Choir Tour '06 - A Trip To NYC

At right is a picture of Times Square, the internationally known location in downtown New York City. I was there over spring break with a group of 113 other people from Cumberland Presbyterian Church and the Youth Choir. Obviously NYC was the "lure" of the trip, but we also experienced going to a soup kitchen, driving through Lancaster County (Amish Country) and playing in all locations from Knoxville to New Brunswick.

If anyone has been to NYC then I'm sure they went to China Town, probably one of the biggest locations for knock off jewelry, Rolexes, Oakleys, and other assorted "treasures." Well I didn't get to experience the "back-door purchases" of Louis Vitton, Chanel, Prada, Coach or Dior Purses, but I did get to pick up a Rolex, "Stolex" off of a guy and a pair of Oakley sunglasses, "Foakleys."

I have to say I cling to the big city scene like a tick to a dog's back. It's just natural. I love the bustle and frenzy of everyone doing their own thing. I liked how everyone had their iPods out and listening to them, minding their own business looking important and walking through the city. What a great trip..only we were back in school the day after we got back :) Thanks for reading - as always Enjoy!

A Taste Of Chaos

I know it's been like a year since i've last posted and I'm sorry. The easy way out of saying "Gee I've been busy" comes to mind but that't no excuse! My faithful readers (If I have any of those) deserve at least a once in a blue moon post from me! So here are some pictures from "Taste Of Chaos" tour that I went to Solo in St. Charles (Right outside of St. Louis, MO). It was a super wild concert. The pictures are of the band As I Lay Dying, one of the Christian groups on a almost complete secular tour.

The guys were just like one of my friends when I talked with them. They were friendly, shook my hand and were interested in me. It makes me happy to know that I like a band that is friendly in real life (Even though the screamed lyrics sound like they're angry :P)
