How to almost get arrested at Bruster’s on a Saturday night

Ok, well this past weekend I performed in a review of several different musicals over the years. Of these were “Sideshow”, “Spring Awakening”, “Sweeney Todd” and “RENT”. After our performance Saturday night, a group of people and myself went to Bruster’s to get some ice cream. Everyone got their ice cream decently fast, but unfortunately for my friend Michael they stopped serving as soon as he got to the window. My friends and I had gotten semi-excited due to our recent ice cream sugar rush and thought to ourselves “Hey, we should sing the song “La Vie Boheme” from RENT”. This was the outcome……

This was possibly one of the best nights of my life. But, unfortunately the employees at Bruster’s were saying that we were “Holding them hostage as an act of retaliation for not giving Michael any ice cream”. So they called the cops! If you listen closely you can hear the lady telling me to get off the table and the girl in the background telling her to get back inside! Good times…….

Stole this from Nathan….

I read in Nathans blog of his favorite memories of 2007 and I decided to copy his idea. I may miss a couple of things but this should cover most of it.

1) Going to Oak Leaf Church and becoming an active volunteer after things at my previous church got a little messy

2) Being kicked out of my former band(this may not seem like a good thing, but later down the road my music took a good turn)

3) Summer 2007! Crazy fun!

4) Playing in the September Limelight of our church youth. This was huge for me considering I had been trying to get involved with the music at oak leaf for 6 months.

5) Making friends within the church like Nathan, Jake Dudley, and Matt Moody.

6) Meeting a simply AMAZING person in September. You can read one of my previous blogs about her if you like.

7) Helping out at AMPED which was a Superwow like concert that the Cass High School FCA put on. Matt and the guys came and played, Coach Bruton gave the message and I think it was pretty successful. We got there at 10 in the morning and didn’t leave until 9 that night, but the fun meter was about to break!

MY birthday, which just so happened to be pretty shibby. I had a cake made of cup-cakes, and bought half of my pedal set-up with some of my birthday money.

9) Played at the November Limelight with Chris Coleman playing guitar with me. Personally I think it was the best Limelight we’ve had so far.

10) Thanksgiving. Family events are always the best.

11) I began playing at the main service at Oak Leaf. Became friends with Will , Dean, Joel, Carey and Jason.

12) Played guitar at Oak Leafs “Rockin’ Christmas Eve Eve” concert. It was definately the most fun I had ever had playing with a group before in my life! Although……I was somewhat nervous. Having it been the first time I had played in front of a thousand plus people at once.

13) Christmas. Although one of my family gatherings was a little dis-functional things turned out to be just fine.

14) Becoming involved in my schools acting department. We put on “You’re a God Man Charlie Brown” and I got the part of Charlie Brown! I met some awesome people doing that play and I’ll never forget it.

Last but not least I want to recognize everyone whom I came to know and love. Al the new friends, all the old friends, and a couple people that I still not really know…….but either way, it was a pretty good year.
