And sorry, I haven’t posted this earlier, but here are the results from our show.

Tim Storm def. The Bishop
The Bishop, Jonah and Chris Idol def. Tim Storm, Apoc and Eagle – Bishop made the pin

We didn’t do an alter call at the end of the show, so we don’t know how many decisions were made, but there were 450 people there and we know God was at work.

Carter comes to visit

Regardless of the pay and the long hours I might complain about, it’s always fun to work in a position where congressmen stop in just to say hello.
Just spent 20-30 minutes chatting with Rep. John Carter and two staff members. He’s doing one of his normal tours of the district to keep in touch with media and local leaders. I think this is the fourth or fifth time I’ve talked with him on a tour of the district since he took office in Jan 2005.
I have to respect a congressman like that. I was in Belton for a full year while Chet Edwards was in office and he never stopped by our office and I don’t know of anytime he stopped in Belton other than the 4th of July parade or a special ceremony at the Bell County Museum. The only time I met him was the day he announced he would not run for re-election in our newly aligned district, but run in Waco instead.
Granted I think he did some great things for this area, but I never once talked to the man, either after all my phone calls or in person.
I think that’s smart marketing and working.
As a representative in the U.S. Congress you need to make yourself as available as possible to the media. If you’re not, you can’t get your name out there and winning re-election is rough.
Well, now that I’ve met my “celebrity” for the day – back to the salt mines.

iPod vending machine

Now this is just nuts. Robert Scobble, Microsoft evangelist found a vending machine in his hotel lobby that sold iPods.
Nuts. What’s funny though, is the machine was running Windows software. HA.
Scobleizer: Microsoft Geek Blogger writes: “Maryam, Patrick and I were just having breakfast at the Sunnyvale Four Points Sheraton and when we came out we saw a huge vending machine. OK, that alone might be notable, but Patrick instantly recognized that it sells iPods and other Apple stuff, along with the typical junk food and other items you might expect in a hotel lobby.”
