I touched him(and he may of farted on me in return)

Oh man, there were two incredibly awesome things about the Switchfoot concert last night (besides the fact that Switchfoot is just awesome by themselves).

First, they let someone from the crowd come on stage and play guitar with them. He held a sign that said he knew how to play "Company Car" and switchfoot held them to it. On the list of songs I expected Switchfoot to perform, "company car" was towards the bottom, but this fan from the crowd helped make it possible.

Second, and this is were it gets really cool. Jon Foreman came out to the crowd during "Awakening". He stood up on someone's chair and was probably about 5-7 feet from me standing in the chair singing towards me. Then, he got down and ran back towards the stage. As he walked by I touched his right arm. My hand slid right off of his arm, because Jon was absolutely soaking wet from sweat. Jenny also touched him (she doesn't even want to be close to me when I'm that sweaty).

Anyways, to say the least, I'm going to go as long as I can without washing that hand. Today at church I plan to shake hands with my left hand, because it was my right that touched Mr. Foreman.

If you couldn't tell, I'm extremely pumped about the concert still, with my adrenaline still pumping extremely fast even though its the morning after. I am proud to be a carrier of Jon Foreman germs.

One last thought about the concert, ever since the song "Awakening" there was a pretty foul smell around the area Jenny and I were standing. We think Jon foreman cut one loose when he came to stand by us. Who knows, that may have even be why he came to the audience in the first place. He didn't want to do that to his band.

I was browsing through my feeds this morning and thought you might enjoy this: a video of that Company Car performance.

Glad you had a great time...those Switchfoot shows never get old.
