I've been here before, but this is the first time we've had a booth. We've met & caught up with so many amazing people so far this week. Some of them include: Ernie Haas, The Browns, Les Butler, Paul Heil, Daniel Howell (works at Gaither Studios in Indiana), SEVERAL wonderful promoters, DJ's, and radio personnel.
We've handed out over 100 promotional packets. They're pretty awesome & everyone continually praises them.
Tuesday afternoon we sang at the artist regoinal showcase. We sang "God's Not Finished With Me Yet". It went really well. Scotty Inman of the Triumphant Quartet introduced us. You can watch it here:
Thursday morning we sang for the Southern Gospel Promoters' Association Showcase. We sang "How Great Thou Art" and "God's Not Finished With Me Yet". We had great response. Our new buddy, Jim Hefner, President of the association, said he was impressed and in a few years we will run with the bigger groups. What a blessing to here!
Listen to us sing here:
I also made a new friend, Lindsey Graham. She is SUCH a sweetheart, as is her mom and dad. Check out her website at: http://www.lindseygrahamministries.com/. Lindsey is from Naples, FLa; but originally, her family is from Kentucky. Thanks, Lindsey, for giving me your Christmas CD. Can't wait to listen to it.
Adam Brown (sings with The Browns) invited us to attend "Bowling With The Browns" last night. It didn't start til midnight and ended around 2 a.m. My sisters & I bowled with our new Nash-vegas friend, Lindsay. I won the first game; then she kicked our butt the second game! lol Mom & Dad played also. Mom thinks she sprung her wrist somehow, so she "granny" bowled. She won the game with 130 points! Pretty awesome for not being able to REALLY bowl! Thanks to The browns for hosting the games & for providing pizza. We really appreciate you.
Well, it's Friday morning... wait, I mean afternoon. Mom & Dad went to the Promoter's Breakfast and left the girls & I asleep. When they returned to the room, they said "GET UP! It's 9 'til noon!" Since the curtains were shut, the room was very dark and we slept half the day away. Oops. At least we're rested for this evening.
Well, I'm off to get ready. I was going to head over to the convention center to hear The Browns sing, but since I didn't get up til noon-ish, I don't have enough time to make it over there. I'm going to wear a pretty new babydoll jacket I bought at a boutique at the convention.
Have a blessed day,
Elizabeth
