Wed-Thursday—Alive: Ohio
Friday—Big Ticket: Northern Michigan (15 hour overnight drive)
Saturday—Atlantafest in Georgia!!
We made it safely to Atlanta, despite the overnight drive and our van starting to make strange noises (props to Jordan for taking the 12-5am shift!). We played at Atlantafest on Saturday at noon in the blistering 96+ degree heat (the kind of weather where you sweat about a pound of water per hour), and it went really well. The festival even showed our music video each night on the jumbotrons! Sunday morning, we worshiped with Sovereign Grace Church in Woodstock, GA. It was a great time of fellowship, and we made some great new friends.
Enter Monday…. we took the van to a shop, and (as the mechanic put it), “I can’t stop you from driving your van, but I wouldn’t let my son drive it [until it's fixed].” I guess that noise that we heard was serious, since according to them there’s some kind of problem with our power steering and we’re leaking both steering and brake fluid. Now we just have to figure out how to get to our show in Greenville, SC tonight! We are trying to rent a van until we can get back to pick up our van. Luckily, we are enjoying good food, comfortable quarters and great company staying with John’s sister and one of her friends. Update soon!
And there’s a pool!
Thank you all so much for serving us Sunday morning!
