This Past Weekend in PA & WV
Mon., Aug. 3. 2009 8:20am EDT
We had a mini-homecoming this past weekend in Greensburg PA, Shinnston WV, and McMurray PA. Not only did we play concerts in J.'s hometown (Friday) and near Jimmy's house (Sunday), we also got to hang out with some ApologetiX alumni.
We were honored (and surprised) to have four of our former drummers at Sunday's show -- Jeff Pakula (1992-93), Rick Servocky (1993-95), Bob Flaherty (1995-98), and Bill "Moose" Rieger (2001-05). We got some great photos of those four guys with Jimmy "Vegas" Tanner.
Here are some nice comments we received afterward from this weekend's concert coordinators: I wanted to thank you guys again. Last night was amazing! I know that all of my youth group had a blast. Anyway, hope your return was safe and again I thank you.
