Ted Kluck, co-author of “Why We’re Not Emergent” (an excellent book in which Ted writes the amusing observations while his co-author writes the biblical analysis), shares his amusing and thoughtful observations in a blog post that I thoroughly enjoyed. Here is a snippet:
I have been told, in all earnestness, by a 19-year-old security guard wearing jeggings and six necklaces, that the only rules for being backstage at Acquire the Fire are “Don’t talk to the VIPs” and “Don’t bother the VIPs.” I have seen and smelled what 8,000 pubescent teenagers look and smell like when crammed into the Jack Breslin Events Center in East Lansing, Michigan. It is the smell of unabated self-consciousness mixed with bad hygiene mixed with Axe Body Spray. I have now watched a two-hour skit, and it was as uncomfortable as you could ever imagine a two-hour skit being.
Worth reading it all.
