Doo doo, Doo-doo doo, pink tux to the pro-o-o-om?


Alivers! Did you make it through the rain? I did. And it really cooled everything off, didn't it? It was a beautiful day. A little rain is good.

Today was quite eventful and fun. I have a timeline for you. But before we get to that, I must give honor to our "T-shirt of the Day." In keeping with our theme from yesterday's shirt ("VIRGINITY ROCKS") I saw one today that simply said, "I didn't do it." Short, but eloquent. I giggled.

Ok, Are you ready for the timeline?

1:00: I arrive at the festival. (I promised myself I'd mention those people who direct traffic out in the field where everyone parks. Good job, parkers, good job. You wave those flags proudly. I bet you don't get thanked enough.) Anyway I arrive just in time to see some Aaron Shust at the Woods Stage. It's amazing. His voice is great, isn't it? My Savior loves, my Savior lives, my Savior's always there for me?

1:20: Catching some of The Wedding. Looks like a good time. [Later on, a woman in front of me heard that The Wedding was playing earlier, and she said, "There was a wedding here today?!" I chuckled to myself.]

2:04: The Afters are warming up at the main stage. There's a nice breeze blowing. I am getting more pumped by the second to see the Afters' show. I just spilled my bag of Oreos all in my cooler.

3:06: Taking a walk over to sit by the lake and rest for a bit. I'm listening to the distant, yet beautiful sounds of Ayiesha Woods at the Woods Stage. But then I hear the girl on the megaphone telling everyone to get out of the lake because of lightening. I start getting excited. Rain gives everyone more energy.

3:40: STORM TIME! I'm sinnnngin in the rain?. Hey, it's giving everyone a chance to check out what's in some of the cool tents set up! And the storm passes quickly. I see the sun peeking through once again. Yesss.

4:15: AFTERS! Ok, are they not amazing??!? Probably my favorite act yet. "Beautiful Love" is one of the prettiest songs ever.

6:47: I head over to the other side of the lake to see what some of the swimmers are up to. I see some pretty talented divers. I begin to think I'll bring my bathing suit tomorrow. Oh- and the sky has totally cleared up. It's absolutely beautiful.

7:01: Taking a journey around the campground, we run into friends Julie, Trent, and Tyler. They were very excited for Relient K, as well as Switchfoot on Friday. Rock on, guys. Stay in school.

7:10: Head on over to the BarlowGirl show. I think they should've casted BarlowGirl in Josie and the Pussycats. They would've done way better.

9:30: I see another T-shirt that makes me smile: "We're bringing Catholic back." Hey, that is awesome. Catholic churches are beautiful. If you ask me, Catholic never LEFT, baby.

9:31: Kutless is making everyone jump. Music gives people energy.

9:32: Since it's the third minute in a row that I've made an observation and therefore the third time in a row that I've asked my friend for the time, he not-so-nicely hints to me that perhaps I should get my own watch.

10:00: I get a funnel cake. No one can share. No one.

10:20: Perhaps I'll wear a pink tux to the prom?


Relient K rocked it out, just like all the other bands today. It was a great day, and now it's time for some great rest. I'll be back tomorrow - get your T-shirts ready, guys!

Look how amazing the weather got.

We kept saying the water looked like Ariel's dress at the end of The Little Mermaid. Just go with it.

One more thing I would probably hurt myself doing..

         
 

I don't know what they were doing, but I secretly wanted to be a part of it.

This would be fun.
 
         
 


Someone should take their senior pictures at Alive. They could look like this.

BarlowGirl told the crowd to raise up random items. This is what they came up with.
