R.I.P. Cornerstone Music Festival

I’m sitting in my office, working on tonight’s Bible Study (at The Bunker) when in walks Larry, the Director of Altona’s YFC. 
Amidst the conversation he drops the bomb on me; “did you hear that this years Cstone will be the last one ever?” I jumped on the website, read the news, and sank down in my chair…my happiest place on Earth will be no more…

If you don’t know what Cornerstone Fest is; it’s been the largest North American Christian Music Festival since 1984. Among it’s techno warehouse, art village, and hard hitting (world famous) speakers, it was THE place to see your favorite bands all on one stage.

Underoath, Norma Jean, Haste the Day, Means, NIV, David Crowder, P.O.D., and thousands more. Each year tens of thousands of people would cram onto the monstrous fair grounds for the week long event to mosh, dance, hug, sing, swim, share, and praise.

I was lucky enough to experience it for the first time as my highschool grad party, and continued to go for several years after. When I say that it was my happiest place on Earth I mean that, no where else that I’ve ever been to ever made me feel as happy as Cstone did. To me it was the best literal/physical translation of “Heaven on Earth”. 

I’ll be posting pics from my visits on Fbook and I’d love it if those of you who have experienced it could share your thoughts/memories in a reply, reblog, or comment. 
Below is the first video I ever posted online. It’s my friends in Means performing at the 2007 Cornerstone event.

[my] SOUNDTRACK TO COLLEGE:
There are a lot of things that define chapters of our lives. What car we drove, the friends we have, a book we read, the style of clothes, and most certainly (and always) the music we listened to. No one can say “the 80’s” without thinking about those hair-flipping metal bands right?For me, college was a monumental time in my life where I experienced a great amount of change. Not only did I learn a lot about the history of religion and the inner workings of our society, I also spent a lot of time picking apart my own emotional attachment to different things. It was through all these changes that I needed a certain ambience…a vibe…an environment conducive to the kind of growth I needed. 
As out of place as it may seem Kanye West’s “808’s & Heartbreak” created the perfect feeling to take me through the different emotions, and help provide the right feeling for keeping my mind focused on what was in front of me. Sitting in the library with a stack of books, being a hermit in my room writing papers, walking around campus, dealing with girlfriend issues, helping friends through struggles, creating art, or playing video games…the different tracks each provided unique ways for me to escape into seclusion. 
It’d be hard for me to pinpoint a specific song that really stuck out. I think at times (depending on the situation) each one was in it’s own right my “favorite”. And while it may not be his most “Yeezy” album, to me it’s a perfect blend of the different sounds music can make.
If you haven’t you should check it out. As for myself, I’m on to new chapters and different albums…

MY [college] GRAD PARTY

or

THE FAIRLY ODD FOLK Return to The Bunker


Long story short, my school messed up on my invite to the banquet, so I decided to throw my own shindig for my family and friends. Luckily Lauren Mann & The Fairly Odd Folk were in town. Throw in a bunch of talented Manitoba musicians, and a ton of food, and you’ve got yourself a good ol’ time!

HUGE thanks to everyone that participated in the potluck; I wouldn’t have wanted to finish off the school year any other way :)

R.I.P. Whitney Houston

Wow, that’s unexpected…
My mom used to listen to her a lot. I remember being a kid and knowing more words to “I Will Always Love You” than most afterschool special’s theme music.
Definitely a pioneer for the female pop singers that flood our radios nowadays.
