Today I'm a poster post-er

Wen we're finally done with the new CD and we send it in to be printed, we'll also order a bunch of promo posters - the logic being that an actual printed promo poster somehow looks better or more professional than one printed out on 8.5 by 11 white paper. This picture was dropped by my place today - any ideas for a caption for the poster if we used it?

Take us back to summer camp, yo

The next two weekends CST will be back at Camp EWALU, leading music and doing messages for their fall junior high retreats (we're not mentioned on that webpage, I know, but we'll be there nonetheless). "Back" because EWALU is where Matt and I first met, almost thirteen and a half years ago (holy crap!).

It's a lot of fun to do these weekend retreats; there's obviously a much higher level of interaction involved in leading singalong tunes than there is in a regular concert, and we get several hours of stage time over the course of the weekend - which is nice for our performer's egos. Plus we usually get to know several of the kids and get to participate in some of the other activities and generally be part of the ministry work being done over the weekend. It's like being back at camp for a weekend (largely, in this case, because we actually will be back at camp, but we've done events like this in hotel conference rooms and the experience is pretty similar), which is lots of fun for us.

Of course, it also means that the next two weekends are shot as far as working on the new CD goes... still optimistic about a 2006 release for that!

If you're in the Strawberry Point area these next two weekends, stop by and get your feet dirty with us.
