United Rocked!

Incredible concert last night! United rocked the house, though I felt my age amongst so many youth! Got to share my experience with my wife, my friends Doug and Joni, and about 3500 others... sold out, standing room only.

Pretty cool that they did some tunes from their new CD (which hit the Billboard charts at #60), but they also did some old favorites, most of which we do at the Orchard.

If you get the chance to see them, I guarantee you will enjoy the experience!
More later.

Peace.

I'm so jealous. We don't get many chances out here in the middle of Nebraska to see groups like that.

Hey Mike -
We saw United in Jacksonville, FL - it was incredible as well!

My name is Fred McKinnon, I'm a Worship Leader, Pianist, Producer, and yes ... a blogger! (see http://www.fredmckinnon.com) I'd love for you to come checkout my blog sometime, learn more about me, etc. I also have the Highest Praise Worship Podcast (http://www.highestpraise.com/podcast) and the Worship Interludes Podcast (www.worshipinterludes.com)

Anyway, if you have the time, I need help if possible ... I'm boldy going and approaching some great leaders/bloggers, etc., about this:

I've launched a site called "The Worship Community" at:
http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/forums/index.php?referrerid=1

It's a forums site for discussion of worship, worship leadership, worship music, Technologies for Worship, etc. I'm hoping to get a huge swell of new users in the community through the network/subculture of worship/pastoral leadership bloggers, music lovers, and fellow Christians. There is also a place to post your setlists and links back to your own Video Worship Confessionals.

We're doing a full-blown referral contest right now - for those people who come and Register (free) ... you get a special "/?referrerid= ..." URL. We're running the contest to get people to come ... a "qualified referral" is one who has posted 5+ threads or replies by June 30. The prizes are:

1st: $50 iTunes Gift Cert
2nd: $30 iTunes Gift Cert
3rd: $20 iTunes Gift Cert

I'm paying that out of pocket, and will be investing in some email marketing blasts to Worship Musician, Worship leader, and ChristianMusic magazine subscribers as well.

Would love for you to check it out, and if you feel it's worthy of mention, blog it ... and of course, hope you'll join and introduce yourself - use your referral URL and you could win!

Thanks again!
