Apologetix concert in NC

Last Friday Apologetix (that Christian parody band) gave a concert at a Emmaus Baptist Church in Pittsboro, NC. It wasn't a very big venue, which was great because it was fun having a real 'A-list' band in a small setting, playing in the gym. We got there early and watched their sound check. I caught a few images on my camera phone. Unfortunately, my real camera recently went home to be with the Lord, and is no longer with us.

So, sorry about the questionable picture quality. They played many of my favorites, including Life Restored and All the Stalls Stink. After the show, the band was nice enough to meet the fans and sign autographs. I got to talk to them a little bit. J. Jackson, the lead singer, who is about 7 feet tall, laughed about my Chuck Norris shirt. He said one of their fans they always talk to in Pittsburg looks just like Chuck Norris, and they always just refer to him as Chuck. But I digress..

I brought my Fender Strat pick guard for them to sign. They kind of laughed and asked if the guitar was too heavy to carry or something. I said that I just didn't want to carry the whole thing in, so I brought the guard. They happily obliged and autographed it with a sharpie, and one of them wrote Romans 10:9, which in case you're wondering, is probably the most often-quoted verse. It goes like this:

"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

All in all, a great show and a cool bunch of guys. I can't wait for their next show!
