08.15.08 Headed North To Beat Bart
I’m heading North to a festival in Minnesota for the next couple days. I’m doing a very short set of music and then talking about Compassion International - all of this just before the headliners for the night. The festival doesn’t have video capabilities (to play a Compassion video) or a speaker that works with Compassion so I’m the representative/talker/guy for Compassion at the festival.
A little nervous about that. There are thousands of folks at festivals you know? Not the hundreds I’m used to. But there is also funnel cake, and this, while no help on stage, comforts me none-the-less.
I’ll have lots of downtime so I hope to make a video or two. Maybe I’ll get to interview some artists or something or the folks selling really really bad Christian t-shirts. Maybe I could chat with the uberbloggers Mercy Me. Or maybe I’ll just consume my body weight (no jokes please) in funnel cake. Better: How about a funnel cake eating contest between me and Bart of Mercy Me. I could take him. Seriously, I can down me some funnel cake. FUnnel cake is no respecter of Grammys. It cares not.
Speaking of which, Bart has a new solo CD I’ll be buying my mamma (Shh, don’t tell). She’s a big Bart fan. Go grab one for yourself.

Ok, you’ve gone and done it now...I want video proof that an actual funnelcake eating contest against Bart took place. Don’t come home without it, got that, mister?
(I’m not really a bossy person, I swear!)

What? You got one for your mom and not yourself? I ordered mine a month or two ago and got an email saying it shipped yesterday. The first one is the bizzomb, and I’m expecting great things from this one.

I got a copy of Bart’s new album about 4 weeks ago - and I’ve been enjoying it since. (No, I’m not special, just a little lucky sometimes.)
I would have to agree with Jade and demand video proof of any funnel cake eat-off which may occur. Unless it goes down like the pie-eating contest in Stand By Me. No thank you on that Shaun/Bart video.

eurphrony, I saw that movie over 20 years ago and didn’t remember that part. I just looked it up on youtube and wish I hadn’t.

Cristy, you should had realized from the context clues in my comment. I don’t feel bad at all for your regrets (not that you were trying to make me feel bad). Everyone else whose memory fails them: be warned.

DUDE - I went to their website and they have this whole flahing photos of the scheduled bands and..... you are not one of the photos!
I’m giving up on MN as my home state!

Hey - see if you can ask “remedy drive” why they sound like they are from the british isles when they call Nebraska home....

Is the FU about the FUnnel cake competition on purpose?
Just kidding.
