Toby Mac...Portable Sounds Tour


Okay so me and B take off on our 3 1/2 hour trek to Evansville, IN. We had a six pack...of Ale-8's, a few snacks and lots of jamming music. When we got into downtown Evansville I thought we would grab a quick bite of dinner and head off to the concert. DANG...there is nothing in Evansville or at least downtown on a Friday night. We found a Chick-Fila only to find out the business hours were 7am-3pm...huh?? Eventually we found some golden arches and then headed to the concert.

Our seats were as far back as you could get, but it was in a really cool theater called "The Centre." Did a little finagling with a lady usher and she let us sit in some very cool box seats with a great view.

Family Force Five came out first...wow...it was LOUD and crazy. FFF was a favorite of Bryan's. Following them were Building 429...they were okay. Then Thousand Foot Krutch...very jamming, very talented.

After all of the "pre-bands" Toby Mac and crew came out and blew the joint up with their sound...great energy, clever lyrics, innovative sound...Toby at times reminded me of Bono in his stature and style. Just a great concert all around. My favorite Toby Mac song...had to be Jesus Freak (old dcTalk song). He did some new stuff that really jammed...Bryan all the while was head banging, jumping around, dancing...it was awesome to watch him and of course to dance along too. He didn't even laugh at me...I don't think.

Got home about 2:30am the next morning...when we both woke up, we still had some ringing in our ears. What a great "dad and lad" weekend...looking forward to more.
