a few more years shall roll

So, if you aren’t doing anything on December 12th, you really should find your way to the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN, where Andrew Peterson will have his annual Christmas show.

I just bought my plane ticket for this, my third visit, to the home of country music. I never thought I’d be a person who’d FLY to a concert, but I can’t help myself. Plus, there are some great airfare sales right now–PHL to Nashville for $122!

First, the show is just phenomenal. Andy invites special guests to join him for an “in the round” songfest of outrageous talent. Last year, Alison Krauss was there! The second half of the show is his original retelling of the Christmas story, beginning in the Old Testament and culminating in the birth of Jesus. Thankfully, for those who can’t make it, he’s releasing a CD of the music this October (hopefully).

Second, the show offers a chance for a great get-together. Weird people from the internet converge on the city to see each other and this show. You should really should come.
