Home sweet OKIEhoma

The humidity, the crazy drivers.....it could only mean one thing, yep we have come home for a lil bit. We arrived home this morning at 9am, and today is special Ed's bday. So if you wanna send him a happy bday email you can do so at eddie@radialangel.com hehe. We have a few days off, that is well needed after a long stay on the west coast. I am finally going to the dentist so pray for that as I get my wisdom teeth taken out on wed morning. Nothing real intersting to share except the show in sedona, arizona was fun. I met some new friends and hung out and just had a good old time. Except they were kinda mean to me lol.(wink) And I do appologize to Jessica, Hannah and Rachel( i think all 3 went) for not being able to tell you the sun show was cancelled hope you can forgive me. Well I'm getting a lil tired so I think I will take a nap. Have fun kiddies

found a computer

Hey everyone... I found a computer on the road and thought I would drop a note to let you guys know how things are going. We are now in arizona and will be for another couple of days. It is lovely here but it is a hot as an oven. Anyway, we have been having a great time and meeting lots of cool people. We are actually going to be home for a few days at the end of july and looking forward to that. I can't really think of anything exciting going on at this point so I guess I will just stop typing now.

Been awhile...

Hello all you out there in Radial Angel land....its been a few days since we have posted anything to let ya'll know whats going on. Well basically our laptop crashed, I think a virus ate windows. Anyways so we cant really keep you up to date on things now. Well we are still out here in cali, man this is such a beautiful state. We all went to san fransico yesterday...that by far is the coolest(temperature) place in cali. It was a high of 60 degress I think. I drove across the Golden Gate Bridge...such a nice bridge. Then we all split up and did our own thing. I went walking around with Adam(guitarist from unified front) and we watched street performers and what not. Ate a nice steak dinner on pier 39...NICE!! Well anyways to share some great stuff....we led worship in san diego for 3 night services at a place called The Flood....it was amazing. There was about 500 to 600 people in each service and to see them all worshipin God, truely a blessing. Well I need to be going now...I finally got my new Gibson Les Paul in on sun...its beautiful I named it Jasmine. Check out the nice people at Gibson at www.Gibson.com. Have a wonderful and blessed rest of the week.(www.livejournal.com search for CrazyJared)<---thats my personal online journal

a bad day turned good

As Jared said in his last posting yesterday started good and ended bad. Today, on the other hand started bad and ended good. I got up a six and worked on the trailer breaks until three. Adam and Eric from unified front did most of the hard labor. Anyway, after a long frustrating day the trailer is fixed and it won't cost us a dime.It turns out the brakes were still under warranty. So the problem was the people with the warranty didn't want us to have anyone fix it but them and the one guy in town that could fix it couldn't do it until next week. So after much discussion I convinced them to just pay for the parts and let us do it ourselves. Anyway, long story short, we fixed the trailer and missed our show today. that is always bad. the cool thing though is after I talked to the guy from the show we replanned the show for a day we have off next week and everything is going to work out better than it would have if we would have gone today. The people we are staying with are feeding us and taking care of us very well. that are a true blessing. We are also getting the optunity to lead worship for them at a college night. so you see tonight is going to be great night and the tour is going to work out smoother than planned out before. Anyway, if ever bad breaks can be the hand of god working then this would be the time. I think I am going to take a nap now while everyone is at the beach.

Good day gone bad...

well today was a great day till we got to the place we are staying at tonight. when we pulled up to the house we are stayin at...our trailer brakes starting jackin up. keep in mind we just bought our new trailer about a week ago. well we tried to see whats up, but we just cant get our fingers on the problem, so we are waking up at 6am to start workin on it. then we get inside the house and i turn on our laptop and its jacked up bad....i guess a virus ate our laptop. well anyways just thought id share some bad news, but just keep praying for us. we are keepin our heads up....God has it all worked out. Anyways chat at y'all later!!!(www.livejournal.com-crazyjared)

DRUM SET FOR SALE!!!!

Hey this is tommy from the band and, i will be selling my orange county drum set. Its a four piece tom sizes 12, 15 and 16 and a 18x22 kick. It did not come with a snare when i purchased it so no snare comes with it. I'm only selling it for enough to pay for my new kit....I'm asking only $1700 and the list price is $3700. If youre interested please contact me through my personal email which is RadialDrummer@hotmail.com. Thanks a lot ....

go west young man

Here we are... in salt lake city. Half way to cali and having a lot of fun. Last night as we were going through wyoming I had the best praise and worship time I have ever had. Which is odd because I was driving in a van on a highway going about 80 miles an hour. Oh wait, Tommy was driving... we were doing 65. :) It is hard to explain... something about the beauty of Wyoming and seeing the sunset over that landscape. It was amazing... Anyway, we had a great time last night hanging out in Saltlake city. we met a cool guy named aaron who worked at a gas station and we roamed around a park until two in the morning chasing ducks. I guess that is what you call living the rock and roll life style. Anyway, that is it for now... see you guys at shows... talk at ya later!

on the road again....

Whenever we hit the road i always wanna sing that song..."on the road again, just cant wait to get out on the road again.." not that i dont enjoy some time off, but its been too long. So we are off on the rest of our tour headed to Chanute, ks...should be a really cool show. I love playin at the fire escape, so hope to see all ya'll out there as usual. A lot of stuff has been going on in the RA camp, some i cant really discuss at this moment, but some i can. Just been in prayer for us as we change out some things in our ministry. But some good news to share, we have been blessed with a Gibson guitar endorsement. So go to www.gibson.com and check out their stuff...they are really nice people over there. when you get a chance check out the new East West record i think its really good. well we head to the west coast this month so hope to see you all out there. Keep us and unified front in your prayers as we do God's work. Thank you all so much and we hope you like we have in store for you on our next album. (www.livejournal.com- crazyjared)
