Took my girls to Arco Arena last night, to see Steven Curtis Chapman's "All Things New Tour", with Chris Tomlin, and Casting Crowns. Fantastic show! Started right on time at 7:30pm, and kept going, with a 20 minute intermission, till 11pm!
SCC has been making music in the Contemporay Christian genre for about 15 years. He has so many hits, Grammys, and Dove awards it's hard for him to play everyone's favorite during his concert, so between sets, while the crew tore down the other band's gear and set up for the next, he and his band would come out on stage and jam through a medly of 10 or 15 songs, hitting the high points of his recording career.
The sound was great. Well balanced, but not overpowering. Plenty loud for even the very young. Arco is pretty good for concerts.

Movin' On Up
My brother's moving to Eureka, and I'm jealous!
Well, not green-eyed-monster jealous, but I am envious. Jack works for the California Highway Patrol as a dispatcher (just like me, only I'm Sac County), and after 9 years of toiling in Vallejo and Sacramento, got a job out in the country. CHP has a dispatch center in Eureka, and he finally got the slot. I'm gonna help him move in early November, and he should be reporting for duty sometime in the middle of November.
I have to give him, and his fiance, a big thanks for a gift they gave me, though. A CalKing-sized bed! Practically new. Seeing as how I'd been sleeping on a regular twin bed (and those of you who know me will understand, a twin's not really big enough), it's a timely gift, and I thank them very much.
I'm coming up on 15 years in my job. I'm looking forward to the trip to Eureka to look around. After my kids are grown and no longer need dad to be in a particular place for their schooling, etc, I'll be looking around for some place quiet to live, too. I love the coast, and someplace like Eureka might fit the bill.
Never hurts to look, anyway.
