Sweet Georgia Red (on my face)

This past weekend, we had the pleasure of rocking out in Alpharetta, GA, just outside of Atlanta. The event was The Salvation Army's Georgia Division Youth Councils and there were over 400 teens in attendance. We rocked some glock, played soccer, and got in a minor car accident for good measure. I know a lot of you are concerned about what i just said, but don't worry. We stretched before playing soccer.

The accident was nothing. The vehicle we were in rear ended a car at a light. No one was injured, and it actually looked like there was very little damage to both vehicles which was surprising. We were in a pick-up truck (we have in our rider that we prefer riding in the classiest vehicle of the culture we are visiting), and drove into the back of a Pontiac Vibe. The pick-up hit the Vibe pretty hard, and its response seemed to be, "Is that all you got?" There was barely a scratch on it. Pontiac has discontinued the Vibe and I can only imagine it's because they were afraid it was becoming too strong and would one day overtake us.

We got to see some friends at this event. Rick and Bernie were rocking the AV, while Doug McClure was socially networking. The boys from the band TransMission (http://www.facebook.com/satransmission) were there rocking hard. Captain Sturdivant was in charge and an awesome host. They even made short videos to introduce us. Here's one below. I'm still not sure which one's supposed to be me and which one is supposed to be Brian:

On Saturday, we played a marathon game of soccer. Seeing that it was snowing in Philly when we left on Friday, the last thing on our mind was a sunburn. Needless to say, with my bald head, I am closer than ever to becoming my favorite TV star: Bob the Tomato. Soccer was fun. Brian scored a bunch of goals, and I even had some. One was a textbook header, that you may see on SportsCenter. I can only assume it will be on there since there were more points scored in our game then in the UConn-Butler NCAA National Championship Game.

Once again, thanks to all of our friends, old and new, from The Salvation Army Georgia Division. Hopefully we will hang together again soon! We'll bring the Glock, you bring the sunscreen.
