A Needle and Haystack Life.: March 2010

So, it all started about four years ago when my dad suprised me with my first Switchfoot concert in Nasvhille, Tennessee. I had been a Switchfoot fan for a while, but this changed everything. It was one of the best experiances of my life. I made a sign that said "Tim, please hand me your pic!" that I was going to hold up during the show for my favorite member of the band to see. Tim Foreman, worlds best (and most attractive) bass player. When my dad told me to make a sign for him, I thought he was insane. Turns out; he was right. After their closing song, Dare You to Move, sure enough Tim reached down and handed me a pic. From then on, Switchfoot concerts have pretty much been my life. I have traveled to Tennessee, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, and even their hometown of San Diego, California to see them, for a grand total of 19.
