Ichthus 2010

This year marked my first year ever going to Ichthus. If you don't know what that is... well, where have you been living? hehe, only kidding. Ichthus is a christian music festival held every year in Wilmore, Kentucky. I had always heard of it but had never gone. This year, though, I found out that BarlowGirl was going to be there.... that helped me make the decision that I was going to go! Then a friend told me about how she volunteers and gets a discounted ticket. Well that did in for me too. How could I pass up going to this festival and miss seeing BarlowGirl? Especially for such a low price! All together I paid $45. Wristbands for the entire festival was $99. And I got to help out with Remedy Drive's merch table! Those guys are the most awesomest guys ever! haha..

So not only was the price unbeatable, the experience will forever be one of the greatest experiences in my life!! The events leading up to the festival, not so great... But I learned a very valuable lesson; God IS FAITHFUL!!!! He heard my yearning and desire to go to and through everything, He made it possible! Even when I was ready to give up once and for all, He came through for me! And I cannot be more thankful to Him! I left the festival with a fire burning inside that I thought would never burn again. But it did! And it still is! I recommitted to Him and I haven't felt more passionate for Him.

So yes all of the bands I saw were phenomenal! The people I met were awesome! And I even got to meet Hearts of Saints a band from Kentucky and one that Scream E-zine interviewed (and I just so happen to be a member!). They were beyond amazing live! And they're all such nice guys!

So... my mind is totally made up. I WILL be going back to Ichthus next year!! The experience is one that I want to live over and over! I wish Ichthus was everyday! lol...
