Hey there folks, John here with my second road report.
Just to catch you up to speed for those of you who may not know this, but I’m in the middle of a 2 weeks road trip going across Canada doing filming for my upcoming Documentary “The Prince of Peace – The God of War”. A look at the Christian Right an it’s support of war despite the apparent Pacifist teachings of Christianity’s founder – Jesus.
I’ve already hit Thunder Bay, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon… and right now I’m in the great “City of Champions” Edomonton Alberta. It’s been a great trip so far. While in Edmonton I’m staying with some old friend Curt and Kim… and tonight I’m stayin at my buddy Colin’s place with his wife Elaine (yes… Colin will be there too).
Last night was FANTASTIC!!!! My friend Curt had tickets to GAME 6 of the Edmonton Oilers vs. Detroit Red Wing playoff series! Detroit was seeded #1 and Edmonton (Who hasn’t won a playoff series in like 8 years) was #8. Edmonton clintched the series last night and this city went BANANNAS!!!! I’m not kidding… the whole town went totally psycho! It was a great experience to be at. I’l post some footage of the after party on my personal site later.
Tonight I lucked out again… my friend Colin has an extra ticket to the “Our Lady Peace” concert here in town. Yay!!! Boy did I pick the right time to come through town.
Tomorrow morning I get on a plane and fly to Vancouver BC. I have an interview there at Trinity Western University at 9am, and then another interview at Columbia Seminary at 3pm. Then I get on a plane and fly back to Edmonton that same night. Busy day. Two more interview in Alberta (Calgary and Lethbridge), and then I start my journey home. I’ll stop off in Saskatoon again for a day or 2 and then Regina… then home. (It’s about a 35 hour drive home from Edmonton).
Thanks for the emails. They’re nice to get when on the road!
