Onefest!

So I didnt think that I would be going to Onefest. We were supposed to be in Illinois a bit longer, but we got home early last night. Then there was the problem of not having a ticket and I was not about to spend 50 bucks on one at the door. I had just sat down to read some C.S. Lewis when someone called me and told me that they had an extra ticket that I could have!! So, of course I jumped up and said I would take it. I got to the Dome at about 7 pm. It was awesome to walk into the Dome and see that huge stage set up, with hundreds of people all scattered around the floor and in the stands! The first thing that caught my eye was the Onefest banner that had their slogan on it: "As one body we come." I really like that - it is a worthy reason for having a huge concert festival like Onefest. Coming together and worshipping God as one voice.
So Newsboys was there. They were awesome as usual. And then there were a bunch of smaller, less known bands who were all pretty good. Then I went swimming...played racquetball...played pingpong and a few other things (not necessarily in that order). Then after all that (at about 4 am I think) we went back into the Dome and played cards/slept for a while. At 6 am the main concert stage opened up again with Shattered Reality. These guys were awesome. The whole group is made up of about 20 drummers, all playing together. It was really cool and really loud!
So yeah, then I left at about 7 am, so I was there for about 12 hours. It was so cool!


Hey, Aaron here. I also went to Onefest. It was pretty sweet. I helped set up the day before, like the huge central stage, a secondary stage, and then moved a bunch of stuff around. I hung out wiith a few friends, like Matt, and we went swimming, and I schooled him in ping pong, and we played racquetball, and he schooled me at poker, and we listened to the Newsboys, and all in all had an awesome time. It was cool. Good times, good times. Well, peace out all, have a Happy New Year.
