concert, concert, concert.

i must say, i'm loving the way i swung into things back in lexington.

i also must say, i'm a little bit of an idiot for planning 7 concerts in the first 7 weeks of school.

that being said, the first two have been wonderful. Jason Jones, a band from nashville, came to campus august 27. it was a lovely show. i'm not the biggest fan of country music, but this guy has made me DANCE twice. he's doing something right, i can tell you that.

very easy band to work with. extremely nice, extremely respectful, extremely generous. the crowd was very lacking, but we did have a few things up against us. rush week, first day of classes, not enough promotion time, plus rain. its okay though, the crowd that came was appreciative.

ry cuming was on the 5th. i'm a bit infatuated with the guy. not only is his songs S-T-U-C-K in my head, but i could not have asked for an easier guy to deal with. there was not any issues here whatsever. came into lexington a few days early so he could poke around, explored a bit, and got a chance to land a in-studio with WRFL. it was a great great time. the concert brought out around 100 people, which was way way less than i wanted. but i realized that 100 on a friday night for a guy no one has ever heard of it a bit impressive. so that was great!

he lives in LA, so i'm hoping we'll stay in touch. he said he'd teach me how to surf! which is great. thats something i really want to learn how to do, but i have no idea how to even get started! lessons are too much, so i'm hoping he won't back down on the offer. haha

i had a lovely weekend off from all kinds of work. sleeping in, going out late, doing nothing in between was a much needed break. time to do a little homework and take it easy for the rest of the night before it all starts again tomorrow! anthony david concert on wednesday. whew.

Wow! I never knew how amazingly thoughtful you are. I'm proud in a way I can't describe, so I won't even try. I'm also afraid of the seriousness with which you think. I'm use to the inch deep discussions, not the opposite end of the iceberg. When did this all happen and how did I miss it?

Once we BELIEVE, our future is locked in. The journey to the finish line is how we can live to maturity. But whose maturity, ours or His. The full measure is defined in the doing, not the completion of doing. My thought is He is loving your doing. This should bring you a peace which transends your knowledge but none the less is real. Accept the peace which he offers you and enjoy the journey.

I love you as only a Daddy can, unconditionally!
