... just though i'd like to let this out as i've been so ready fro this for a while now.


Skillet's coming to play at a place not half a mile from my house!!!! :D woo!!! and its so awesome cause so many musicians are in camarillo and theres like no real places to play... cause camarillo sucks... but it will rule when skillet comes :)(or rather when God is ushered in through skillet)




don't mind me, just changing the subject title. -unshakeable.

I have seen Skillet at Harvest church in Riverside like 4 times. They're awesome! They're playing there on Feb.8th I think. I'm defietly going.

I've seen skillet in riverside once....don't think I'll be making it to the Feb. 8th show though. ;)

lol...yeah, it is a bit far for you robyn. ;)

yeah, i have seen them at day7 like 4 or 5 times...

so hey, maybe i'll see you there...or maybe i have and just haven't realized it [been there for other bands besides skillet].

Harvest is quite possibably the WORST place I've seen them play at...

CJ

yeah...it isn't the best place. but i still go to support them [and it's free].

Hey now watch who's church your criticizing....lol That's my church. It's got it's quirks as far as a venue. However I would never call it the worst. Tho getting in line is not amusing there. I'll go 3 or 4 hours early if I have to. And believe me I know what happens. I've seen Skillet everytime they have played there. And they rock reguardless of how unpleasant the lining up process is.

I'd much rather see them at Harvest than Calvary in Hesperia. ::)

So... yeah. I'll be there. ;)

I stand by my comment but I will withold my reasoning since there are people here who attend there. I also don't care much for that church itself, but again, same comment.

CJ

So... yeah. I'll be there. ;)


LOL!!! ;D

Yeah, maybe Harvest isn't the best venue to see a band at........but that is because it isn't just a concert, it is an outreach/Bible study. I'd rather see Skillet at a "real" concert, but if Skillet is going to play at a church then Harvest is the one I prefer.

Woo Hoo! I can hardly wait to see them again. ;D ;D ;D

looking forward to seeing you again Chrish, Ember and Skilletosis! :)

I liked the show at bakersfield the best out there. No seats, you could stand and watch or you could dance around. however... that pink church kinda made me nervous....

CJ

yeah, that was a cool show.

it was funny, we were driving around looking for the church - and yup, the first thing we noticed is the color. but hey, it turned out to be a pretty cool place. :)

it stinks though because they arent showing the whole concert... on the internet... they only show the message and one song by skillet at the end

yeah, they don't show the whole concert online anymore... *shrugs* not sure why.

yeah, they don't show the whole concert online anymore... *shrugs* not sure why.


How sad. :-

I'd much rather see them at Harvest than Calvary in Hesperia. ::)

So... yeah. I'll be there. ;)

She's right. Calvary in Hesperia sucks. That's really all that can be said for it.

yeah, it is kinda of a bummer. and they don't really show much on their t.v. show either...i dunno what's up.

why does calvary chapel hesperia suck? the youth pastor is nice [sure his sermons are a bit simple...but hey, maybe it's what some people need. *shrugs*]. and bands play there longer than they do at harvest....

Actually I really enjoyed the concert at Calvary Chapel High Desert. I used to attend there about 6 years ago and it was nice to see the youth pastor speak. I didn't get to before. By the way are any of you planning on the Palm Desert show? I was gonna maybe try and ditch the family and go just by myself. I need info about the venue cuz I don't know if I can take my youngest.

Both times I've been there they've been really pissy with me about walking around and taking pictures. Not just authoritative, but kind of rude.

i remember that :/ ....

see yall there!!! :)

yeah...for some reason they want everyone in the pews...not leaving them. but ya know, i find harvest to not always be the nicest about stuff like that either...as long as you take pics from where you are seated...most calvary churches are happy.

skilletosis - i want to go to the palm desert one...but, again, no info. and i'm not sure where i would even start looking since no venue name or contact is listed....

Both times I've been at Harvest they've been really easy going with me about getting in front of the pews and running back and forth.

I'm hoping my hubby will get home in time from work for me to just hop in the car and buz out there in time for the show. But I may get there like just before doors open. So I may have to count on meeting you all there in line. If so it will be just me.
I'm hoping that it will be a more of a concerty type show.
Only thing is traffic may be to bad for me to try and get there in time.... we'll see...

oh cool.

Hey, anyone heard that Skillet is going to be in Camarillo, Ca. on 2-13-04? There is only 500 tickets available and they will sell out for sure. If you want to go....I have tickets....let me know...or If you need more info.

i'm planning on going to the show. i got the # to call for tickets. do you think it is ok to wait and get the tickets after the new year? or are tickets selling good now that i should look into getting them now... ?

hope to see ya there. :)

oh, good to know. i'm still trying to decide on whether i should go to that one (i have family there) or the one in visalia (which is closer). good to know there are so few tickets. :) time to starting deciding!

Yeah I'd like to say that I live in Riverside... Ill be there on the 8th. It will be my 5th or 6th time there for Skillet. I saw them once in Corona and It was a great show there were even pits. The difference was that it was outside and more for teens so it was a blast. When I see them at Harvest I think they know that older people are there so they tone it down a bit. Eitherway I love seeing Skillet Live. I'll probably be there about 12:00pm. So see ya there!

Hey now I resemble that remark. lololol I'll give any of you teens a run for you money in a pit... Harvest doesn't tone it down for the "older" people..... I live 5 minutes from Harvest so hey nieghbor!!!!

Actually, Harvest has asked the band to tone down several aspects of their 'performance/appearance'. So yeah... things are definitely a little different when they play Harvest. But I like the setup okay. No complaints.

That's odd. What is there to tone down? I didn't see a whole lotta difference between playing at Harvest and Calvary Chapel High Desert. In fact at Magic Mountain the only differences I thought were lighting, set length, and John preaching. But the preaching part I would figure was just due to time restraints. One thing I wish they would do at Harvest is have the lights set up. Well that and more speakers, ya know cuz I like it LOUD..... lol But there's a difference between a concert and a Sunday night musical guest. Either way I love it....

Last time I was at Harvest, they played mostly worship music, which was ok cause we were in the mood for it. What I didn't like is that we had to stay in our seats (which were so tight together we couldn't even raise our hands). We tried to get in the isle twice and they pushed us back in. Plus, I don't like their preacher or a majority of the pastors there. He is a bit... off.... and the others have such an unwilling/unaccepting heart. They all think they are right and everyone else is wrong. Like putting yourself on a petastool above everyone else.

CJ

Terra that's really unfortunate. I've never been forced to my seat when getting up to take pictures there. But ya know you can't stay up there for a long time. And the seats are only as tight as people will allow themselves to squish in. When they ask people to make room for more (which they do at every Sunday night service) I wont scoot over unless there's plenty of space for me to be comfortable. I refuse to squish. In the 10 years I've gone to Harvest I've never felt unwelcomed. It's one of the most laid back accepting churchs' there is. You can go in jeans and a t-shirt or dressed to the nines and nobody cares. And if you think it's because you wear make up and a wild hair style think again. It doesn't matter if you are at a church or in a mall people will do a double take. Even John has said in interviews that you will get looked at when walking around looking like a rock star. But that's a choice we all make when we choose to dress in the way that we do. Man we used to have a bass player in the worship band with purple hair. And with that are you the dude I saw there with the make up and the feather hanging in your hair a couple of years ago? As far as the pastor goes. I've seen most of them speak and can tell you that they stick with the word. They don't go off on any extrabiblical ideas. And they don't water down the word. Greg is a great bible teacher and awesome evangelist. Steve's a hyper nut. The Sunday night services are more of an evangelistic outreach than a bible study series. Of course they preach the word but I'm sure you understand the difference.

I would say that your experience there was very unordinary. As a long time member of Harvest I'm extending a personal invitation to come to my church again and give it another try.

So anyhow I was wondering if you all were thinking bout if you had to choose between the Palm Desert show and the Escondido which one would you go to. It might be easier for me to go to Escondido. Gonna have to play it by ear.

Well from where I live (by RCC) to the heart of Palm desert it's about 75 miles for Escondido it's 72 so not any big deal there. In Palm it says it's to be announced where it will be Escondido it says c28 I've never been to either so the decideing factor would be if it's a concert or if it's just a guest band at the church. I'd rather go to the one with a concert. :)

lax

I need to look in to it more but that C28 is a store in a mall. It may be alot easier for me to make it to that one. We'll see what happens.

That's odd. What is there to tone down? I didn't see a whole lotta difference between playing at Harvest and Calvary Chapel High Desert.Well.. remember the invincible clothing era? Yeah... that was about the time Skillet was invited to do Day7 for the first time. But it was conditional: Go buy some new clothes.

The band thought that was kinda stinky. :P I think things have probably changed a little since then. As far as I can tell, though, it's the band's style that has changed. Not Harvest's picky-ness.

How funny. I didn't really notice that. But then again on the invinsible tour I got stuck on the wrong side of the church and the lights were down. So I really didn't notice. Also I grew up in the leather and spandex age so you really got to be outlandish to get me to notice. I sort of miss the invinsible clothes. Oh well times change, styles change. Can't wait to see you there.

tosis, I didn't know you went to Harvest. :) I've been going for about two years now. Skillet is playing at the Harvest high school camp, so I'll probably be seeing them up there (camp is the 6-8th) I hope you guys down the mountian have a kickin' blessed time at day 7. :) I hope i get to make the palm desert one too, but I've really been wanting to see the c28 in escondido. I guess we'll see. :)

ok, i have been to the escondito event [saw rock and roll worship circus there - beautiful glow tour].

lights: not the best

location: outside the escondito mall, on grass.

admission: free

band signing?: yes, in front of the c28 store in the mall [at least, that is how it was when i was there.]

will john preach?: probably not. the guy who puts it on gave a short sermon last time. who knows though, maybe he'll hand the mic to john. we'll have to wait and see.
--

one thing that is really cool about it is the fact that it is outside, in the middle of the mall, so people shopping can hear the music and come check 'em out.

when i was there, a Dad was there with a friend and his daughter [maybe...8 or 9?] and the daughter bought a pic and got it signed by rrwc. her dad was asking me about rrwc and he had shopping bags with him. he was surprised at how nice rrwc was to his daughter - you could tell he was impressed. and it was obvious they were there to shop - but got an extra bonus that night.

so it is really more of an outreach. which is exciting...more exposure for the bands. [though, if i remember correctly, the bands cannot sell their cds. people have to get them at the c28 store. which is stinky because it takes away buisness for the bands...]

yeah, that's the basic info. :) and if i remember correctly, it ended pretty early....9, maybe? something like that. but the mall stays open for c28 - so that's cool.
--

i hope more info comes about the palm desert one.

I just remembered that the escondido event is on valentine's day..that's the same one that Bleach and Number One Gun are playing at. A couple friends (Heather and Vickie...Tracey you know them) are going and they're insisting that I do too. So if all goes well I'll get to see Skillet at least three times in the same month. Yay!

really?? well, at least you'll get 3 skillet shows. ;) [tell heathir and vickie i say hi. if you tell heathir there was a skillet concert the same day, i'm sure she'll understand why i'm not there. lol. ]

gonna for sure be at day 7. but tracy after your post - i'm so gonna go to that skillet c28 escondido concert - gonna ask for that day off of work. that is gonna rock.

cool. i look forward to seeing you there. ;)

i'm leaning more & more towards going to the concert in Camarillo. :) i have family near there that i can stay with afterward so i wouldn't have to drive back to Sac. (that would kill me).

Mike, why can't you live in SoCal with all the other cool people. :) lol. Tracey Bleach and skillet will be at the same show at C28. Isn't that wild? It's the Bleachness and the Skilletness! lol. I'm just glad that they're coming back to califo. It seems like it's been foreverish.

Mike, why can't you live in SoCal with all the other cool people. :) lol.

'cause i gotta be me, yaknow? :) besides, if all of the cool folks were down there, the people up here would be lacking. ;)

Yes.....come to Camarillo.... :D ;)

I'm quite excited about the show. I'll be attending the Harvest show as well.

True, true. You're so giving of yourself. ;D Garth, tosis, Tracey, looking forward to seeing you guys.

Ya know the Escondido thing sounds really cool. I wouldn't have to worry about a babysitter. That would work out much better for me than Palm Desert. By the description it sounds like a place to spead out a blanket. Am I right? I think I need more info bout when it starts and what time we should get there.

Yes.....come to Camarillo.... :D ;)

I'm quite excited about the show. I'll be attending the Harvest show as well.


i think i will. :) plans are coming together. my aunt said i could crash on her couch after the show so i won't have to drive all night. & since it's a friday either i won't have class or i can ditch that one day. :P

i look forward to seeing you too Tiff! :) so wait, skillet and bleach will be playing at the same show? well then, no problem there. :)

rachel - yeah, you're right. if you want to spread out a blanket, you can. though i'm sure people will be pretty close together during the set.

but i saw some people will blankets off to the side when i saw RRWC.

michael - cool! i'll see you there then. :)

garth - i'll see you at camarillo and harvest. :)

I have seen skillet at other places, but I like going to Day 7 because it's a more intimate setting. I mean, they come out and talk to us after the show and there's not a million people there to get past. The line does suck, but once you're in, it's worth it. And Hey, a true fan doesn't care where they play, they're just happy to see them.

yeah, the line before is the worst part.

So who else is going to the concert in February? ???

I'm not going to that one, but I'm going to the one at Day 7 church in Riverside. It's only like a week after that one and it's free.

Ah yes, the Harvest show may be free, but at Harvest Skillet does not play a full set, nor does John preach, and....there's no pit! :)

yeah, it's more like "skillet playing a few songs" vs. a skillet concert. but hey, if it weren't for day 7, they wouldn't have come to cali as many times. so there is a plus for that.

I don't needf a pit!:) ;) That's the only way I ever see them so it works for me.

I beg to differ...Skillet loves California. If they didn't go to Day 7, they would be here anyway because......California loves Skillet and they know that. Some of their "BEST" fans live in Cali

Hey, anyone heard that Skillet is going to be in Camarillo, Ca. on 2-13-04? There is only 500 tickets available and they will sell out for sure. If you want to go....I have tickets....let me know...or If you need more info.
8)

This show is going to be Skillet, Skillet, and more Skillet...not sharing stage with any other band...so KEWL !! The sweat is gonna be flyin...wooo hooo...LOL

I beg to differ...Skillet loves California. If they didn't go to Day 7, they would be here anyway because......

yeah, i know they love cali. and yeah, they would love to come...but in order to do that, they need a venue. and day 7 opens their doors for them to come a lot, which helps make it possible. that's all i was sayin'.

and yeah, the camarillo concert is going to be awesome indeed. :)

i am totally there. :) i have a friend who's gonna go up from school that weekend & we'll go to the concert. i'll have to stay the night at my aunt's house, but she's a cool aunt so i don't mind. ;) it will totally rock.

now i just have to call a certain phone number...

I'd be callin that number soon...we are sending out letters too all of our local churches within 20 miles of the concert...once that happens...all the tickets will be gone.
I cant believe its just around the corner..call soon!!

thanks for the heads-up. :) i was planning on doing it tomorrow. it might end up being tuesday, but at least now i know there's not much room for procrastination.

Just got word that the C28 concert will NOT be in Escondido but will be in Temecula at the Promenade Mall. And of course, it is free. ;D

c28 (http://www.c28store.com/)

Click on events and the info is listed.

I love it when shows are right in my backyard! m/ So yeah, that means I will be there ... actually I will be at most the shows. I may be been MIA but I am still alive. :)

(Mods, I don't know if you guys want to think about combining all the Skillet Cali shows or not ... I think there are 4 shows in one week or just over a weeks time.)

"most the shows" huh? just not the one i'm gonna be at. :P ;)


(thanks for the suggestion. now the problem is finding all of them underneath it all)

LoL. Yeah yeah. I'm not "hard-core" anymore so I can't go to "all" of them. ;) :P

Your welcome for the suggestion, figured it would ease the confusion of the shows. :)

JUST AROUND THE CORNER GUYS...SKILLET IN CAMARILLO. THIS CONCERT IS GONNA ROCK..SKILLET AND NOTHIN BUT SKILLET. HOPE TO SEE ALOT OF PANHEADS HERE...ONLY 500 SEATS...CANT WAIT!!
I HAVE THE TICKETS...LET ME KNOW.. : )

LoL. Yeah yeah. I'm not "hard-core" anymore so I can't go to "all" of them. ;) :P

Your welcome for the suggestion, figured it would ease the confusion of the shows. :)


HEY THERE JADE...GARTHS MOM HERE..LOL LOL...HOW YA DOING? YOU COMMING TO (( OUR )) CONCERT ON THE 13TH? WOULD LOVE TO SEE YA THERE...LET ME KNOW...TC AND HAGD

Hey, I'm planning on going to the concert in Visalia and I was wondering if anyone has any info about it such as price. I called the number but I get the answering machine every time. Any help would be greatly apreciated, thanx!!!

I can't wait to see them again, it's been awhile.

HEY, IF YOU ARE GOING TO THE 2-13-04 SHOW IN CAMARILLO, YOU WILL BE ENTERED TO WIN A FREE :o
YES, FREE :o ELECTRIC GUITAR/WITH CARRY CASE SIGNED BY ALL THE MEMBERS OF SKILLET...NOW HOW COOL IS THAT? ;D
THAT IS SOOOOOOO KEWL!!! ;D

that is very cool. :) altho, i must say that if i win i have no idea what i would do with a guitar. :- i don't play. but i doubt i'll get it anyway.

either way, a free guitar is simply a bonus to a great show. ;)

Temecula is even closer to me than Escondido. cool...

Just got word that the C28 concert will NOT be in Escondido but will be in Temecula at the Promenade Mall. And of course, it is free. ;D

Hm.... itickets (http://www.itickets.com/search.html?selectName=1&sw=skillet) actually has two shows listed for the same day at both locations. One at 4pm and the other at 7pm. Sneakysneaky.

so Chrishna, are you gonna make any of the shows? *cough*Camarillo*cough* ::)

Interesting indeed Chrish, definitely new information. Two shows in one night ... that's always fun. I wonder who else is playing down in Escondido ... I don't think they would just have Skillet play ... 0_o

so Chrishna, are you gonna make any of the shows? *cough*Camarillo*cough* ::)

School starts the 26th of this month and Mr. Chrishna is still very ill so time is one of those precious commodities I seem to be lacking. :( However, I will be attending Day7 on the 8th and Visalia on the 15th. They're the closest venues to me. My plans are only tentative so anything could change. You should do the Visalia show on your way home! Provided you're driving, of course. It's right on the way! :)

You should do the Visalia show on your way home! Provided you're driving, of course. It's right on the way! :)


true, it's on the way. but it's two days after! it doesn't take that long to get home! plus, even if i stayed at my aunts house an extra day & drove to the Visalia show, i'd be dead driving all night to get back in time for monday's class. i thought about it, but it doesn't quite work logistically. :- quite a bummer tho.

Awww man. That is a bummer. :(

I'm going to the visalia show too, and it's free!!! Hey chrishna, we should meet up there. Can't wait, it's my first Skillet concert!!! ;D

If I go for sure, I'll see you there. :)

I guess I should mention, as I am relocating to SoCal in the next couple weeks, that I whatever shows you see Chrishna at... I can assure you that I won't be far from her with a camera around my neck.

Ahhhh....but there's "" NO SCHOOL """ on Monday...It's a holiday!!!! :o

I went on the C28 site last night and it had 4 or so bands listed with show time 4pm to 9pm... I may be able to sucker my mother in law for a babysitter with the "we haven't gone out for Valentines for 4 or 5 years" sob story.... Actually my in laws are great. If they don't have plans we might have an evening for ourselves...

I guess I should mention, as I am relocating to SoCal in the next couple weeks, that I whatever shows you see Chrishna at... I can assure you that I won't be far from her with a camera around my neck.


Yes, when Rachel is finally living here, she will have no choice but to come with me to Skillet shows. :)

And Mike... fam4him makes a good point.. that Monday is President's Day. YOU COULD DO IT! ;)

That's what I tried to tell him, but nooo, he thinks he still might have school. I told him if he doesn't then he has to come though!! :P

Yes, when Rachel is finally living here, she will have no choice but to come with me to Skillet shows. :)
She says that as though she's had to go to every single show without me. I've been to California many times for Skillet.

Buuut.. there have been like five shows I've attended without you. :'(

BUT you won't ever have to again.

... and that makes me really happy. ;D

It makes me really even happier.

And Mike... fam4him makes a good point.. that Monday is President's Day. YOU COULD DO IT! ;)


hmmm... i honestly don't know if i get that off. (i know, i'm lame). i should know this week tho. :) i'll wait until then before i make any firm plans. but if it is do-able, i will do. :D

Mike! If you have the day off, it's do-able! :)

But it's okay.. I know what you mean. No pressure. If you can make it, it'll be better than great to see you there. :)

it's all about my aunt. if she lets me stay an extra day & night at her house, then maybe. i also have to take some things at home into account (a little. working with jr. high at church & all). but if it can work out, it will be worked out. ;)

does anyone know anything about the green valley show? <3, Erica

green valley is my church's high school retreat. So I'm sure we couldn't get in....

Hey, has anyone been to C28 in Temecula? If so what's it like? Got any idea where the bands will play? Another thing I would like to know is what order the bands will play in. One of the bands I've never heard of. And Bleach they are good if thier having a good night.

nice to see you joined the boards again Chrish. :) i'm planning on going to all the cali shows....

the c28 concert [if it's the same as the escondito mall] will be outdoors. outside the mall, and the band will sign at the c28 store afterwards.

other bands: bleach, john reuben and grits...i think that was it.

and bleach is stoping on august 29th 04, so who knows, this may be your last chance to see them.

so yeah, i'm looking forward to seeing all you cali panheads. :)

;D I am quite excited about the Skillet shows!! Not that much longer until Skillet is here in Southern Cali.

Are you going to Day7 and the one in Visalia?

Not sure if that was directed at me or not. If it wasn't, oh well. I'm going to be at Day 7, and quite possibly the Temecula show. I'm still working out the bugs on the Visalia show. I probably won't be attending that one.
I will most definately be at the Camarillo show. Dead or alive. :)

It was you I was askin.

I'm looking forward to the concert in Temecula put on by the C-28 store there. This will be our first time to see them live!!

too bad we couldn't get J3 out to the Temecula show. we could have the old panheads moshpit.... youngins better look out.... lolol

too bad we couldn't get J3 out to the Temecula show. we could have the old panheads moshpit.... youngins better look out.... lolol


I don't understand, what is J3 ?

This will be my first time to see them live! It would be great to meet some of you. I met some other people before on the Left Behind board when the author, Jerry Jenkins let us know he would be in Anaheim. We met for a book signing and went to lunch after. It was fun.

J3 is john3:16, he's one of us older people. He's in his 40's, I'm 35. But he lives out of state, I can't remember where. he's a good guy, and it would be cool if he could come.

How funny, I used to go on the left behind boards a bit myself... But as for Temecula it's all in the Skillet live SoCal thread. Actually it sounds like alot of us will be there. One of the mods will prolly merge this thread with that one. But since I'm not a mod I can't...

Oh, Thanks, I saw your other question about where. The location of C-28 is closer to the Macy's side of the mall. If you enter and go through Macys, C-28 is just on the left as you go out into the mall. The concert will be set up in the quad in front of the Edwards theatre. Hope that helps!

oh cool, more panheads to meet up with. :)


i agree, it would be cool if john could be at the shows too. :)

hey tofu have you thought about going to the Day7 service at Harvest on the 8th?

Yeah, but we think we might just go to the C28 instead, never been to Harvest and I think I'd rather go for just a study and not a concert.

tofu alot of us will be at both. At Harvest they have a worship band do like 4 songs, a little announcement time, then Skillet will play like 5 or 6 songs then the sermon. Only thing is you have to come insanely early to get a good spot. It's my church, so consider yourself invited. If you don't make it well we will see the next week anyhow....

Just got this in an email ... they've added more bands and are starting earlier at the C28 show.

Dear Supporters and Friends,

Enclosed is our flyer of the next free C28 concert! We need your help. We need a street team to hand out flyers. Could you drop by any of the C28 stores and pick up flyers to hand out to your friends, schools, work and congregations!

In-store signing at C28 following concert.

May "The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face towards you and give you peace."
Numbers 6:24-26

Thanks for the invite! Skilletosis,I know sometime we will make it to Harvest. I remember Greg from Monday nights at Costa Mesa Calvary when he had long hair.
Thanks, Jade, for posting the C-28 notice! We have been giving out the flyers and leave them out where ever we go.
One question guys, how will we know each other?
Maybe we should have a panhead sign or section? how has this worked in the past?

...how has this worked in the past?


Not well. ;)

tofu, I met other panheads from arriving insanely early and just blabbing to everyone. plus I think we all need to post some new pics of us. I miss the Pictures of Us thread on the ph.org boards.

Not well. ;)


Uhm, I beg to differ when it comes to Cali shows. We're all usually in one big huge group in line. It's never really choreographed that way.. it just kinda happens. Probably because there are so many of us that know eachother. :)

Well, I just hope we can all meet up there. I've got at least 10 people who should be coming, friends and people from youth group. Hopefully I can use this to get a lot of them into Skillet!! :D Hope to see all who go to Visalia!! ;D

It's never really choreographed that way.. it just kinda happens.
We all just kind of... gather wherever we see the Stewarts..

that's good to know. now i know how to find y'all on the 13th. ;)

Unshakeable, Do you mean the 14th? for the C-28 Temecula?

The thirteenth? Unfortunately I don't think Chrishna and myself will be attending that show. [at least not since a couple weeks ago.] I think we're only going to be at Day7 and Visalia.

Ok, I kinda figured something like that.We will be insanely early as well as it is always crowded there on saturday anyway! this will be interesting to see!! the C-28 employees told us that they needed to get the flyers out because the mall management said they needed a good turn out " for the mall". That just cracks me up! The phrase becareful what you ask for comes to mind. They have thier motives and God has His.
It was easier from the other board because we just all met in the lobby of the hotel and knew each because we were holding the latest book.

no, i meant the 13th in Camarillo.

Rachel, i might also be attending the one in Visalia in the 15th, so maybe i'll see ya there. ;) (need to see if it'll work out...if i'm needed here at home or not)

I think you probably better be at that one, mister!

skilletosis - we do have a picture thread. maybe we should all post current pics in that thread so those who don't already know what we look like can get an idea.

lol! yeah, between my parents, sisters and cousins...we make a pretty big group. then bring all the panheads together...and we multiply quickly. :P

michael - that'd be cool if you went to the visalia show too.

rach - we'll miss you and chrish at the other shows. but at least i get to see you both at 2 of them.

drum_freak925 - that's cool that you're bringing friends to the visalia show. hope to see ya there.

and the c28 show, i heard 3 churches we're helping to put it on...if that's the case, i'm sure they'll get a large turn out.

I'm def. going to the c28 store show! I wanna go to the Harvest show, but i'm not sure if i'll make it.
I've never been to a Skillet show before, so do you guys know if they'll be giving auto's??

yeah, the only time they didn't sign autographs was when they had to leave right away and catch a flight [which won't be an issue for those 2 shows...or this round since they are driving out here].

you'll like them in concert...they do a great job. hope to see ya at the concert. :)

When Tracy says they do a 'great job' she's just being really modest on their part.

When Tracy says they do a 'great job' she's just being really modest on their part.


Yes definitely.

some words aren't good enough. :)

i'm trying to think of what to wear tomorrow...actually, we all are. that's a problem you have when you have too much clothing.

if we had, like 2 pair of jeans and 4 tops each, we'd have no problem!

i'll be at all the shows except the thursday night one. i must attend my Shakespeare class.

my mom keeps trying on different hats. it's cute.

naw, some just have harder times finding clothes than others. ;)

how about your most comfortable clothes that still look good. :) that's what i'm going for.

I think you probably better be at that one, mister!


i will be at Visalia. :) it'll be one interesting drive home, but i'll be there. ;D

THANK YOU PANHEADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just had to say thanks to all of you who signed my niece's b'day card. I even got the whole band to sign. It was a tricky mission. I basically ditched my niece and daughter in the autograph line and walked up to the front and got the band to sign. When Ben signed I asked him if he would hand the card to my neice. He said yes! So I went and got her and he gave it to her. She was caught completely off guard. It was a total surprise. Mission accomplished. THANK YOU PANHEADS!!!! you made it a success.

I tried to post a pic of the card but either I'm lame (which is a distinct possibility) or there's something up with the website. I would go with the former.

Yeah I wanted to say THANK YOU to all you panheads for signing my b’day card too. I was so not expecting that. I'm so glad I hang with such a great group of people. Man we only meet a few times a year but I always have the best time hanging with you panheads. You guys are so sweet. I read all of the nice things you guys wrote in my card and I just want to say thank you again. Oh man when Ben handed me the card I was so confused. I didn’t know what was going on. Oh yeah and I gave Ben a big hug*score one point for me*. Yeah while I was up their talking to skillet have n them sign my skillet… I was still trying to get over what just happened… and you know what I forgot to have them sign my Collide CD man. How stupid am I. Oh well, I’ll have them sign it next time. THANKS AGAIN!!! LOVE YOU GUYS. I’ll see some of you guys on the 14th. ;D

that's awesome! i'm glad the surprise was kept without being spoiled.

have a great birthday, skill-o-rama. :)

how about your most comfortable clothes that still look good. :) that's what i'm going for.


that's what i'm shooting for at the outdoor show (i've asked tracy 10,000 times where that is, but i forget now). i'm going to have so many layers on...

Yay Mike! I'm so glad you'll be there!!

The show last night was really good. [about as good as day7 can get at least.. :P] We always have the most fun before and after the show hanging with everyone. That was definitely the best part.... except of course for the bizzare stalker like staring some people were giving us....

who was giving us stalker stares? i didn't notice...lol.

glad it all worked out with the card. happy early birthday! :)

yeah, day 7 was cool. i agree though, the best part is before and after the concert. it was so good to see all of you again. :)

i don't think you guys were there yet...lol.
yes before and after are always the best!! :)
glad that the bday card surprise worked out. hope it's a good one!

i don't think you guys were there yet...lol.


ah, ok. :P

stalker stares=no bueno.

stalker stares=no bueno.
That's for sure. It was quite obnoxious not even being able to walk through the coffee shop/book store without being gawked at. Some people have no couth.

Let me guess...did y'all have your "rock-star" clothes on? People don't take bondage pants and the like very well.

Hmm.. nope. We all looked rather 'normal'. Jeans and t-shirts and jackets and mittens and scarves and ....

I think you get the idea... it was very cold. *shivers just thinking about it*

Then....what exactly were their problems?

Or are y'all asking the same question? ;)

What was the problem with these people? That's a very good question! We've been asking that ourselves for quite some time now. Being that we've been getting looks from this certain group at every show for the past two years.

I guess some people are just really freaking dumb.

*whistles*

*hears the whistle echo*

the house is empty. everyone's driving to Palm Desert. they've been on the road for about an hour.

hope the concert goes well tonight! :)

Anyone who goes, have tons of fun. I expect a report from Garthy.

yeah just about everyone is up in camarillo right now. i couldn't go bc i had school today then had to work tonight.

the palm desert show was awesome! long set! i loved it! they rocked soooooooooo HARD! m/
it was the best skillet show that i have ever seen (i say "I" bc i haven't seen as many as some ppl and it would be on the top of their list but not their top top. hopefully that makes sense :)). got to see baby alex- she is so precious. they did "angels fall down" which was just so amazing! :)

Awe no fair.. I love that song.............. ;D

YAY! SKillets in Teme today, they're ganna rock, can't wait! I need to leave early..which mean I better go get ready, lol...see ya, bye! ;D

Anyone who goes, have tons of fun. I expect a report from Garthy.


Oh man, there's no WAY I could even give anything NEAR to a complete report. It was SUCh a rocking show. Possibly the best Skillet show I've been to. You know youve been around John too long when his sense of humor starts to rub off on you. ::)

Alex is utterly adorable. :)

Methinks I'm going to get my posse together so we can catch the Visalia show.

There's so very much happening right now, that I'm not so sure if we're all going to be able to make it to tomorrow night's show.. :(

There's so very much happening right now, that I'm not so sure if we're all going to be able to make it to tomorrow night's show.. :(

:( You both would be missed. Hope you can make it. I'll be there.

We're working on it.

I like it when John said, " You guys are so freakishly loud you scare me!" and " You smell like a concert!"

Yeah, I guess we definatley caught the mall off guard.
I think the stares were people with thier brains tweeked at the sight of Christians actually havin' a rockin' good time. there was something different about last night, could it be good clean fun !! centered around God!!

^lol... that was funny! That was a wild crowd. My shoes got messed up 'cause of those moshers. >:( Other than that... it was so much fun!!! ;D

it was great seeing a full set again. and the sound was great considering the short sound check that they usually do. Ben said it usually takes a couple of hours to set up. They did it in about a half hour. You could tell that they really want it to sound good. They sounded totally better than the other bands. We had a great time despite the occasional wannabe moshers we had to set straight. It was great seeing you panheads, sorry I missed you tofu... Maybe next time...

Skillet was AWESOME in Visalia tonight!
I finally got to meet the band, and they are really cool.
I think there were about 4,000 people there, I had to sneak in to get in.

I know, it was an awesome concert in Visalia!! The only thing that dissapointed me was that we weren't in the front, but it was still so cool. And it was so funny when that guy jumped up on stage and grabbed the mike :D !! Can't wait for rach to get the pics up, she got to go up on stage! Wow, it was just so cool, my first skillet concert, and they played 13 songs too!!

I was finally able to post the b-day card that you guys signed @ harvest. Thank you again to all who singed it!!! :D

After the Camarillo show, the Visalia show was a bit of a let down. :rolleyes: My seat was going to be given away...they didn't let us bring our skillets in, which we smuggled in anyway, the crowd was terrible (they mocked Skillet and the panheads), the venue and security were lagging....and Phil (the sound guy) came up to talk with me before the show and he told me i was going to be disappointed. As they only ran the vocals through the sound system, and had trouble with the guitar amps. But thanks to Phil, everything ran as good as it possibly could have. As it wasn't loud enough, and Korey's keys overpowered John's voice at times. The only thing that didn't suck was Skillet. They still rocked, even if the sound sucked.

Needless to say, Harvest was better than Visalia, and it was closer to home. Ah well. Camarillo rocked. I'm lucky i got to go to all three.

There's so very much happening right now, that I'm not so sure if we're all going to be able to make it to tomorrow night's show.. :(

i'm glad you ened up going after all. :) it wouldn't have been the same without ya. the concert was good, don't get me wrong, but the hanging out afterwards was very fun & very cool. :D


Garth, i didn't think Visalia was all that bad. sure, the crowd took 3 or 4 songs to get moving, but they did. i didn't see anyone mocking panheads. & the sound was good (imo). i didn't notice any weird sound problems (besides Korey's keyboard difficulites). maybe that was just me tho. :rolleyes:

Needless to say, Harvest was better than Visalia, and it was closer to home.

Couldn't disagree more.

It was a great show. The after party at In-N-Out was great as well. Probably better than the show. ;)

I'm glad we went too, Mike. It was great meeting you and hanging out. Hope to do it again sometime.

Day7 better than a real show? That's dumb...




However I must say that it was very nice finally meeting Mike, and Josh too. The security guys were so easygoing with Tracy and I about getting up front and on the stage to get pictures. I know we had a great time [and we were stuck nearly in the back of the auditorium]. Guess I can't speak for everyone. I guess some people should've just stayed home.

i must say they rocked in cali. it was so cool getting to hang out with panheads and with skillet. and getting to finally see the rig! :)

day 7 was...day 7. nothing real exciting. the sound was pretty shabby, but they still put on a good set.

palm desert - skillet put out a LOT of energy. the crowd wasn't real into it. but the worship that night was amazing. angels fall down was...wow...i realized how much i missed hearing that song live.

camarillo - good rock show. the crowd got into them. [kudos to garth for the show. thanks for putting the show on.] the only thing that annoyed me was the fact that some guy that kept taking pics of the crowd. i was like, "ok...we're here to see the band...not you and your camera." lol. esp, during the worship. my eyes were closed and i would see flashes. that got me kinda mad because i wasn't worshiping so i would get on his camera. and i wasn't rocking out to get on his camera. oh well.

temecula - the BEST rock crowd. seriously. everyone was screaming the words. [crowd serving and moshing] the band went crazy. ben came real close to crowd surfing. numerous times john almost stepped on me and ben almost fell on me [he thought it was awesome. lol.]. it was fun. i was shoved into the stage a lot [i have bruses to prove it] but it was worth it. :) ya gotta be willing to rock under all circumstances. ;)

visalia - the people putting on the show were so nice to us. Skillet rocked hard but the crowd wasn't really into it. they screamed and all that but weren't rocking. there were a few spots with people moving, but overal, no. after saturday's show...it was hard to beat.

alex is so cute. and it was nice getting to talk with john, korey, lori and ben more. overal, i had a great time.

i didn't understand the whole bird wing thing at the visalia show...did you see people doing that? was it due to the cover?

i'm glad we got there when we did, otherwise we would have been in the overflow room.

all the concerts i went to were good in their own ways. you find a balance at each. so i don't even really have a favorite. i think what i enjoyed the most was being with friends. it's kinda sad that it takes a skillet show for us to get together...but hey, that's alright. at least we get together.

i wrote about what i thought here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/about_worth), and i don't really feel like repeating myself, :). so if you're extremely interested in my point of view, you can have fun reading it on my lj.

michael, it was great meeting you, btw! glad you got home safely! (him, chrishna and i had fun rocking out in the back of the church last night while tracy and rach were paparazzi-ing. even kelly danced a bit with me! she NEVER does that!) :)

Visalia was so fun. Skillet never comes to Northern California, sadly, and Visalia is about as north as they ever come. Perhaps the largely uncharted territory explains why much of the crowd identified more with a junior high youth outing than a rocking Skillet concert. Minor annoyances aside, it was a great show and wonderful to hear such a full set.

My friends, brother, and I planned to find the venue, then scout out some dinner, then stand in line. By the time we got there, the line was thick. So, we decided to suffer a bit of hunger to make sure we didn't get stuck in the overflow (which, by the way, we could plainly see while in line, giving us much ambition to avoid it). And suffer we did. John asked us to stay awhile, and after everyone was booted out we had the privilege of hanging out with John before the rig almost left without him. :cool:

From our conversation, panheads have much to look forward to. :D You'll be kept up to date with everything on the Skillet mailing list.

Well, unfortunately I don't have the time or money to go see every single show skillet does in the western half of the united states, so visalia was good enough for me. I loved it. I thought the crowd was fine. I jumped around and got into it, but I think Skillet was a little different than what most of the church goers who attended the concert thought they were going to be, so they were shocked at first. yes, i got stuck into the overflow, but i managed to sneak into the main area after a few minutes. I think it is a GOOD thing that so many people came. But hey, that's just me. I'll take what I can get.

temecula - the BEST rock crowd. seriously. everyone was screaming the words. [crowd serving and moshing] the band went crazy. ben came real close to crowd surfing. numerous times john almost stepped on me and ben almost fell on me [he thought it was awesome. lol.]. it was fun. i was shoved into the stage a lot [i have bruses to prove it] but it was worth it. :) ya gotta be willing to rock under all circumstances. ;)

I totally agree..it was the BEST rock crowd, Skillet rocked!! I had an awesome time, even though my feet were hurting, lol, but it was so worth it!!

so visalia was good enough for me. I loved it.
Wish we could've seen you there!

Day7 better than a real show? That's dumb...


Precisely. I'm not a big fan of Harvest shows. However Skillet rocked, reguardless of the venue. Major props to Phil for pulling together the sound. \m/ he rocks.

You missed it.

What I was saying is that the notion that Day7 was better, or even had the potential to be better, than last night's show, is insanely dumber than dumb.

Dumber than Bugs Bunny in a dress.

rach - be nice.

Oh heh, sorry I missed you also, My son and I were safely standing on the grass on the right side of the stage and got a good view. We got there early about 1pm and just stayed in the same spot till it was over. Our feet were dead dispite bringing chairs, and were yelled our selves horse! Where were you at we probably saw each other and did'nt know it.

rach - be nice.
*twitches at Tracy*

it's that eye thing, isn't it? :D

You missed it.

Dumber than Bugs Bunny in a dress.

No, i knew exactly what you were saying, but I think you missed it. I used what you said to support my thought on the concert.

But none of this matters anyhow. No one's opinion is more valid than another. No matter how large your ego is.

You're right. An opinion is an opinion no matter who it belongs to. My insanely large ego allows me to admit that.

hey, um, onto lighter notes...

i forgot to mention this in my journal...but these were the first set of skillet concerts where i didn't "freak out" just to "freak out." it actually became an act of worship, as strange as that may sound. the account of David dancing before the ark of the covenant kept coming to mind..."i'll become even more vile/undignified than this." and it was powerful. so it became so much more than me flailing around to have fun, but to give glory to God for who He is. i prayed so much during their sets...it was very, very amazing. every night was a different prayer focus. these became more than just times of "concert rock out for fun." there was warfare involved, spiritual in nature.

heh, that probably sounds quite weird.

it sounds awesome, i think.

theinvaded - wish we could have gotten to meet ya.


ditto. it would've been cool to hang out with yet another panhead. plus, a guy. :wink: not that i'm complaining, but two shows i went to this weekend were seriously lacking in the male panhead department.

hey tofu we were all over the place. In a different spot for each band. when Skillet played we were right in the middle of it all. I'm sure we did see each other without even knowing it. I walked by where you were several times.

The Panhead department PERIOD is generally lacking in males.. haven't you noticed?

no i havent...course i wouldnt, and if i did, it wouldnt make me sad ;)

Why not northern cal!!!??? *cries*.... who cares as long as i can go to Reno

Skillet in Camarillo rocked! The newspaper press was there, Skillet's manager was there, and the hard core panheads were there too. The sound system was the best money could buy and Skillet was CRANKED TO ELEVEN (borrowed that from Audio A) LOL. Skillet rocked like never before. The first 7 rows (7...thats a nice number) were jumping up and down. It was a sight to behold! They even had a local Christian radio station come out to MC the show. To top the evening...Blaze Promotions gave away a NEW electric guitar signed by SKILLET (bag included).
I am with Blaze Promotions (aka Garths mom) woo hoo. Garth got to go on stage and pull the winners name. So so cool. The next day, we had breakfast with skillet at a bed and breakfast. John was eating the homemade chocolate chip pancakes and said, "These are so good, I think Im gonna cry". Baby Alex is a sweetie! (of course you already know that) DUH!!
I looked at her and said, "Baby John Cooper". She got happy, shook her head yes and said "Poopah Poohah". We all laughed at that. Anyway, in closing, if you were at this show, I hope you had a good time. We did our best. It was our first concert we put together. Hoping Skillet will be back in Camarillo this summer. Take care and God Bless You All !!!

hey fam4him, thanks for putting the show together and all the effort that went into it.

:( Hey Panheads, soooooo sorry about the photographers in your face at the Camarillo concert. I wasnt aware that was happening since I was in the back selling merchandise. Im sure the photographers werent trying to make anyone feel uncompfortable. They just had never in their lives seen so many kids worshiping God from a Hard Rock Christian. They were really blown away by all you Panheads.
We learned alot (Blaze Promotions) from this first concert. We surely wont let it happen again to you all !!! God Bless You All..

hey fam4him - thanks for putting the concert on and i'm glad to hear you all had fun.

and thanks for understanding about the camera. i wouldn't care if it were a few times...but it wasn't, and that's when it got annoying. esp. since it looked like they took more pics of the crowd than the band. ah well, hope they got some good pics.

and for being your first concert, it went really well and you picked a great band to kick it all off with. :cool:

Wow. That sounds like an EXCELLENT concert. I know Garth told me she had fun. Wish I could make it out there...meet everyone.

Tracy stole my thunder. :) that's what i was gonna say.

& Rachel, yes i have noticed. i've been working on fixing that. ;)

i know that the 2-13-04 show was crazy rocking, what was crazy about the drawings was that one of my classmates won the drawings twice (there were, if memory serves right, 4 drawings, one was for the guitar)she got the guitar too and it's crazy cause that was such a blessing for her.

also, thanx "fam4him" for hosting the concert. *cough* MOSHING!!! *cough*

;D Im soooo glad that you enjoyed the show even though there was no MOSHING...cough cough...LOL..I am soooo happy that Annaie won that guitar. She is such a wonderful girl!! Hope to bring Skillet back in July..hope you will be there too! Skillet rocked Camarillo like never before! Um...who are you? LOL This is Kristinas mom aka...fam4him...aka BLAZE PROMOTIONS...LOL

Um...who are you? LOL This is Kristinas mom aka...fam4him...aka BLAZE PROMOTIONS...LOL

well, "Kristinas mom", this is Kristina's boyfriend, you may have heard of me. i've certainly heard lots about you ;D

that'd rock like crazy to bring skillet back to camarillo and yes the moshing... well, we had fun nonetheless-headbanging and (even though i'm typicially not a fan of it myself,) jumping.

I hope they come back soon. There's no listings for So Cal on their site or Itickets.

they got the SSR tour next weekend in Anaheim. I think LA is the night before but I'm not sure cuz we planned for Anaheim.

Well they are a few months away but on itickets there are these, which I am sure you prolly already knew about, lol;

oh good, so they are coming back.

we can't see them at SSR this time around...no moola, and other commitments. so it's good to know they'll be back around! :afro:

Is anyone gonna be at the show in hollywood tomorrow? I am and I'm curious if there's gonna be more of us. Can't wait this is gonna rock!!

i know that Ember (http://www.panheads.org/boards/member.php?u=137) is going (which means that as many others in 'the gang' will probably be there as well).

have a blast Josh! ;D you're gonna have to tell me all about it.

Rachel & I are going very last minute. Like, VERY. It'll be fun. :)

oh wow, last minute indeed. you going to the anaheim one?

have loads and loads of fun. :) (which you will.)

We only went to the Hollywood show because SSR tickets aren't so cheap and Skillet's set wasn't so long.. but we DID have a lot of fun. Not many 'panheads' were there. We saw Garth and Josh in the crowd but that's it. It was definitely a 12 Stones audience. Which was fine.. I thought they did good. I'm really looking forward to a Skillet concert, though. F'sho.

I missed you at the Anahiem show. :( But you are right, their tickets aren't cheep, lol! The crowd in Anahiem seemed to be a 12stones crowd too, lol!

sorry ember, we told you rach and crish would be there...ugh.

And we thought Ember was going to be at the Hollywood show. Confusion!

uh, yeah...sorry for the miscommunication. :P

but hey, glad you were able to split up and show SoCal panhead support. :)

Yeah, it seemed to mean a lot to them to see some familiar faces.

Although mine isn't familiar yet but I hope to change that soon, expecially when I get my liscence. So where was everyone at the concert? I didn't really see much of anyone i knew. oh u know what was funny too, my youth pastor was the one who started the mosh pit!

I saw you in line before the show, Josh. We were sitting on the far right of the stage on those stools for most of the night. When Skillet took the stage, I went up and wedged myself between a stack of speakers and the stage right in front of Ben. Remember when he hopped off the stage and onto the stack of speakers to do some fancy-schmancy guitar player thing? I was right there beneath him and IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE. Seriously. He just hopped right over my head and I thought he was gonna kill me. I made it, though. The stunt was completed without incident. ;)

Ok, I know where that was. I was dead center with about 2 people in front of me. I was able to mingle through the mosh pit to get right to the front. That was a cool stunt that ben did, I wish I could've seen it up closer, and ur face too ;D .

I had a ticket for the Anaheim show but due to curcumstances beyond my control I couldn't go. For more info I will post in the A Home of Our Own thread. It will be worth reading as our moving experience was hairy to say the least......

glad you lived to tell the story Chrish. ;)

skilletosis - i am sorry your moving experience ended up being more crazy then planned and you couldn't make the show.

Yeah, it seemed to mean a lot to them to see some familiar faces.

yeah, i bet.

that is definitely a Panhead Story for the Ages if i ever heard one. ;) i'm glad you lived through it Chrish, i'm sure it made things all the more awesome for you. :) plus, i don't think i could deal with Rachel moping about everywhere if you didn't. ;)

Ha.. ha.. ha.

good thing you weren't around the other Rachel, cuz I had a few good mope moments even with the craziness of the move...

yes good thing, but i think even still i'd be able to stand you over Firey. ;) she has this very tenacious quality about her.

we don't call it the firey wrath for nothing....lol

Aw. This is me loving!!

I saw 2 dates for it Bakersfield and Victorville. Anyone got more info or anyone going?

If I'm back home at that time and and can make it, I could see myself going to the one in Victorville. But, really, why are they performing in two of the most unknown, dead-zone places in California?

I may go to the Bakersfield one... Its just a free concert though so I'm not uber excited... Its 8 dollars to get into the fair and the concerts are free for anyone who payed to enter.

I actually like that area though cause its right in the middle between central and southern CA... I wouldn't have to go all the way down to LA or wherever :D So now its like.. an hour drive instead of a 3 hour drive :P

It's an hour away from me to Bakersfield and 45 min to Victorville. I'm trying to convince my dad to take me to both! ANd they aren't the most deadzone places...

yes they are

i am going to the 29th for sure. and the 28th is looking good that i'll be there as well.

yes they are

Na, now where I live.....that is a deadzone. I live smack in the middle of going from Bakersfield to Hesparia.


YAY! I'm missing colorguard practice for the Bakersfiels show! I am going to have fun!

ANd they aren't the most deadzone places...

For someone that's from the Inland Empire, it is. ;)

Okay, yeah, it's deadzone compared to there! :)

Any details on the Victorville Show. I need it.

Call the number... or you could try looking up the church's website with google (if they have one).

go to the website i listed above. it's the event putting on the concert. just found out that it starts at 5pm (probably for the BMX bikers to do their stuff before the rock show).

i'm hoping to give the venue a call this weekend for more info.

Elisabeth and I will be at both shows.

I'm set for the 29th

yay! panhead party time. :afro:

Victorville is no dead zone my friend. It has grown extremely fast in the last 10 years. There's about 300,000 people in the high desert area. High Desert Church if it's the one I'm thinking of is huge. In fact for those who are going there will be 3 times the seating than Calvary Chapel of the High Desert which is where Skillet has played many times in the past.

I just checked - Victorville does have a good-sized population these days (~91,000 according to Wikipedia). So, you got me on that one. ;) I guess my assumptions about the region being a "dead zone" come from my childhood days in the '80s, when the communties really were spread out more and thus had far fewer people - no doubt the result of all those people from Orange and L.A. counties moving east. ::]

Come to think of it, my "home back home" (Beaumont) is much the same way - formerly a one-horse town on the way out to Palm Springs, now being rapidly built up.

But, enough of that. I just wish I was back home to see them in concert! Gah!

Question is why not play L.A or the OC.

i wonder that too... maybe when Comatose comes out they'll do more LA (or OC) shows. :)

thanks for the heads up about the church Rachel. i didn't know much about it.

I'm stoked bout the Victorville show.
