DC*B Concert

This past Sunday evening I joined a few friends in Tulsa for a DC*B (David Crowder Band) concert.  (As far as I know, there is no relation between David Crowder and myself.  But, if you have a lot of spare time and wish to investigate, please let me know what you find).  This is my third DC*B concert (also, my third concert EVER...lame, I know) to go to. If you have never seen DC*B, I would definitely encourage you to look at the rest of the 7 tour dates and locations and see if you can make it to one of the concerts.  This is their LAST tour, so really try to make it to one...no excuses...I even had clinical on Monday and still hit up the concert Sunday night.  Totally worth it. Seriously. At least get some of their music off iTunes...my favorite albums are probably A Collision, Remedy and Church Music, but all of them have some fantastic songs.  On that note, don't ask me to tell you my favorite song...I don't think I could pick.  Here are the highlights of the evening (chronological order):

1. Dinner at Joe Mamma's Pizza. Super cute pizza place where you can actually watch them make the pizzas and put them in the oven thing. It smelled really good...I can't actually tell you how it tasted because I have been sick, so I just got to eat a salad....but everyone I was with liked it.  I think I will have to go back sometime when I can actually eat the pizza.  

2. Concert at Cain's Ballroom. I guess you could say Cain's is a historical ballroom of sorts. It's pretty decent. It's a quaint little concert hall with like no seating, but it's fun times.


3. First opener = John Mark McMillan. I wasn't a huge fan of this one. Kind of a weird cross between country and rock. Also, I could not understand like any of the lyrics. 

4. Second opener = Chris August. I didn't think I knew who this was, until he performed Starry Nights. I think I like him.  Kind of reminds me vaguely of Phil Wickham. The downer was we were kind of needing some jump around, pumped up music, which this was not. Good, but not super upbeat.

5. Third opener = Gungor. Don't make fun of the name...I may have...but don't...Gungor is actually a really decent band.  I'll definitely be getting some of their music. Check them out.

6. DC*B!!! Yeah, they finally came on at 9:30...but they were fantastic, as usual.  Played some great songs from older albums, played a couple songs from their last (not-yet-released) album, and gave us a taste of their new Christmas album. Fabulous. It's too bad this is their last tour. I mean, if I've only gone to DC*B concerts, and this is the last one, I guess that means I will not be going to any more concerts...hopefully not, but seriously.  

7. Drive home. We didn't leave Tulsa until midnight-ish. Got to Stillwater shortly after 1ish. Hopped in my car, and I'm not going to tell you when I got to Edmond by...but I was in bed at 3ish. I was blessed for some unknown reason to have a late clinical on Monday (3p-11p instead of 7a-7p). Anyways, that's pretty much it...obviously life is crazy or else I would be on here more often...
