Boxes everywhere I look....

So here I sit....pooped. And I still have a butt load of junk to do.

See the beauty of blogging is how wonderfully it fills the time when you don't want to do something. Cause really if I just pulled myself up by my bootstraps and went to work - I'd be done in an hour or so. But like I said - I just don't feel like doing it right now.

At this very moment I am sitting on my super-deeee-duper futon that my newfound little/big brother not only put together, but man handled it up the three flights of stairs to my apartment. He's suuuuper. So if he reads this - YOU ARE SUPER! Let's find you a lady!

But I'm sure all .5 of you who actually read this are curious about Kingdom Bound. Am I right? Of course I am. Well..........it was amazing. So very much work, but so very worth it. Looking back I know there there were moments that I said that this is blog worthy, but I can't for the life of me remember what one of those moments were. So I shall do my best to share all of the entertaining moments. Where to begin...let's start with my giant bag o' random junk....well just about everything in it came in handy. What was in it you ask?

4 types of tape (red duck tape, black duck tape, shipping tape, masking tape)
nail clippers
rubber bands
sun block
asprin
ibueprophine (how the heck do you spell that)
Benedryl
antacids
band-aids
All important band info (parking passes, credentials, tickets...ect)
band schedules
random stuff that people didn't want to carry (i.e. Karl's jacket that I still have in my possession, and will forget to give it back to him if he doesn't remind me or come get it.)
umbrella
merch money
camera
pens
a whole baby wipes box full of Sharpies
notebook to write out set lists
glossy photos
random notebook of information
keys
sunglasses

I know there was more than that but I can't really remember....but 99% of the stuff in there was used...so I felt pretty good about that bag as massive as it was. I love that I got it for 5 bucks at Wal-Mart!
Anyhoo....entertaing moments of

Day 1......Funny moment - we had set up on the stage and went back for food I had just gotten my burger and we get a call that the rain is comin and we should go pack up some of our stuff to save it from the rain...so we the crew jump in cars drive over to the stage, and pack up all the super important stuff in a very speedy manner just to watch the storm blow over. So we hung out on the stage for a while. There was cuddling, and banter, the usual among the boys. But I'd have to say one of the highlites of day one would be Late Nite. It was pretty much a laid back worship acoustic jam session type thing. I loved hearing acoustic versions of the Relevant songs....and it was nice seeing Karl out from behind the sound board and on stage playing for once. The best part was the silly banter inbetween songs. I swear to you there were moments when I thought I might pee my pants. I'm sure the exhaustion played a large in the silliness, but that was some funny crap. Like the moment that a guy walked into the tent with no shirt on and Anthony said "Hey! No shirt, that's ok too. Come on in!" It was a good time. Funny mildly inapproprite stories were told - it was a grand ole time that was repeated the following night. What else happened that day - I was attacked by Karl and spun around on his shoulder. Oh and I slept like poo that night. But I had a fabulous roommate! I heart Michelle!!!!!

Day 2......
Woke up early to call the boys to make sure they were awake for a TV interveiw. Turns out the woman doing the interview was an idiot and didn't do her research, but whatever. That's her problem not mine. Walked into the guys trailer for food to find that it already smelled like boy in the worst way. After that went back to the Merch table, aka the table to which I was married, and hung out there for a while...sold som CDs, sold some shirts..hung out with Karl's Mom (who has declared herself my Buffalo Mom)...then I went back to the trailer cause I got bored...Hung out in the trailer for a bit after making lunch for Karl and I, then some more of the posse that we had there showed up and chaos ensued. There was a fly killing war between Karl and I - it was a tie in the end if you were wondering. There was a wrestling match on a bed between Karl, Anth, Jer and Pete...got that on tape. And then we were off to the show for that evening. I feel the need to point out the best/silliest/most random thing about the Mid-Way stage. Front of House...it was a whopping 12 feet away from the front of the stage. Now for those of you who don't know any better....that is ridiculously close to the stage. I laughed. Karl rolled his eyes. It was good. After the show I went back to the merch table. Everyone left about an hour after the show to go make dinner. I asked Karl to bring me some back at Merch cause I couldn't leave the table. I was busy selling stuff...making millions...yadda yadda yadda. He made a 70% promise to bring me some chicken. An hour and a half later I text him "FOOOOOOD" and he suddenly realizes that that 30% chance that he was not going to bring me food became a 100% failure in bringing the intern food. He felt bad for a second. I didn't really care that much cause I wasn't especially hungry at the time, so I went and met Claire and Karl back in the sound booth of the Casting Crowns Concert. It was a good time. We then left to go to the Late Nite tent and have another highly entertaining evening with the Brothers Acoustic, Jer and Karl. It was this night that I gave Karl a brief piggy-back ride due to his fear that we was going to break me. He wouldn't have - I was fine.

Day 3....
I got to sleep in a bit. I was up a 9. Went back over to the guys trailer with Michelle for breakfast...the trailer didn't smell AS bad this day, but it still smelled like boy. So we ate and then I went back to the merch table. Karl's son Ethan came this day. We played in the dirt. I liked it. He's a good kid, and super adorable. The Jake, Karl, Suzanne and I went to go watch Fireflight....then it downpoured. In a crazy sort of way. So we ran back to the merch table and that was some refuge. I stayed there for a spell until I decided that I was going to shut it down because we weren't really selling anything because we weren't playing that day. So back to trailer I went. I don't really remember what else happened that day.....OH! I finished heating up the chilli that Karl had started, and I handed that out. Then I went somewhere, and eventually ended up at the Chris Tomlin concert. He dresses weird. Saw Chris Tomlin play, called Jess during the show cause she loves him. Hung around a bit for Toby Mac. Hated myself for that, but I've never seen Claire so excited. It was cute, but I wasn't sure we could be friends anymore after seeing that. Karl, Kevin and I left early. And that would be when I got my piggyback ride from Karl.

Day 4.....
I got up early to go make the boys breakfast and coffee. We had an early radio interview. Come to find out, there was a live audience and we had no merch with us. GASP! So I ran across the park to go get the merch bag and walked back in a brisk manner. lol. It was a good interview, but I was tired by the time I got back and it was only 8:30am. We got a ride back over to the Park Stage - that was nice. I wanted to take a nap, but no such luck. I had intern stuff to do. Like take pictres, run merch, take video, be fabulous....stuff like that.
After the last show I went back to merch, and then back to the trailer to clean up after the boys and finish packing up everything in there. Once that was done I hopped in the car with Anth, and we drove back to Evangel, where I picked up my car to drive back to my room to go drive back home. SO yeah - that was a loooong day. But a good one. A very good one.

So pretty much I went home to pack up the rest of my junk to go move into my apartment. And like I said at the begining of this post...I'm pooped.

I have to go unpack.

BYE!
