Building 429 Concert

Last night's concert with After Edmund, Addison Road and Building 429 was off the charts. We took a group of middle school students to outback for dinner (my favorite restaurant) then headed over to Vero High for the concert at 10pm. It was really cold outside...but inside the temperature was rising.

The show did not end until 12:30! One of the ministries they were supporting was world vision an organization that for $30 a month allows you to sponsor a child in a third world country. I had the opportunity to take my son "Colin" with me and when challenged to sponsor a child he raised his had. I saw his child like faith and told my wife we need to follow his lead "even though he is only 5". He heard the story of the hurt and pain and he said he wanted to help. So, we have a little girl from Mexico that we are now sponsoring.

The comment below is from Jason the lead vocals on how they named the band 429.

Jason: It's actually based on Ephesians 4:29 which says "Let nothing unwholesome come out of your mouth, except that which is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." And that seemed like a pretty good place to take a stand. We play quite a few secular venues, and we're Christian guys and we want to wear our faith on our sleeve, but we don't want to slap somebody on the head with our Bible. So this seemed like the perfect way to do that, because the more people ask us what our name means, the more we have a chance to talk about what we believe.

I had seen Building 429 in concert in several different venues in years past...but last night placed them in my top 10 all time shows. The lights, music, and show was awesome.

On another note there was these two guys to the left of us and two rows down that decided that they were going to put on their own show for the audience. These two guys had no clue that they were even at a Christian concert...CLUELESS. These young man started dancing "Micheal Jackson" style and did not stop until the show ended. It made for a good laugh.

Thank you middle school for an awesome evening!
