Xfest NorthWest Log - Sept. 2007
Well, I didn’t take any pictures. I should have, though…The Skamania county fairgrounds is beautiful. It’s right on the Columbia river (you can even dip your toes into it) and sits about 45 minutes east of downtown Portland in the Columbia river gorge.
Jess and I played the “acoustic coffeehouse” for about 45 minutes. I can’t remember a tighter set - Jess and I were “on,” and we had a marvelous time. After the show, one of the baristas told me we were one of the best bands he’d seen at the festival! I also got a chance to catch up with some old friends, make some new connections, and we introduced “aquatechnics” for the very first time… Basically, we let people use a couple bubble blowers to fill the air with bubbles. It was pretty sweet - when people were in the right spots, the bubbles blew all throughout the coffeehouse shelter!
My prayer is that God worked in the hearts of those who were listening. Maybe we’ll see you next year!
