In November of 2003 one of my favorite bands had thier final show in Denver, CO. They made a live cd that night and said good-bye one last time to thier fans. I was there that night. Five Iron Frenzy is missed deeply. Then in August of 2004 another one of my favorite bands said good-bye in Nashville, TN. I was there that night. Bleach is also missed deeply. Now in October of 2005 yet another one of my favorite bands is dying. This time it will be in La Mirada, CA. Sadly though i will not be able to attend this final show. I’m in the Netherlands currently and it would cost way too much to fly to California from here for a concert. *laughs* Although i did seriously concider breaking out my “for emergency only” credit cards. *smile*
On a side note Bleach did play once more in March of 2005 for a benefit show in Nashville. That was a good, but sad show i was able to attend most of. Bleach will play again at the Suptertones final show in Cali. I wonder if members of FIF will be there as well. *sigh* There is more to life then music, but i would have loved to have been able to be there for the show.

…was fun. I got to finally go to church at Levend Water. It’s a neat little church that reminds me of Living Stones Fellowship like 8-10 years ago. After service was out everyone basically spent the next hour at the church just talking and joking around with each other. It’s a smaller place (150-200) but very full of very cool people. I bet i had 12-15 people introduce themselves to me and seemed to honestly enjoy talking with me. That’s great to have when you have new people come into a church. There was even a student from China that came to church, got saved and then was publicly baptized at the beach in the same day! *smile* Very cool stuff.

the Insyderz are dead now too! *sad face* i just heard:
“Calling all Insyder fans……The fatal moment has arrived, The Insyderz will be playing their final show ever! This grandios event will take place on September 24th in Leonard Michigan.
If you have ever or never shared a moment with us, we would love to see you. We will be going out in style with the likes of Flatfoot 56 and The O.C. Supertones. This festival will be worth the drive and your skanking bodies will be appreciated. Come and celebrate a decade of service in Christian music. A band, and a ministry that we have found to be unparralleled in its committment to the Gospel. And for those who will not be able to attend….thank you for your love and support, all these years. May God richly bless you, as you pursue Him.
The Insyderz”
so sad. so so sad.

I went and saw the room i’ll be staying at in Delft for the next 2.5 months or so. It’s gonna be a room of my own…and is part of a house ill share a kitchen, livingroom and bathroom with 3 other guys. There is also a wi-fi network there so ill be able to much more often make updates to my website as well as to others i work on. *smile* It also means i will be able to stop working those 17 hour days i’ve been working. Tomarrow should be the last one i have to work here in Utrecht, God willing. I’ll keep you all updated as i can.
