Switchfoot does it right

From the Christianpost:

Switchfoot, as part of their ongoing Oh! Gravity Tour, has been recording and selling live bootlegs after every concert.
They have encouraged fans to share and trade their bootleg CDs online with other fans, which has led to a new website at www.switchfootbootlegs.com.
The band was excited to see the new site and is happily surprised by the devotion of their fans.
“Within just a few hours, you all created a new website … that continues to grow everyday, and is completely run by you guys. We think it’s pretty fantastic,” explained the band in a recent newsletter.
For every performance of their tour, the band has been recording and manufacturing the live concerts. They would sell around 100 bootlegs per night as a way to give something more personal to their fans.
Devotees have shown interest, buying up all the CDs at every event.

Fields of Mundan

Just received this from my friend Max at The Mission in Dallas. I won’t be able to make it due to prior commitments but I’m sure it will be a good time. I’d like to see the movie later if nothing else.

On March 25th at 6:00 pm we will be viewing this film at The Mission {2626 Commerce St. Dallas, Tx.} The content of this short film {23 minutes} has brought in to question my right to exist without responding to this issue. It’s not that you and I don’t care, we just too easily succumb to the distraction of busyness or the numbness of indifference when it comes to injustice. In all of our good times together as friends, seldom does the time spent together translate into such a life changing chance for others.
Our country, state and Dallas itself is being infiltrated with human traffickers with little resistance. America, once again is a destination for human slavery. This time the victims are innocent young girls being kidnapped and sold for prostitution. Presently, the most effective form of resistance is awareness. Please consider taking the time to join us for a meal, viewing of the film, and conversation on how we can be more informed about this horrific issue in our communities. There is no cost to you to attend, if you would like to join us please email me at maxfincher@hotmail.com or call at 214-808-4598 to let us know you are coming.

You never know what you’ll find on YouTube

So I was browsing YouTube this morning and came across a video from WaxahachieJournal.com.
I’m not familiar with all the names involved, but Jennifer Howell was a stringer for the WDL and worked for the Waxahachie Now magazine as recent as their last edition.
Not sure if she’s doing both now or what but she’s listed as one of the publishers and the executive editor.
I can easily see more of these popping up around the country/world as people go to the web to get their news.
The site is mainly feature oriented but they’re taking advantage of things like YouTube to put video on their website for free. Very smart.

Everything Glorious

Everything Glorious

Scott and the band have been rocking out to this song the last couple weeks at encounter and I’ve loved having it stuck in my head throughout the week. Jose suggested that Scott needs to grow a long goatee and a fro like David Crowder though to really do the song justice. Not sure I can imagine that but either way — God makes EVERYTHING glorious — so what does that make you?

The day is brighter here with You
The night is lighter than it’s hue
Would lead me to believe
Which leads me to believe

You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours
What does that make me?

My eyes are small but they have seen
the beauty of enormous things
Which leads me to believe
there’s light enough to see that

You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours

From glory to glory
You are glorious You are glorious
From glory to glory
You are glorious. You are glorious
Which leads me to believe
why I can believe that

You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours

From glory to glory From glory to glory
You are glorious. You are glorious.
You are glorious. You are glorious.

You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours
