Concordia University

Concordia University had us perform at their school on September 2nd, and of course the show was awesome. A unique highlight of the show involved Jonathan trying to ride a hand cart dolly like it was a Segway on stage, but that's not what I want to talk about right now.
I want to talk about how our GPS unit makes us totally ignorant about where we are and what's around us. On the day of this show we flew in to Milwaukee, rented a car, and plugged the address of the school into the GPS. The GPS tells us where to turn when we need to turn, and nothing else. Back in the days before the world of GPS, Mapquest and Google maps, we all had to look at the atlas to figure out our directions, and in doing so, we would learn a lot about where we were and what was around us. As it was, on Wednesday we arrived at Concordia University and noticed a large body of water next to us. "Is that the ocean?" "No, it's a great lake... what lake is it?" "Must be lake Michigan, but I'm not sure." If we had taken the time to look at the atlas we would have known exactly what lake it was before we ever got anyplace near it, but as it was, we were surprised to see a lake there at all. So, even though the SHOWOFF Show! is now traveling more than ever, our geography knowledge has remained stagnant and probably even diminished because of our wonderful world of fancy information gadgets.
Anyway, here are some pics from the show, including some pics of us next to the lake.
