The countdown is on…
I had a couple of minutes to interview the effervescent Jim Molloy about what the weekend had in store. Here’s the story…
Me: What can you tell me about the music this weekend? Is it going to be that radical accordion trio from Mexico we’ve ben hearing rumours about?
Jim: We tried to get them but they had another gig booked. So we’re going with Dan Macauley and the pride of Antigonish, LifeSupport!
Me: Sometimes convention speakers are pretty lame-o. The kids have been in school for a few weeks now, and they’re tired of listening to out-of-touch adults drone on and on for 40 minutes. Can we expect something way different this year?
Jim: Absolutely! Mark Colwell is the Youth Director of the WOD (Western Ontario District), and he’ll be bringing the heat, for sure! Ian Green works with Next Level International, a church planting movement in Europe–he’s going to bend your mind! No, the students won’t be falling asleep.
Me: ZZZZZ… Oh, Sorry about that! I stayed up too late to watch the Canucks get killed last night! What else is going on this weekend?
Jim: I can’t believe you’re still a Cauncks fan! Why don’t you cheer for a good team, like the Montreal Canadiens?? As far as other stuff goes, we’ve got some interesting workshops lined up where students can discuss some relevant topics, including one session that’ll break everyone into guy/girl groups, where we can all REALLY talk!
What else… Let’s see: Sunday morning we’ll have a CD launch party with LifeSupport. Saturday night is going to see a parking lot party with music, food, inflatables, and food… oh, and don’t miss the Battle of the Bands to see which youth group can claim musical supremacy!
Me: Well, Jim, since this is a low-budget blog, I have to go work at my real job now, so ‘ll have to let you go, and thanks a bunch for taking the time to let me interview you. You’re a rock star!
Jim: No problem; I’m glad I could help you out. BTW, I’m not a rock star at all–I really like southern gospel!
Me: Oh, I didn’t know that. I’m sorry for you. Maybe you’ll grow out of it. Hopefully…
Lies. Tons of lies. I hate the Montreal Canadians. Pansies.
