Tour is over!

OK, so about 3 weeks ago, I said I was going on tour.  And I made a promise that I would write more of what I am seeing and doing, well looks like I did not keep that end of the deal very well.  So if you will forgive me, I will do a recap.  The tour was great, we saw good size crowds the entire tour, I got to spend my a couple of days in New York City which was really exciting I had never been.  It was very overwhelmingly huge. Time Square was amazing.  The guys played in a very well known club called the Knitting Factory, which is about to be torn down, it had an amazing vibe to it.  

We spent several days in PA, before heading back south.  This past Wednesday Nevertheless had a cd release show in Chattanooga, it was great.  We had a turn out of over 1,200 people, I was in charge of most of the logistics for the day, so it was pretty stressful.  We then headed out to Cincinnati to play at a really neat Christian club called the Underground then Greenville, Sc and we just finished tonight in Mobile, AL.

We are driving through the night to get back for church in the morning because we will be gone for the next few weekends doing Acquire the Fire events.  It was a great tour, we made tons of new friends, but I am excited to be home for a couple of days and see everyone, plus I am a little sick so going to try to get better.  

Tour is about to start!!

I was able to go to my home church this morning Ethos in Chattanooga, it is an amazing community if you are ever near you should come.  It is so good to be able to go, that is one of the bummers about traveling so often.  I am just sitting at home right now watching some football, before this crazy week gets started.  I am putting some finishing touches on a message that I will give at a retreat this weekend in Alabama.

 

Monday I am going back to Gainesville, GA for a few days to work some in the TEAMeffort office, then I will be heading back to pack for tour.  The Unbreakable Tour begins thursday in New Jersey.  It is with Fireflight, Nevertheless, and Me in Motion.  I am will be speaking at the retreat and then flying from Atlanta to Washington D. C.  where Nevertheless will pick me up, we have 16 shows in 18 days it is going to be pretty tiresome.  But I am really excited about it, it is something new for me, I will be Road Pastoring, but also Road Managing.  

I have been reading a book by C.S Lewis called the Problem of Pain, and finishing up the book by Erwin Mcmanus The Barbarian Way.  I have been listening to the new Nevertheless record "In the Making" that comes out on the 16th nonstop and i cannot get enough of Paramore and Flyleaf.    I will be posting pictures and stories from tour really soon, I also hope to do some video blogs as well so stay posted.
