Hey guys! Editing this post to make it more efficient. I had to limit my posts per page down to one so that my video and music wouldn't crash. That problem has now been fixed, with my first ever Sckpanhead Productions presentation! Here was the original blog, along with all the pictures and video I took at the Rock and Worship Roadshow 2011 in Fresno, CA:
"It's now time for part two of the rock and Worship Roadshow 2011 in Fresno! (clap)
I made a really cool video of all my pictures and videos I took at the concert, but they won't upload to blogger. Sorry, but I have no choice other than to post them, one by one, slowly, slowly, ugh. The videos are at the end, strategically placed so you won't just watch them and not look at the pictures. *wink wink* Please do not use any of the pictures or videos without my permission! Thanks, and enjoy."
And now, here is everything that was underneath that, rolled into one. Enjoy!

Ya'll look like muppets
The last stop on the Rock and Worship Roadshow: Fresno California! There are no words to describe how awesome this concert is. To all my Nevada people, I'm sorry it doesn't come close to you, but trust me when I say it is worth the drive to Sacramento. Plus, If you're willing to drive an extra two hours to Fresno next year, I will reward you with one free night's stay at my house, complete with couch and blanket! Pillows are extra, sorry.
Anyway, enough of that. The Fresno show is the best show on the tour, and I'm not just saying that because that's the one I go to. In fact, here's a quote from MercyMe's Bart Millard from the show, "All those other people on the tour thought they were the best dancers, but in the back of my mind I knew there was still Fresno..." The Savemart Center is a huge place, and it was full to the top. This was my first concert where I actually wore earplugs the entire time, with the exception of a few TFK songs. It was loud in there.
If any of you even read my news feed, you may have seen my pre-show judgements about the bands on the tour. Well, here's the way things really went down:
Vira Avenue: These guys were a local band that won a contest or something like that. Reguardless, they were very good, and I hope to see more of them in the future.
Anthem Lights: I don't even want to talk about this band. If you want to know about them, type "Anthem Lights" into Google and leave me alone. Just look at them! Do they look like the kind of people I would want to talk about? Yeah, I didn't think so. Excuse me while I barf.
The Afters: They were OK, not my favorite but at least they weren't Anthem Lights.
Matt Maher: I thought he would be boring, just another band before TFK if you know what I mean, but I really liked him. I think I will be buying his album soon. (It just took me like five trys to type the period after that sentence)
Thousand Foot Krutch: Clearly the best. Need I say more? What is there to say? Nothing, that's what. (That right there is code for "I'm drawing a blank here and I have no idea what to write")
Lecrae: This guy was fun. Good and fun. Plus it's always nice to listen to rap music that doesn't have all that junk in it, you know?
Jars of Clay: Well, I don't honestly know how JOC was because I made good on my word and left during this part of the show. What I did see of them was through half closed eyes, because by this point in the show I was exhausted.
MercyMe: I love these guys. I don't listen to MercyMe all that much, and when I do it's involuntary, but I love seeing them in concert. It makes me feel good. They are now the band I've seen most in concert, a grand total of three times. They were tied with Hawk Nelson, who I've seen twice.
This is part one of a two part blog, and part two is the pictures and video I took. Stay tuned. (Stay tuned? What's wrong with me?)
Where is Thousand Foot Krutch? Oh my, where are they? Why don't they show up? What kind of tour is this???!! Wait, is that, no it's not. Oh my oh how could this happen? Nooooooooooooooooooo never!!!!!!
Let me explain the blog title before I go. During the concert, Bart Millard had us all do a side step, starting with our right. Somehow, on one side of the arena, every other row did NOT start with their right, and they were going the opposite way of the row in front of them (how does a whole row of people get left and right confused? It must be the heat...) Bart said, "Ya'll look like muppets," hence, the title of this blog.

My Second "Foreign" Language Blog
Yo vivo en California, y un montón de gente de aquí hablan español. Deseo con todo mi corazón que yo podía hablar español, creo que es una lengua tan impresionante, y que encajaría en una mejor dirección. Estoy tan harto de ser llamado a la muchacha blanca.
Soy medio mexicano, como he dicho antes. Yo tengo un acento español muy bien, pero no puedo hablarlo. Puedo leer, puedo escribir, puedo decirlo, pero no puede hablar. Es muy molesto. Me gustaría poder escribir blogs en otros idiomas, por lo que mis lectores podían leer mis palabras en su lengua materna. Así que aquí va, mi primer blog en español.
Es perfectamente se puede estar triste, estar deprimido, a llorar, porque le ayuda a entender un poco mejor. Si estás triste por algo, ¿por qué nada te impida dejar que se fuera? Cuando pensamos que algo es divertido, lo que tenemos en nuestra risa? No, lo dejó escapar. Lo dejó escapar porque es socialmente aceptable hacerlo. ¿Pero por qué, le pregunto, son las emociones frente a menudo ocultos o ignorados?
