This place is purrr-ty. Really. Only problem is that it is in the middle of NoPlace, Washington. It supposed to be just outside George, WA. (Yes, it's real name is George, WA.) But George has a population of about 5. Try finding it, then try finding a hotel nearby was was like trying to find Nessie.

Dan at high tide. The tide ebbed and flowed all day, every day. Occasionally a squid would wash up. | ||||
 |
Marc "call me Mac" Pautz from The Benjamin Gate excitedly watches the booth while Dan goes to the General Store and Mark looks for a Superchic[k] tee-shirt for his daughter, Arielle. | ||||
 |
When "Mac" had to go to the Honey Pot (aka the portapotty), Adrienne Liesching, the lead vocalist for The Benjamin Gate would sit in for him and just admire the heck out of our material. | ||||

Our tooth and nail records booth partners. They enjoy music that is loud and... well, let's just say LOUD. Thankfully they often aimed their little CD player right at us so we could enjoy the cacophony!
(Hi ladies! and thanks for the stuff.) |

| BEST OXYMORON - The port-a-potties were contracted from a company called HoneyPots. And there was their name on each one. HoneyPot is the first thing I think of when someone says OutHouse. How about you? | |||||

Message from on high. We decided to project our powerpoint propaganda on the ceiling! tee hee. One time a message dropped off the ceiling and hit an innocent bystander. | ||||

The Main Stage
|
||||
| NICEST SURPRISE - The lead singer for the group beanbag, a hard rock skater sorta band, told the crowd that they were there for one purpose, to focus their eyes on Jesus. He told them that if they wanted to, they could turn their backs on the group and lift their hands, as long they were focused on Him. | |||||

Out-of-focus faux tattoo. In-focus ground. (Thanks Kristen!) |

 |
The best view we ever had of the distant Main stage. Here switchfoot is playing away, but you knew that. | ||||
 |

| Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer, the two women held by the Taliban ealier in the year, hold the audience captive with their escape story and brutal honesty. (They are to the left, the big screen is to the right.) | |||||

Candle Lighting on Friday night. Coincidentally, an unexplained brush fire broke out in central WA that same night. | ||||

| There was no single obvious winner of Most Tasteless Shirt this year - for sale, that is. But we did see one shirt with a cartooned young man holding up a tattered, burned shirt which read, "MY FRIENDS WENT TO HELL AND ALL THEY BROUGHT ME BACK WAS THIS CRUMMY SHIRT." That was the Winner, but I couldn't get my camera in time to take a picture. Sorry. |
