Vintage Live & Outside (VintageTruth.com)
Well, I’m home. I didn’t post in the last day or so because besides “and I drove 900 miles,” there wasn’t much to be said. I could’ve written about the creepy gas station guy, but that’s not enough for an entry (although knowing me, it could’ve been). Either way today was a great day. I woke up pretty late as I didn’t fall asleep until about 5:30-6am after unpacking my car. That was murder by the way. I grunted and groaned the whole time lugging all the crap up the stairs. Some of that stuff is really heavy, like my Mac. Thank goodness I save the boxes of everything, because packing all the stuff without it would be scary.
There wasn’t anything to eat in the house and honestly, I didn’t care one bit. I wasn’t hungry at all, probably the side effect of not eating much in the past 24 hours. I’m 200lbs people, I won’t waste away. 
The house is in decent order but my bedroom and the spare room are a bit of a disaster. Perhaps I should call FEMA? I need to get all my stuff out of the boxes and figure out where to put it all. I got a call from Brandon Rice @ Coram Deo Studios (No Greater Love) to talk about that website job I mentioned. I called him back after getting my computer setup and my desk situated. That’s always the first thing out of the box and in order, my computer. It’s not even because I love it so much, but it’s one of the most annoying things to unpack. All the cables and hook ups and getting the plastic off the monitors and those hooked up (DVI connectors are a pain to screw in with small stubby fingers like mine), etc. I think the site will come out great, and I’ll fill you in on more when I actually get the first piece online. It’ll just be a splash page, but at least you’ll have something
The rest of the day was just getting situated. I headed to Lewiston to get some groceries for the next day or so. I gotta say, it just doesn’t feel like home until it’s 75 and sunny, and I pull into Lewiston with oldies blasting in my car. I’m not going to have a lot of days to do that, it’s getting cold here already. 
I grabbed some “essentials” like mt. dew, slim fast (breakfast), muffins (breakfast), cream soda (of course!), hot dogs, hot dog buns (wheat…mmm), milk, honey nut cherrios, and I think that’s it. I don’t live on much, ha ha.
Vintage Live & Outside was later so I got ready and headed to Getzville for that. It’s always a good time! There’s so many folks there I love to see each week. I gotta say if there was anything about staying in NY that wouldn’t be so bad, it’s all the friends and stuff I have here. The rest of the night was great although I did catch myself in a large amount of odd conversations. I hate it when that happens, you feel like such a retard. Anyways, tons of folks went to Applebees afterwards (as usual) and hung out. I was there late this time, past 12 easy. Just sitting, laughing, and enjoying others company. That’s what makes Tuesdays so great for me. I love Vintage not just to worship and hear God’s Word, but I get to see so many folks I don’t normally see during my week. Living in the sticks 45mins+ away from everyone else makes it tough.
So yea, it’s good to be home. Time to get settled for good this time. I’m finally going to get that 50in Plasma of mine out of it’s box again and get it setup. I’m not going anywhere. If I got a call tomorrow for a job in LA I wouldn’t take it. I’m here for good I think. I’m going to refine the Standing Firm edit a bit more in the next week and get a cut off to friends for feedback, then it’s going to Affirm Films. Enough waiting…and we’ll see what they say. I got a call from their VP about 5 mins before I headed back to NY from Memphis and told him it was going to be on it’s way. I hope they say “we want it.” and help us get this thing out there for people. Speaking of which, I had a great time my last night in TN when I sat down with Joyce and George Bradshaw (who I was staying with), and showed them pieces of the film and some of our interviews. I think they really enjoyed what they saw and were excited to see it. I look forward to sending them a copy 
Well…time to get to work, finish getting unpacked, and wait for my parents to get back from Georgia in the next day or so. I can’t wait to see them again!
