SHOUT!

We’re gonna shout loud, loud
Until the walls come down
Shout loud, loud until the walls come down
Loud, until the walls come down

Cause we’ve already won and you don’t have a chance
Yeah we’ve already won and no, you don’t have a chance
Yeah it’s already done and you don’t have a chance
Because we’ve already won
We have already won

So I guess I shoud update you all on YC 2006 eh? It was an amazing time if there ever was one. I was uber excited to go because Starfield was going to be there. And If you know me, you know that they are my favorite band. As in I like them better than Rex Goudie, or Brad Gushue, or Weber. (I'm also a loser? Did you know that?) I bet you did, anyway I'll try and give you a summary of the weekend.

Friday:
6:30am - We met in the Citidal parking lot to be on the bus and head out on the road for 7am. It was early, but we made out stop to Tim's to get coffee before we left, so it was all good.

7:00am - Laura and I sat next to eachother, we listened to my mp3 player, got pumped for starfield, Sang BSB for 2 hours, proably annoying everyone on the bus, but we were hyper so we didn't care. haha.

5:00pm ish - Arrived in Corner Brook. We registered, and headed off to the Valley Mall to get supper before we had to be on the bus at 6 to line up for the opening session of YC. Myself, Laura and Katharine after we ate went for a walk in downtown corner Brook. We went in search of More for Less, and it turned into a photo scavenger hunt... haha. We were total tourists and got our pictures taken by newfie statues, giant sunflowers and murals of people... haha. It was fun times, hopefully sometime soon Katharine will send me some of the pictures and you'll get to see them.

6:15pm - Lined up with 4 thousand other young people, that was nuts. I hate lineing up at YC, people are nuts, puching and stuff... but at the same time It's exciting because you know whats comming really soon.

8:00pm - It Starts!! It started with a little video clip like it always does, with the song I wrote the lyrics for in the beginning of the blog. Desperation Band lead all the Friday night stuff. They were good! I didn't know any of their stuff, but I liked it all the same. They had a crazy DJ-type person who did some awesome stuff. haha. It was good times.

Saturday:
9:00am - After an awesome night's sleep at my nans Me and Laura got droped off to watch Abandon (band from our church) play at the prayer service before the opening of the general session. They were awesome as usual! :)

Desperation Band did all the worship for Saturday morning too. We heard from Roseavelt Hunter who is this cool speaker who makes me laugh sooo much. He was at YC before. There was also this comedian guy who spoke and did some crazy shadow puppet thing (It was actually RIDICULOUS). Soooo,m funny. I havn't laughed that hard in a long time. haha.

All day Friday and Saturday the YC people kept saying about how we had the Newsboys to look forward to, but they never mentioned Starfield. Which kind of got me worried. I was afraid they wouldn't come! But sure enough, at the night time session on Saturday, they were there, and I sat with people Tim, Michelle, laura and some other people and most of us went jumping when they came out. I was right next to the stage, yelling the wordds at the top of my lungs. :) It was such an amazing moment. Something about Starfield just puts me in that place where I feel sooo happy and I can get so close to God, unlike I can with anyother band. ahhh, they're sooo great. I had my lyrics of I'se the By'... but they never asked people to come up who knew the words. I had all the verses typed out on paper for them and everything! (Okay, I'm not nuts, but every show I've seen (which is SEVEN!) They ask one of the fans to come up on stage and help them with the words, because they don't know them all, and I knew they were going to do it, so I brought them with me!) I'm just a die-hard fan! Anyway, despite not going up on stage... I had an awesome time.

10:30pm - we had late night worship with the Newsboys, they put off a concert for us, I was suprised that was the only thing they did at YC, but they're a HUGE name, and it was a big thing for YC newfoundland to have them there. I'm not that big of a fan, but whatever, they were fun.

Sunday:
9:30am - Prayer service. Before it started, Starfield was there setting up their store, and I went over there with my camera in one hand, wallet (to but a shirt) and my CD in the other, all ready to get everything I wanted... a shirt, picture and and autograph! But they wouldn't let us. Oh well!

10:30am - The rest of Sunday was awesome with Tree 63 and Starfield leading worship all the time. We were on NTV which was cool, but it was annoying how staged it was. Oh well, I guess it was cool to get it across to around 1 million people (apparently!).
(I';m getting lazy now in case you havn't noticed.)

Anyway, our church decided to stay for one more night because we didn't want to go home in the night, so Laura and I decided to stay at the Corner Brook Temple for the last night where we hung out with people, walked to Tim Hortons, and had a horrible night's sleep on the hard floor with no pillow and no sleeping bag. Oh yes It was the worst night sleep ever known.

Monday:
8:00am - on the road again back home. I was turned around talking to Laura and Jeanette for an hour and a half until Deer Lake, then Tim came and sat by me for most of the rest of the ride. We did SuDoKu's and chatted it up. We ended up getting home at aroung 5:00pm because of traffic (a car flipped over behind us so we stopped to see if everyone is okay.

Anyway, it was an awesome weekend in all, and I can't wait until October 5-7th at Mile one Center. AND HILLSONG UNITED JUNE 5TH!!! Oh baby!

Band and Songsters soon, so talk to you all later!

Leave a COMMENT please!!! (If you made it through the whole thing! haha...

Later Gator!
