Here's a non-technical post.

This weekend, I drove a van to Dallas for the Youth Evangelism Conference.  It was really fun.  I hadn't planned on going, but so many kids signed up that they needed some extra drivers.  In short, it was a blast.

Among the highlights were:

• Audio Adrenaline - The last time I saw Audio A in concert, I had much more appropriate, shoulder-length hair to rock with.  It was a fantastic show.
• Kirk Cameron (link to a pretty impressive flash site that I just stumbled across) - He had an incredible amount of insight.  Much more than I expected.  He ended up being a very impressive speaker.
• Red Cloud (link to the only google hit with pictures) - He and his skinny white assistant (who looked an awful lot like Screech from “Saved by the Bell“) did some “freestyle“ rap which was pretty entertaining.  After a few songs, he had the crowd approach the stage and pull things out of their pockets.  He then made up a rap about all the things.  It would have been more impressive if it wasn't so easy to anticipate what was in people's pockets.  He became a favorite of mine just because it was fun to imitate him.
• Grits - I had only heard of them because of a cameo on the first Out Of Eden album I got at the above mentioned previously attended AudioA concert.  It was a fun concert, but that's not really the style of music I'm into much anymore.
• The van ride to and from - We had an absolute blast on the way and back. Lots of Homestar Runner references and impersonations and walkie-talkie fun.  It really took me back.  My parents got on one of the overpasses in Belton and waved as we drove past.  They are crazy.
• Stephen Baldwin (link to a related article) - He was a very sincere goofball.  He definitely has a heart for youth.

There's so much more to write about this, but if I don't stop, I'll never finish this entry. Again, it was fun.
