day too.

it was hotter today than i was ready for, but we got to go to the beach tonight, so it more than made up for it. Marcos Witt talked this morning about leading worship, and the balance between the lion, the calf, the man, and the eagle from Revelation, and it was good.

breakout session one: i learned more than i could write down on differing tones for guitars, which was sweet. the guy worked on the original line6 pod, and now works at taylor guitars. he demoed the taylor T5, and i want need one. it's a true electric acoustic, so you can play it as an acoustic, or as an electric, but the coolest was when he did both at the same time, going through two different amps, one guitar. it was amazing. bob taylor, the founder of taylor guitars showed up, and this girl ran out to get her guitar to have him sign, and i was like, pssssh. i didn't win an ipod, but i'm pretty sure that i'm on at least a dozen new email lists from trying to win one at almost every exhibitor's booth.

the final breakout session that i went to was on songwriting, and these two guys that go to saddleback and produce/write music for the likes of Disney talked a lot about polar opposites in songs and building tension to increase interest, memorability, etc. it was solid, and out of everyone i've heard thus far, they seem to have the coolest job.

yesterday i heard some guys from the pd church planting talk about launching large, and some of the concepts will play out in the daybreak stuff, but the one thing that has been rather odd is the huge lack of postmodern material being presented and/or experienced in the main sessions. rhonda did check out an elemental synergy session that sounded pretty solid, it's just sort of lacking on the saddleback campus.


we didn't stick around for the gospel night, but we did run in the waves for a little bit. first though we stood around in the exhibitors tent where lincoln brewster was hanging out, wondering what we could talk to him about, but all we could come up with is, "so you're like famous now right?" but we never asked because we couldn't think of a follow-up question. i think he is sponsered by boss guitar gear now. weird. anyway, peace be with you, and also with you.
