War and Peace Work and Vacation
I've been trying to work out details, but I'm pretty sure that they are just about finalized. I'm actually taking a vacation! While this might not been incredible news to some of you, it is a big deal for me and Kristina. It has been well over 2 years since we took a full vacation and over 1 year since we took some time off for just ourselves on an extended weekend trip. You know what we've been through the past two and a half years and we need this time off in a major way.
We will be spending time with Tim and Heather Hatch in St. Louis between Sept. 16 and 26. We probably will be taking a drive to Indiana at some point during that 10 days. So if you have some time available during that window of dates, let us know.
Please pray for us during the time leading up to the trip. With my and Kristina's responsibilities at work, we will require lots of prep work to make this trip work. The weekend prior to this trip we are going to a wedding up the coast, then I have to go with our staff at church away for two days for the annual staff retreat. It will be a very busy time.
We also request your prayers for safety during the trip and that God will line some stuff up for us. I am attempting to "work" during part of my trip to offset some expenses. If you know of a church within an hour or so of St. Louis, I am seeking locations for presenting technical arts training seminars in the areas of sound, lighting and video.

Back in the saddle
If you can't tell, I go through blogging spurts. Tonight, I'm motivated mainly from boredom. I'm mixing again at B.B. King's at Universal City Walk for Eating Alice. Had to be here for a disasterish sound check at 5. They don't go on until 8:30 or 9ish. Now I sit here at Tony Roma's killing time.

A legend dies
The general public might not know who he is, but Robert Moog died today at the age of 71. For those that know me well, know that I love me some music technology. Bob was father of the modern synthesizer and broke out into the public eye with Moog Rogue. He wanted people to know how to say his name, thus the Rogue. I wish I could create something that rhymes with Bowyer, but I don't want to known for anything with "voyeur" in the title.
