... over

Exhausted. That is a pretty fair way to sum up the state of the team right now. Exhausted and yet... excited. Happy. Pick an adjective.

interPLAY is over, and it was pretty darn fantastic. We ran our own little stage - the "Kaos Kreative Cafe" - and it was the talk of he weekend. And when I say talk I mean our small, little area was packed with people. It was really cool. We had a lot of really high-quality acts performing so that there was no down time. And the acts covered a really wide variety of genres of music. We had some country acts, straight up acoustic guitar, rock bands, a worship band, a really cool DJ... to much fun to handle. Some of the team members also got involved in some of the acts as well to show off teir talents. Made me wish I had brought my clarinet...

We also preformed the Lifehouse skit five times this weekend, bringing the total number of time prefomed up to ten. It was really cool though because each time we did it at the Cafe (twice each night) the place was packed with people. We had some really positive feedback about it and it looked as if it really touched some of the people we have really been praying for.

Overall, even though it was a lot of hard work to set it up and decorate and do all the little detail things, it was a totally awsome and fun weekend. A good way to spend our last one here. Yes people, that is correct. In just over four days we will be heading home.

In fact, some of our team is already headed out. Yesterday we said goodbye to Jenn, who was headed off to BC to start a west-coast journey that is taking her down to California. And today Jay headed back home to Ontario so that he could make it back in time to start work at another camp. So now the team is down to twelve and we will miss our team-mates greatly.
