If It's Too Loud.....

Last night, Clay, his friend Emily, Michelle, Janis, Erin, Staci (friends from SCC) and I all piled into the Explorer and headed to Greenville for The Alternative. This is a concert, the first Sunday night of each month at Carpentar's Cellar Coffee House. Half Mile Marathon was playing, along with three other bands. We knew to get there early as the place is really small and crowded. But, we realized that we hadn't eaten and would you believe that almost nowhere in Downtown Greenville is open on a Sunday night?!! We finally ordered take out from Stickey Fingers and ate at the tables outside the coffee house.

The first band was a really loud punk rock band. Be sure the check out the hair in the photos! We went outside to see if we could gain any hearing back before the second band, and to take crazy pictures with the local statues (Staci and Michele, below). The second band was two girls singing to a soundtrack type music. They were okay.

Third up was Half Mile and they rocked! We sang, danced and worshipped along with them for about 45 minutes. (In between announcing, "It's Mr. Mitch!" everytime he sang, in honor of Ben who stayed home with Ron.) Between HMM and MyCalvery, we headed back outside for more crazy pictures. (We seemed to forget that we weren't in NYC or Chicacgo, but in Greenville!)

After a couple of MyCalveary songs, we decided to go sit outside and listen, well, more like try to listen since our ear drums were long since gone.

Clay and Emily played checkers during MyCalvery and had to use cell phones to see!

Oh, and we took even more crazy pictures! We did not place the ice cream cup, but had great fun with it! Mr. Poinsett gets a hug from Michele. Brian is thinking about how to take his foot out of his mouth about "old" me! And, then, we all joined Brian for some thinking action....... ....and then Brian invited all of the random people sitting outside listening to come join us for a photo! Do we know most of these people? NO! You might recognize yourself if you were in G'ville on Sunday night!
Emily and Clay sport HMM tees.
We had a wonderful time and can't wait to do this again soon!
