Don’t You Love Those God Coincidences
December 4, 2009A long while back we had asked Nick Stanton and the band to return to That Thing for 2010. Unfotunately, Nick had hit a conflict at his local church that was going to prevent his involvement. So, the search began.
After a ton of research, I hit upon a guy in the Chicago area that I thought was a great fit. After some conversations, he began the process of working his schedule at his church.
Time passes….just this morning I was thinking to myself, "Self, I need to call him on Monday, when I’m back from vacation, and close this up one way or another."
So, tonight at dinner, 5:59pm, Labamba’s with the family; my wife and I are having a conversation about the latin Nick Stanton working the grill…then I get a text from Nick Stanton. So, I call him up and we chat; his conflict is gone and the band is free. Cool, but I was pretty sure I had the right fit looking at his schedule for the last three weeks. (Can you feel the turmoil?)
I get home, check my email and discover one from the worship leader I’d been speaking with. It’s official and final, he won’t be free. The time on his email: 5:59pm.
So, I just spoke with Nick again. He and the band are on board and ready for 2010. Fantastic.

So, we’ve added a little widget to the new website, we call it the Extra Tix Widget.
