Farewell Tour http://www.elevationgeneration.org/blog/2009/10/guy_trip_delirious/ http://www.elevationgeneration.org/blog/2009/10/guy_trip_delirious/#comments Fri, 16 Oct 2009 18:07:48 +0000 Shawn Michael http://www.elevationgeneration.org/blog/?p=3143 Delirious? — on my top list of fave rock’n'roll bands of all time — announced their farewell tour a couple months ago.  I saw that they were coming to Colorado Springs, so I checked around to see if a couple of guys would be interested in going with me to help defray the costs and do the “bro-trip-experience” with me.

Well, it turns out that Brent, Mike, and Ken were up for it!  We hit the road Wednesday morning and drove the 8-hour drive… it was TOTALLY a blast!  Such a great concert and such an awesome time — including tons of laughs with the guys.  Here’s some highlights from our trip…

Delirious? truly did deliver.  I’ve always said that I wanted to see them live and they were absolutely awe-inspiring.  What an incredible concert AND worship experience!  So sad to see them say “goodbye”.

We had the opportunity to visit with our mutual friend, Lion Mendoza, on Thursday morning — another highlight of the trip.  We all love that guy.

Of course, a stop at the Apple Store and watching Ken get a little loopy after taking some sinus medication was fun, too!

What a fun night! There were over 300 students in attendance for free food, inflatables, music, and the Gospel message (with several decisions for Christ)!

Here’s some pics from the event.  Pay no attention to the guy in the “fat suit”…
