Alright, so it was really a Tenth Avenue North concert featuring Matt Maher and Addison Road, but lets face it, I was there soley for Matt Maher.
There was a huge group of us from Rockhurst that went so of course we carpooled. It was fun, we had some good conversation, a lot of laughter, and we prayed...what more could you possibly desire.
One of the teens from back home came in town with her mom for the concert as well so that was fantastic. I got to meet up with them for lunch on the Plaza and then of course we took pictures after the concert...Nikki loves her photo ops! They also brought me a halloween care package...my parents don't even give me care packages:P
We had a great time with a lot of singing, a little dancing, and completely praising God. At the end we serenaded Matt, it was beautiful:)

Something that I found interesting was the difference between Matt's music and that of the other artists. Matt was the only Catholic. I'm not even entirely sure how to describe the difference. Most of Tenth Avenue North and Addison Road's music seemed very individualistic, focused on the here and now, and about Christ being our light and savior from our personal darkness while most of Matt Maher's music was more universal (in time and space), more about the community and strength of the Church, and more of the awesomeness of Christ's great sacrifice. Many of the differences were subtle, and of course there was some cross-over, but for the most part this is how it was. Matt Maher's music seemed to just contain Truth. The other bands' held truth in their music but only in part. Just an observation
Love and prayers
