Events

Once again I found myself surrounded by blazing lights, pulsating beats, and a super-hyper atmosphere known as the Dance Barn. Only this time it was not my hands carefully crafting the ambiance of the room. I was not a performer; I was an attendee. 

Cornerstone 2007... ahh the memories.  I really had a great time.  Actually if I try to explain in this journal how good of a time I had I certainly will do injustice to the amount of fun I had.  Overall I would have to give it an A+.

It feels like only yesterday I was cramped up and smushed into the back seat of a Jeep Liberty, pulling out of the driveway of my good friends' house in Birmingham, Alabama.  We were all jacked up on Mountain Dew and ready for the long trip ahead.  One quick stop at a McDonald's and we were off. 

Many of us are excited for this year’s get together at Cornerstone. I wish that it was all going down right now but I am glad to have a little more time to take care of the details left to be done. This year I will be running a sound system during the day to help promote the Dance Club at night.

Tastyfresh.com and BTU Live are proud to announce the Cornerstone 2007 Dance Club lineup. Building on the success of the Underground’s management and direction during the 2005 and 2006 years, there really was only one way to improve the lineup for this year and that was to grab not only some fan favorites, but to bring in some of the biggest names currently in the EDM scene. If you haven’t attended Cornerstone in a few years, you’ve really missed out, but if you have been and haven’t checked out the Dance Club, you won’t want to miss it this year.

It’s official. Oneel, Fitzpatrick and I will be running the Dance Club at this year’s Cornerstone Music Festival in Bushnell, Il. For the most part, things will go exactly as they have in the past… but hopefully better.  John Herrin, the festival director, has been very open to some changes, as have we.

Nothing really could have gotten me more excited than when I finally booked a hotel room for last weekend.  I was going down to see one of my biggest influences in music play at a venue I have always wanted to visit.  Yes indeed, Andy Hunter was coming all the way across the Atlantic, just about 6 hours east of where I live to Club Worship.   All I had to do now was drive down with 3 of my best friends, what a great weekend ahead of me.

I’m still pretty new to the dance music scene (Christian or secular) as a whole and to DJ-led worship in particular, and until September 9th, I hadn’t been to any live events. I really don’t think that I could’ve picked a better weekend for my first live EDM experience and my first DJ-led worship event.

I guess a lot of people writing a review about this festival will pretty much have the same information, so I will try to do something different. Rather than focus on the technical aspects of things or how professional this was done, I will approach this from my personal experience.

We drove slowly away trying to find Camp Tastyfresh, and parked.  While we were looking over the field where the big white tent with UG was to see if anyone was there, there is a loud hissing coming out of our front tire.  “Oh no!  It’s going flat!  Well at least it happened here, it could have been anywhere along the road,” Jeremy and I both say to each other.
