First Week at 705

Not sure why it took me so long to blog about this. Luckily I have good blogger friends who caught my slack here and here. 705 causes a mixture of emotions in me. I've poured so much of my time, heart and energy into it for the last three weeks, that I feel like I've been cheating on my wife with this project--90 hour work-weeks do not a strong marriage make. Now all of the major hurdles are past, the birthing pains have subsided, but I may have a touch of postpartum.

Many have described the new facility as "home." I'm not there yet. It's not quite home. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed being able to simply move my guitar to my office and leave everything else plugged in and in place, after the 2nd worship service. I love much of what we've been able to do with a new building... the quality mixing console, the six (count 'em - 6) monitor mixes for the band and vox, the way we've upgraded our stage lighting capability while going to a far more cost effective lighting rig. The screen and projector are both major upgrades that I'm lovin' already.

It's going to come.


This Sunday was definitely off the chain! Lots of new faces...lots of faces, period. 394 different people came to one of our two worship experiences. The band was just simply smoking! We still have a few sound issues to address, as well as a power issue (as in, suddenly not having any), but it's gonna come together. Mike, Steve and Sean are a great team to work with...three guys I'd hire in a second if the time was right.


It's way late...I've got more to say, but I'd better end this while I'm somewhat coherent.
