Thoughts on "Asbury Revival?"
My pastor commented this afternoon: "There's a lot more to revival than a bunch of white kids singing songs and skipping classes..." (She was kidding) Here's a perspective from Christianity Today: Something I wrote in an email to friends earlier this week (which makes more sense given that today was Transfiguration Sunday in the Common Lectionary) And, of course, the Occam's Razor explanation: Report: Asbury University Revival Started Night Before Huge Group Project Was Due

Well, at least just like the dudes who showed up and brought weird gifts for Jesus' birthday

- Moving to Honolulu
Thanks for the updates and insights, all... The gig would be downtown, pretty close to the Iolani Palace and right on the Honolulu harbor. 'Preciate the recommendations about Hawaii on its own terms... I think that's a bit of a selling point, to be honest, since I tend to do pretty well finding a place and looking to connect/fit in without all the "what this needs is...." How I would manage that longer term, though, is up for debate. Another curveball is the possibility that the Mrs. would stay in the Northwest so the kiddo can graduate (doesn't do well with transitions). So, it could be an interesting two years- which makes the comments about making social connections a bit concerning. However, if I follow the sage advice given by other fine members of this esteemed community... I might be OK.- Moving to Honolulu
We've covered Hawaii in a couple of places here already, including a relocation thread. So, I thought this might be the best place to add this... Interviewing for a gig in Honolulu, and would appreciate any insight that the hivemind might provide. I know it's expensive as hell, even in comparison to living in Seattle, and I'm not sure about the process of relocating everything across the ocean. But... it's a pretty good opportunity to work with someone I admire, and I'm obviously looking for another gig. So, Surly Kupunas... what wisdom do you have?- Abolish the Police

I disagree. But, in the spirit of reciprocity... I love Brandi Carlile, but the only Grammy win that fit for her yesterday was the victory in "Best Americana Album". I don't think her amazing talents and performances count as "rock", but looking at the other nominees across the "performance" and "song" over the past few years I obviously don't know what "rock" is anymore.
