opening ceremony and then some

today's the first full day of the congress. the opening ceremony last night was crazy. there were some technical glitches at first, but after that for the most part it fairly well. i did make one huge mistake though- i sent up a speaker to the stage way too early.

i didn't realize how much i was clueless on who's who in the greater christian world. it doesn't really matter to me who the folks are because i generally treat everyone who goes on stage the same, but it was weird to be sitting next to the archbishop of the anglican church in uganda and have people come up and randomly take pictures of him (who does that?!).

so far, i really really like my stage manager. he's a really chill southern dude who looks almost EXACTLY like gerard butler. he's a gerard butler stretched out a little bit sideways and has a southern accent instead of a scottish one. and he's really good at his job. i love production folk. i'm trying to be BFFs with the mic guy.

okay off i gooooo
