I have been a volunteer for this festival for 4 years now in the tech area. In previous years, I would go on Friday night and help with the setup and rigging of the sound and lights, which is something I used to do alot of in my younger days.

monitorworld It started at about 7:00 when we unloaded the headliner’s equipment. ( won’t mention him by name for multiple reasons..). The one cool thing about being on the tech crew is unloading and setting up all of the equipment. The equipment seems to either get heavier every year, or I lose strength every year, I can’t really tell which it is either way I feel like I have been through bootcamp.

In what has become an Awakeningfest tradition, it rained. Only this time it rained.. and rained … and rained.. all day. The remarkable thing is that alot of people showed up, I would imagine it was about 10,000, maybe more. The bands were all great, here are some of the pictures I tweeted during the day.

Granted, she will always be a little tattered since the events of 7 years ago today. (Did you know that I actually felt the impact of when the plane hit the Pentagon?)

I love September because like spring, it is a time for things new, new tv shows, new football season, new school year. The 2 biggest reasons I love September are:

  • My WEDDING ANNIVERSARY ( It will be 13 years on September 28 )
  • AWAKENING FEST

    • I love this month because it is a time where God reminds me that as much as I love my wife (and my daughter, it goes beyond words) and as much as I can’t imagine living my life without them, that is but a drop in the bucket of how much God loves both you and me. Also, I love Awakening Fest, not just because of the great people and the awesome music, although that is a huge part of it, It is because for 1 weekend, an out of shape ex roadie like myself can dust off those skills gained long ago and put them to work for the Lord’s kingdom. Its pretty awesome!!

    Speaking of awesome, the headliners this year are a little band you may have heard of..
