Starfield Loves Us.

Beautiful Newfoundland
posted: Oct 11,2006
The morning began with a 3:30 lobby call (meaning approx 2 hours sleep for each of us) and a string of early flights - which eventually brought us to Deer Lake, Newfoundland. We then were met by the best host we have had in recent memory, George, who drove us to our beautiful chalet, complete with hotub and view overlooking a brand new golf course. Hello Newfoundland... The event we were privileged to be apart of was the famous YC Newfoundland. This year, we found ourselves hanging out with our South African friends Tree63, a band called the 'Newsboys' and our new friends Desperation Band. We all packed into the Pepsi Center with 3000 crazy youth for an amazing weekend. We were sloted for the final 2 days of the weekend and when we arrived, it was evident that there were great things happening in the hearts and lives of the passionate Newfies. Newfoundland was a beautiful beautiful place to wind down the tour and has left us with memories that definitely rank at the top of our memory bank. But the memory that trumps them all was the event that capped off the weekend. We, Starfield, found ourselves live on Mtv. You know, TRL, etc.....wait...I have just been told it was Ntv. Hang on...yes, it WAS Ntv. I am being told that N stands for Newfoundland. Newfoundland TV. In all seriousness, we had the privilege to play live on Ntv as they broadcast the final hour of the event live across the province. We hope that we can find ourselves back at YC in the very near future... Gordie

They also just won 4 Covenant Awards too ("We walked away from the evening totally shocked and humbled as we won 4 of the 5 awards for Album, Group and Song of the Year as well as Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year.") . You guys ROCK.
