The Winter Adventure

Well we are almost at our 1 year anniversary of this blog and last night marked a big day for us Foundation Guys....we finally got our PA system (that's Professional Audio for ya'll non-geeks). Man we have been talking about and dreaming about having our own gear for a long time, so we can go anywhere we'd like and have a worship service...and sound dang good doing it too.

So what makes this story even greater is the Winter Adventure me and Walk had to go on to get this dern thing. Well, originally our sound guy Hal from Harrison Productions, was gonna drive up from Clemson to deliver the system and do a sound check with us, but his father had to undergo some surgery and he couldn't come all the way up for the service Sunday...so we were going to meet him in Spartanburg to get the system.

Well then it snows yesterday, and of course you don't want to haul around an expensive PA in the back of your truck in the snow so Hal decided to just bring it later. Well then it was going to be sometime next week, and man waiting that long would drive me crazy...I mean heck we've been wantin this thing for a year now...So me and Walk decided to hop in the car and drive all the way down to Anderson, SC...home of Perry Noble...and pick this thing up in the snow. Oh and we had to get there and back in 2 1/2 hours...which was not going to happen. Anyways, we go haulin down 85 in the slush running 70mph the whole way and finally meet up with Hal in the back of a Wendy's parking lot. We get out of our vehicles, swap big cargo containers, briefcases, and metal boxes and end with a handshake, get in our cars and pull off. Man I wish we had on some suits....the drive-thru ladies would have thought we were the Redneck Mafia with some "hot" goods.

After our exchange we grabbed a bite to eat and went sliding in the slush all the way back home and finally got to set our baby up in the Renfro Center. It was way better than Christmas...and it wasn't even a present, in fact we'll be paying on this thing for a while, haha....but oh boy, did it sound sooo good. So anyways, I'm very excited about the service this Sunday because we'll get to put this sweet rig to good use and I'll get to talk out of some fancy little ear microphone that's so small I'm afraid it's going to get lost in my ear.

See yall Sunday.
