Kansas City!


I haven not wrote anything since just after new years eve, and a few things have happend since.
I was at a concert a week ago with some friends at a place called Kansas City here in Odense. Besides being a great place for concerts it also has 40 rooms for bands to practice. They help a lot of musicians!
One of my friends told me that he worked there as a volunteer. It sounded really like a cool job! I decieded to contact Kansas City. I did and i talked to the nice woman who booke bands and are in charge of the volunteers. She told me that they mostly have metal concerts cause most of the staff loves metal, and the place is very underground!! There are also many benifits in the job, such as free concerts whenever i want, and i can bring a friend for free too, and much more. If you live in Odense i think you should check it out! I just had my first shift this thursdag. It is a great place to be! There are some really nice people, and you get to meet, a lot of cool bands:-P
I think i am really going to enjoy this! We are 2 christians working there and we are trying to get them to arrange a concert with some christian metal bands, and the best thing is that they are up for it!
My first shift was a night with 4 metal bands:

SPECTRAL MORTUARY (DK)
DESTINITY (FR)
SEVERE TORTURE (NL)
DEW-SCENTED (DE)

Cool, and very nice bands! They were very thankful for our work - It was really a great night. Even though the work was hard(a lot of walking and lifting) it was relaxing. I guess it was because i love metal and im relaxed around it. So working while its being played, is just perfect. Once in a while i could take a break and listen to the music:-)
I really felt like this is something that God want me to do. To get some knowledge about metal, and meet some people who loves metal, but are not christians. In that way i think i can learn a lot about their way of thinking, and it may be useful later on. Only God knows! - So im just going to follow through with watever he wants me to:-)
