I am adding words of encouragement and praise for all the hard work and good presentations that I have had the privilege of seeing in the past week. I am proud of the positive attitude expressed even as we loaded in the downpour of rain! I look forward to the next time I can join you in July. I pray that God will bless each of you as you are a blessing to all who come to "Godspell"!

GO EAST COAST!
Hey Crazy Wide World!
Just thought I'd drop you a line on my day off. We're 6 some shows into our Whirlwind Tour of the Eastern Seaboard, and things a going great! Last night's show was amazing - our first full house. East Coasters ARE CRAZY AND I LOVE IT!!! Let's hear it for the original 13 colonies, ladies and gentlemen! They've still got it! 200+ years and still KICKING! Never has an audience clapped so hard - I feared for the structural integrity of their palms.
Three adventurous girls left today for a trip to New York City, but everyone else is just lazing around Kristin's house. Being lazy is amazing. I highly recommend it*.
Wanna shout out a huge thanks to anyone's who's ever hosted ANYONE on a Godspell tour. You guys are amazing! All my hosts have been wonderful ppl.! Hospitality is a scriptural virtue, but you guy's have pushed it to new heights! Go, Team!
Catch ya later!

*user discretion is advised. For best results, a sedentary life should be led in short bursts in conjunction with rigorous exercise and a balanced diet. Side effects may include eventual boredom, listlessness, apathy, and possible bedwetting (in the event you become too lazy to actually walk to the bathroom).

Which one of you is John the Baptist?
Afternoon, all. I felt like I should probably post in the blog. An intense feeling of responsibility coupled with the constant love-driven nagging of my sweet mother (love you, mom) has prompted me to open up my browser here and poor onto electronic paper some of the thoughts of my brain. Some of these thoughts are as follows.
Yesterday was fun at Gettysburg. A bunch of us went out onto the field where Pickett's Charge took place, and we walked most of it and then ran the last leg of it. For those of you who know me, you are well aware that running is my third least favorite thing, coming in behind only death by drowning and getting poked in the eye repeatedly. In the end, however, it went well and I didn't die, although I took about seventeen puffs on my inhaler (just kidding, mom; but I still have it, I promise).
Also, I have been really blessed to stay with some really awesome people. Dustin and Ashley, the Wentz family, the Greenlese family, Ethel and Ben, and anyone else I could have forgotten: if you read this, know that I and the rest of the cast are SO grateful for all the great things you have been doing for us. It is so wonderful to be able to go to a nice place and just feel completely at home away from home while on the road. Our hearts go out to you and yours.
That is all I have time to think now. Off to mic check!
But what if we don't have any sacks?
Peter
PS - I love Patrick Harding.

"Do you want to dance in a circle and pretend that we're cupcakes?"
So, one time, I said to Kristen, "I'm feeling needy." She responded with the above quote.
It made me piddygiggle.
I've been having a great time thus far on the tour. I've met a lot of great people (thanks, host families!), and I feel like the shows are going well. Despite those things, I wonder, what is God trying to teach me and the group?
Probably patience. Probably grace. Probably optimism. Probably perseverance.
Most of all? Probably love!
Was there ever any doubt?
He may also be trying to tell our group about Pokemon.
Or about "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
Or about load-outs in a terrential downpour (Franklin, PA).
Or about AWESOME SPAGHETTI DINNERS! (Also Franklin, PA)
Or about HUGE, AWESOME PIECES OF CAKE AFTER THE AWESOME SPAGHETTI DINNERS! (Yes, also Franklin, PA)
Or about living with heat in the bus.
Or about Gettysburg.
Or about being quiet before a show starts. (Mainly Pat Irick. You just laugh a lot, dude. It's okay, though. It might be partially my fault ;)
Or about growing a huge beard. (Matthias)
Or about being angelic. (Rebekah)
Hmmm...maybe.
Well, I'm tired, and probably not making sense. I hope to see you all soon. Peter Owens wants me to say that I'm in love with him. There you go, Pete. I feel like I should mention everyone in this blog, now that I've name dropped a lot. But I wanna spread it out. Like butter.
Love you, love your work.
