- friday jan 21 - (part 1)
so most of the worship team slept over and diana's place last nite, really really nice house, it's like a hotel, pretty cool...
stayed up all night, kinda aroudn 4am, watched "fighting temptations" (cuba gooding, beyonce), that was a good movie... had bad acting and kinda bad story line but the singing? amazing... gospel.. WOW!!!
newayz... woke up at round 7:30am getting ready to leave TO by like 8am.. didn't happen, left at aroudn 9am but still had more then enough time to get to muskoka woods.. took around 2 and a half hours...
the car ride was good.. well van ride.. vocals in one van, instrumentalists in another... i dotn' know wha thte instrumentalists did but the vocals... pretty fun... felt like we were rock stars kinda...
so the drivers, tim and tim (tang and chan respectively) were the ones that drove us up, in the vocals van, all we had was like this pitch device on tim's palm to get a note and we practiced sinigng and harmonizing.. pretty cool... but it was still early so sounded pretty bad... newayz, that was all the whoel way up.. took a few breaks to watch "Shawshank Redemption", that's a good movie too... but didnt' get to finsih it... it's ok...
we got to muskoka woods at around 11:30 - 12pm, it was nice place.. beautiful scenery.. nto too cold actually, not as winding as TO, but temperature wise it was cold
newayz... found out where they were holding the sessiosn and we brought all our instruments into the "gym" and WOW!!! they were buildling the stage.. literally... BUILDING IT!! was just a few blocks or lik a riser.. but a REAL stage... cutting up the backdrop, spray painting it.. the fumes got to me though.. and jsut everything... it was like being backstage before a concert...
now.. that kinda scared me... i think i felt there was a lot of expectation from the BCOQ organizers that we couldnt' match.. just the band and the concert style was too much... i coudlnt' help it.. it hink i was stressed too because the songs that we have practiced were nice songs but really new to me and i wasnt' ready yet....
praise God that my team helped me through that.. :)
hwo bout i stop for nwo and blog mroe later.. can get pretty long... bfast time....
