It has been a while since I mentioned The Roadshow Flickr to you guys. If your new around here or don’t remember what it is, The Roadshow Flickr is a place that we send photos to throughout the day for Roadshow-ers to see. It is a unique opportunity see The Roadshow from the crews perspective. Make sure you stop by and check out the photos that we have been posting.

It is said every night at The Roadshow, the focus of the night should and needs to be on Jesus. He is the reason for the music and the production. He is the reason the artists even write songs. So it makes sense that at some point in the night we would strip everything down and sing simple songs to him.Steve Fee from the group FEE has the opportunity of leading this time of worship.
For about ten minutes there is only one acoustic guitar joined by the voices of thousands in the audience singing praise to our God. There is something special and in my opinion, irreplaceable about a time of worship led with only an acoustic guitar. It is an moment that is not often experienced and I am sure for many people it is unexpected, but non-the-less welcomed.
A quick thanks to Steve Fee for leading us in this time of worship.

Wow… It is hard to believe that The Roadshow 2010 is almost over. Four more shows and then we are done. As expected this does bring about some mixed feelings. Of course we are all excited to go home and spend some time with our families, but we are also sad to say good-bye to our “road families.” The good news is there is still a week of The Roadshow left. One last week to catch the show live, one more week for tour shenanigans, and one more week for the live stream. So let’s go out with a bang. Let’s blow up twitter, facebook and the city sidewalks. Let’s make this last week something to write… go home about.
Who’s with me?

There is a bit of celebration in order. Yesterday morning MercyMe met with their lable at a local Hard Rock and were presented with a gold record for their CD All That Is Within Me. If you don’t know, because I didn’t, that represents 500,000 sales. If that isn’t enough they have also become the first Christian artist to sell over 1,000,000 digital downloads. The song: I Can Only Imagine.
Congratulation to MercyMe for a couple of major accomplishments.
