Baseball and Stephen Christian



It was a beautiful day in May (2010) when we all headed out to see Anberlin in Edinboro, PA at a youth center called 'The Hangout'. When we got there we disovered that there was no power! Not only at 'The Hangout' but in the whole town of Edinboro. We found a little bar with the lights out hoping they were serving despite the power outage...and they were! So we hung out in there for a little while.

After chillin in the bar for awhile we headed outside to find the first band performing an acoustic set in the parking lot. We listened from afar hoping the power would come back on. Meanwhile the members from Anberlin and Story of the Year decided they were going to play catch in the parking lot. Just a little aside, these tickets were a birthday present to my sister who absolutely loves Anberlin. We were watching them play and then who comes out of the bus? Stephen Christian, the lead singer of Anberlin! My sister and I could not pass up this photo op! I jokingly asked whether she realized that these were VIP tickets?! We laughed and walked over and asked Stephen if we could take a picture with him. He graciously obliged!

The power came back on about 10 minutes later and the night continued to be amazing. Story of the Year rocked it out and Anberlin was impressive as usual!
