The Broken Radio Paradigm Part 3 (Not really)

Due to being away from my laptop all weekend and then having to suddenly go into work today I have had no time to type. I also work a ton the next few days but will try and type stuff as soon as possible. this is my formal apology for not having finished this story days ago as initially intended and also official oath that my task of finishing my story will be completed as soon as I get more than ten minutes of free time.

The Broken Radio Paradigm Part 2

Looks like this will most definitely be split in three parts. Possibly even four. For now you have the events of my Saturday to entertain and enthrall you... or bore you to tears.... whichever floats your goat.

Part 2

Where were we?.. Oh yes. I had finished up with Friday as being everything Rebecca Black promised it would be. On to Saturday now.

That night the youth had decided to start the movie Inception up at around 1:00 at night so Saturday morning no one wanted to wake, But awake we did as we had to leave the house we were staying at around 10:30am. In my car I had to actually drive youth this time which wasn't too bad but nonetheless uncomfortable. We got to the venue and it was already packed. I split from my group ASAP so I could go see Aaron Gillespie play his solo act. This, by the way, was amazing. Not only was he playing his solo act, but his current band The Almost was scheduled to play later, and his former band UnderOath was there as well. For those who are die-hard Almost fans this concert represented a huge event in music. While underoath were playing Aaron was visibly standing back-stage and I honestly thought he would join his old band for a few tunes, but alas he did not. For those who don't know why I love Gillespie I will post a link to a video he has called True meaning of being a Christian. All three Gillespie related groups were fantastic, but Gungor stole the show. If you don't know who Gungor is then seriously go look them up right now as they are a fantastic praise and worship band from Denver itself that also delves into some amazing ambiance and folk type stuff. They played with a Glockenspiel and a Cello which added so much to their live sound. 

Switchfoot was the headliner. I have been a fan since their sophomore release (two albums before anyone else even knew they existed). I have seen them before and was just as impressed with their new live show as I was three years ago. Despite many of their songs being much to mainstream for my taste their first three Indie records and their most recent two indie records should have a definite place on ones shelf of amazing rock music. 

I also go to see my long lost brother as he resides in Fort Collins currently so that was another plus to this weekend. I honestly could write show reviews for several of the acts of the concert, and could write album review for most of the act's entire discographies but I have found that most people get irked when I ramble about my love for music too much so I will simply end with saying that most of the acts seen at Heavenfest were quite superb.

After it ended we returned to the house and immediately the high-school guys and girls decided to, for lack of better term, "hit on" each other as loud as possible, but I came armed for battle this time. My brother has this weird knack for always having packs of ear plugs with him wherever and whenever, so I got a pair before he left the concert to go home. So with silence in my ears, joy in my life from the past two days, and hope in my soul for the next day I fell asleep.
