Hope you all have a wonderful Independence Day and enjoy the long weekend.
I have 3 tickets to the Coldplay show in Portland this coming Friday. I’m trying to either sell them or sell 2 of them to friends so I can go with them. Let me know if you are interested or know someone who is.

Isn’t the Derek Webb drama not real?

And I wish I could be in Portland to a) see Coldplay and b) see your worship set tomorrow.
Happy 4th! Hope it was great!
yeah i really don’t get the whole derek webb thing. he talked about homosexuality and used a cuss word. i guess that isn’t “christian” enough. it was really just a promo and it probably worked.
Actually, the Derek Webb stuff seems more like an episode of LOST to me… weird.
Seriously thought about doing the coldplay concert … but it was at the end of a busy week and a wedding on Saturday. Have fun!
But then I keep also thinking of the reasons I don’t do concerts any more … I don’t like to stand or dance around, I like to sit and enjoy. Plus, then I’m not blocking those behind me (the tallness in me).
