Just got back from the Van Andel arena where we saw the Trans Siberian Orchestra. We were invited to go by some friends and so we jumped into the phenomenon... It was very cool. It was dripping with 80's cliche's (that's why I loved it) like the big hair, drum solo, guitar solos, swaying back and forth, kicking at the air and musically battling back and forth with fellow band mates. THEY ALSO HAD LASERS! It was a very cool show! It united rock and classical and techno music into a total unique and amazing experience.

The light show was unbelievable. I realized again how much lighting and atmosphere add to the experience and make a good perfomance into an amazing performance.

Anyways, we also had our gathering this morning and that went smoothly. The message turned out okay and it was fun sharing the story like a personal experience. Gotta try new stuff or we sit and die.

Well gotta go to bed...
