October 15th - "Silence is Golden...but Duct Tape is SILVER! ;)
Hey all! I hope if you are reading this, that you had the opportunity to be at Higher Ground this past weekend (October 15th). We had another awesome time…it was a BLAST from start to finish! If you weren’t there, by all means make plans to visit on November 5th! WELCOME NEWBIES! We had a great crowd of around 60-65 with a lot of new faces….WELCOME!
I am not sure if we will have any photos from this past event, but I might be able to scarf some from the video…I will certainly try. YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE Britney Davis with the fuzzy pink top hat ;) ! Oh yeah, and Shanique and Britney on stage singing with the House Band! Very cool.
We had some great entertainment this past weekend with Evan Rasnake & Ashley Hubbard, The HG House Band, and two (yep, count ‘em, 2) comedians – ‘House regular, Jeff Arwood, and Bobby Street. Oh, yeah – we also had a rowdy, fun, rockin’ crowd ;).
Evan and Ashley did a great job with a number of great contemporary songs, some Third Day stuff, and an original Ashley Wrote. Thanks, guys for giving me the privilege of jamming with you through that one – AWESOME! They will be joining us again with some other folks in November. Keep it here for more details.
The House Band performed a bunch of songs from our repertoire, including “How Far is Heaven,” “Fields of Grace,” “Hungry,” “Undo Me,” Trinity,” and some new stuff including a new instrumental and a 4 bar blues tune, “I Thank You Jesus.” We handed out a microphone to the crowd, who all obliged with singing along on “Sweet Home Hosanna.”
Jeff Arwood took the stage and shared his philosophy on telemarketers. Jeff provided an excellent overview of practical methods to keep those telemarketers at bay. He was HILARIOUS -- His comprehensive list included,
Bobby Street followed up Jeff’s routine and did an outstanding job of cracking up the masses. His self-introduction was great…he advised everyone that he ahs lived with a married woman for the last 16 years… “my momma.” COOL! Bobby had help from a friend, but really blew us away. We want him back really soon!
AUDIENCE – the audience was great this weekend! Tyler, Ethan, Sidney and all of the usual bunch at the front two tables – you guys rock! Carol and Roger Caudill – thanks for joining us! And…Barbara, Sandy, and Linda – it was great to have you all!
We are looking forward to November 5th! Come visit us and bring a friend!
OH YEAH! Remember… “Silence is golden…but duct tape is silver!”
Godspeed…BR

Jeff Arwood took the stage and shared his philosophy on telemarketers. Jeff provided an excellent overview of practical methods to keep those telemarketers at bay. He was HILARIOUS -- His comprehensive list included,
- “Answer the phone. As soon as you realize it is a Telemarketer, set the receiver down, scream, "Oh my God!" and then hang up.” and,
- Tell the Telemarketer you are busy at the moment and ask him/her if he/she will give you his/her home phone number so you can call him/her back. When the Telemarketer explains that telemarketers cannot give out their home numbers say, "I guess you don't want anyone bothering you at home, right?" The Telemarketer will agree and you say, "Me either!" Hang up. Oh yeah, also:
- Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times.
- Tell them it is dinner time, but ask if they would please hold. Put them on your speaker phone while you continue to eat at your leisure. Smack your food loudly and continue with your dinner conversation.
- Tell the Telemarketer you are on "home incarceration" and ask if they could bring you a pizza.
- Ask them to fax the information to you, and make up a number.
