My Weekend

I am quite appalled by my lack of posting and I really must apologize. Life has been so very hectic and busy. I found a  new job, as a jeweller, and I'm loving every moment of it. It's so fun getting to polish and sell diamonds all day.
The best thing that happened though, was YC on the weekend!! Anyone who knows me, knows that this is one of the most important three days of my life. For all you people who don't know, YC is a giant youth conference that sweeps across Canada in May of every year. I've hit YC for the past six years and every year, it's totally amazing. They bring some of the best Christian bands out there, they bring comedians, and some absolutely incredible speakers. It's a weekend where you get back on the same page with God, have some amazing worship time, and rock out to bands and basically have a total blast.
This year my two all time favourite bands were there. Thousand Foot Krutch (yes, it's spelt with a K) and RED. Both bands played a really wicked show (like always) and the only down side was the fact that they didn't play long enough.
Every year, on the Friday evening when everything starts, they make a REALLY HUGE deal of the beginning of the weekend. There is 16,000 kids that attend and we all gather in the Rexall arena in Edmonton. There are fireworks INSIDE, and music, and lights, and glow sticks, and people screaming, and hands in the air, and so much energy it feels like the place is going to burst. Seriously, this is SOOO flippin' cool. This year, the song they chose to start the whole thing off was the new Owl City song off his new EP "Shooting Star". Last time they played a song by a band like that, they brought them to play live the next year. I hope that because they opened with an Owl City song, that it means they're going to bring him next year. Seeing Owl City live is one of the top thing on my list of "Things to Do Before I Die".  I think he would be amazing to see live. Who wouldn't love that?
You can go watch the YC KICKOFF on Youtube. You should totally check it out. If you love Owl City, then you'll want to most definitely want to see this. And I just think it's so cool regardless of who plays. I wish I could have all my friends come, unfortunately almost all my friends live a loooong distance away. Oh well, maybe someday.
I need to cut this short today. I work here in an hour so I need to go get ready. have a great day.
