Michael Tait with the Newsboys at 3:28 PM

A few weeks ago I was in Gaylord Michigan at Big Ticket Festival which is a Christian Music Festival. There were over 60 bands there including Third Day, David Crowder, and Newsboys.

This year I acquired backstage passes. So while backstage I saw all the tour buses unloading there gear and band members. I was backstage taking some pictures before the newsboys went on and I saw Michael Tait sitting on the bleachers to the right of the stage. So I went up and sat right behind him. I sat there for a few minutes pretending to watch what was going on onstage (Natalie Grant). I fibnally then turned around and said "Im really excited for the show." He responded with , "So am I." I then took a picture with him and left to go take some more pictures.

So then later that night I went backstage again. The second to last band (Seven Glory) was finishing up and the newsboys stepped out of their tour bus. They walked over and chatted with me a bit. We talked about their new album and other newsboys topics. They were about to go up on stage and i stood there and took a few more pics of them. Mike talked to me some more and then it was time go on. The boys circled up and prayed. Then walked out. I went around to the front of the stage and stood between the crowd and the band.

The concert began they started with "Something Beautiful" and went on from there. I was shocked. The concert was amazing. I think Mike did an equal job as to what Peter Furler did. I was so happy that I got to see that show. Next time the boys are in town make sure you check them out.

Big Ticket Festival 2009 at 2:19 PM

This past weekend was The Big Ticket Festival in Gaylord Michigan. For those of you who dont know what that is its a Christian/Contemporary music festival with over 60 bands. The big names in christian music play here every year there. Such as Newsboys, Switchfoot, Third Day, Chris Tomlin, Super Chick, and Toby Mac to name a few. This year, 2009, the headliners were Newsboys, Switchfoot, and Third Day.

This was the highlight of my year. Some amazing people that I know gave me a media pass which allowed me to go backstage. When I went back there I was so happy. All of my favorite bands were just walking around back there. I met the newsboys for the second time. I got pictures with them all as you can see above.

But anyways this was an amazing weekend. I to meet my inspirations, hear great music, and be in the company of great friends.

Some Pretty Cool News at 4:16 PM

I have to things to tell you that are pretty cool.

The first one is from now on every once and a while I will do a video blog. Which basically means instead of you reading you will watch. So for all of my illiterate readers out there you will no enjoy my blog and not just stare at in question.

The second cool thing will probably not effect you at all. It is that I found out before every one that
Third Day will be at The Big Ticket Festival. For those of you who dont know what that is check out this website.
