I'm posting now because I am replacing a blog that was meant for my amp talk blog.
Well, I just got back from YC Edmonton. It was great.
Despite doing mostly their own (unknown) songs, the young band, Leeland, did a superb job of leading worship on Sunday sessions. Hard to believe the leader is only 19. Tim Hughes was decent the couple days before but perhaps more appropriate for an older crowd. (Seriously, who brings an acoustic guitar to YOUTH conference) Actually, they were pretty good.
The skillet Concert on the first night was quite exciting. I must say that they put on a great show and I think their style has improved and is more to my liking than the album that I have from about 10 years ago. Although, they did play a couple songs from it. I just appreciate less use of the computers, and more raw guitar sounds.
Hawk Nelson wowed the crowds with the singer's brilliant all white outfit and crazy amount of charisma. This included a kazoo solo with a crowd member as well as a guitar hero guitar- guitar solo. That crowd member was also left to sing the chorus of a song all by herself- pretty brave of her considering how out of key she confidently sang.
Anyways, my sister's grad is tomorrow, and things are busy, so I gotto go.

Re Skillet: My thoughts exactly!
One of my co-workers has done a bunch of web design for Extreme Dream (including several YC web sites), and we were talking about going up to shoot photos this year. Too bad it didn't work out, because it sounds like Hawk Nelson would be a fun band to photograph.
