First Concert and The Worst Trip to McDonald's Ever

Gates Wide first concert is in the books! Here is a snippet of one song we performed tonight. The clip was taken on my digital camera (not digital video camera) and turned out pretty good considering that fact. Enjoy!



Thank you to those who attended tonight's concert. We are moved by all of your comments and the chocolate cake was delicious.

Trip to Mickey D's (Worst to Date)

Adam and I went to McDonald's after we finished packing our equipment. Nothing is like going to McDonald's after a concert. The only thing better is going to either Waffle House, Huddle House, or Denny's and eating breakfast at 10:00 PM. Tonight was an interesting trip to this particular McDonald's. I ordered a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese combo large sized with a Dr Pepper to drink. My meal came out very quickly and I was ready in probably 2 minutes to sit down and eat my double clogged artery with cheese. Adam decided to order the same thing (copycatter!) which took what seemed like 15 minutes to prepare. In the meantime we witnessed some interesting happenings. First, I don't think anyone on this staff likes anyone else. A worker was fussing about not wanting to get off at 1:00 again and that they needed to get finished by 12:00 so she could..."Get tow up! And that she might even throw up!"
(This is the nicest thing I can post of what she said...so you can imagine the rest or maybe you don't want to imagine the rest. I would not advise it!) A container of tea was spilled behind the counter. Threats were made. And one cook said he was just trying to survive the night which I completely believed. All the while Adam and I are looking at each other in amazement (The root of which is one of Adam's favorite words....Amazing). Adam finally got his food and we sat down to eat. Adam's food was hot as it just came off of the grill. My food was not because it was in my bag the entire time Adam's was being prepared. We asked the blessing. And dug into the food...Adam commented, "Not bad!" I replied, "Well, mine was probably NOT BAD about 15 minutes ago but it is cold now." Ahhhhh....Mickey D's, I'm Lovin' It!
