Here's the Bean. Where are the People?

One of the first rules you learn in mid level writing is to identify your audience. Then the rest of the test should be in a voice and style to communicate well to that particular group. If you are reading this, you are in one of two groups: you are a member of Sojourn or you weren’t at Essential Bean on Friday. That is to say there weren’t that many people there!

It was a nice evening with great weather on a holiday weekend. I guess that means nobody was up for coffee.

The band performed well, no major snafus. One thing that bothered me is that we couldn’t leave the mixer alone. Maybe we need a Ronco mixer that you just, “Set it and forget it!”

That being said, I believe Tim was recording our performance which will be interesting for me to hear myself with the group instead of hearing Denny. I want to be in two places at once, listening and playing.

I think the group is making progress toward the goal of a clean, tight, rehearsed sound with a great message. Those friends that did make it out were full of compliments on just such improvements.

Hope to see you at Festival, Downtown Grand Rapids, June 2 at 5:45pm on the City Stage!
