So, another random Christian band came through here to play a show, and I think the title of this post betrays who it was. Yes, the Newsboys (insert girls screaming with delight here). I was much more excited about this show than the last one with Hillsong, though it was the opposite with most Salvadoreans, as Hillsong has songs in Spanish. But the Newsboys concert actually ended up being a lot better too. It was a free concert for charity -- had to bring in canned food -- but as we know some pretty awesome Salvadoreans, we also got VIP passes which allowed us seats way up front.

So we brought in our box of Captain Crunch -- separate from the food drive food, it's a Newsboys thing -- and got some awesome seats. There were maybe 4000 white plastic chairs set up neatly in rows in this huge convention center room at the fairgrounds, and there were soon 4000 stairs thrown haphazardly about as the Newsboys came on stage. People started standing up on chairs right in front of us and everyone just pushed towards the stage, despite MC's telling them they couldn't do any of this. But this is pretty characteristic of things here in that few Salvadoreans actually follow rules and there's hardly ever consequences for breaking them.

But we had tons of fun especially when the old classics come on, like Shine, Entertaining Angels, and Breakfast (which includes "Captain Crunch" in the chorus -- we threw some everywhere when this was sung). Yay for British bands. They seem like they're much more likely to come to a place like El Salvador. I guess their little island is too small for huge tours within itself.
