God has been blessing us with some nice perks recently.
On April 9th, David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs attended our show in San Antonio.
We’re now in Dallas for the Heartbeat International Conference. I was walking out of General Session room the first day and was stopped by Deion Sanders manger with questions about our equipment. I looked up and there was Deion standing in the doorway.
Later that day we realized Joyce Meyer was in town doing a free conference. We caught a train that night and hoped we could get a seat. When we got to the Reunion Arena, there were lots of empty seats in the high sections so we were relieved that there was room. On the way to the nosebleed seats, a Joyce Meyer Ministries usher approached us and asked how many we had. He then took us and sat us in the second row! To sweeten the deal, Matt Redman was the opening act and he and his band were seated right in front of us when they were finished!
Last night, we had to move our entire set down a floor then do a portion of our program for the General Session and no one got dinner. We wanted to go to the West End for dinner, but since the trains stopped running at 11 and it was already 9 we weren’t sure what to do. We walked outside our hotel and there was an Escalade Limo. We worked a deal with driver and it ended up being cheaper for the 14 of us to take the limo instead of taking the train one way and several cabs back. Here’s a tip you learn in you travel to big cities a lot: if there is limo in front of the hotel there are 2 possibilities. 1. It’s booked and picking someone up/dropping some one off or
2. It doesn’t have any business and is willing to make a deal! Limos are often cheaper than cabs! Plus when your in a limo, people wave at you and you can put down the windows and yell “we a big deal!!!!” Since our driver was late picking us up, we talked him into driving us to Dealey Plaza and showing us the site of the Kennedy Assassination.
Tonight, our team set a new record for our fastest tear down with a time of 1 hour and 9 minutes! After 3 exhausting days, being done in record time was perhaps the greatest blessing!
