Seventh: Well I got to go wee them in Kenosha at Carthage College!! My parents let me and my brother go!! We left Madison right after school and made it there at 5:30. We got there and they were kinda suprised to see us, but happy. We went around giving hugs, and talked for a bit. Then they did sound check. They started "Yahweh", and I was gonna sing along, but Todd started the song with: "God said to Erin and John"!!! It was really cool...he made up a verse, and then went to the chorus...It was really sweet and John and I laughed so hard that our sides hurt!! It was really sweet and really cool!! After sound check, Lloyd asked us if we'd had supper, and we hadn't. They invited us to join them for dinner!! The pastor of the chapel paid for my meal..Thanks So Much!! We all sat together, and started talking. We all got to know each other a lot better. We talked on the way to and from the cafetiria! Then come the concert time. I kinda helped Lowell set up the sales table, and talked with some of the guys. The the concert. A group on campus, Amish Power Co. opened for Echelon. It was cool! Then Echelon played. Even though I've heard the songs so many times before, they still mean a whole lot!! They did "Dead(now that I am)" from "CORE". During the song, the lights went out!! They carried out part of the concert in the dark, but during the song, the Pastor turned on the overhead lights and there was a kinda white glow that really fit well with the song.. it seemed almost rehearsed, but it wasn't!! =) We started to help take down the sales table and Lowell said that we should really get going. We agreed. We went to give hugs, and as we hugged Lloyd, he asked the group to come over and to say a prayer for us. It was really cool!! They cared soooo much for us! It trully felt like God was there!! We made it back to Madison safe, and I e-mailed Echelon this morning(Tues Mar. 24) to let them know!! It was really cool an I really got to say good-bye this time. It will be a few months before I see them again, and I already miss them!
I'll add links and list later I guess...
