Please Pray for the Guys in StorySide:B

We were notified by some friends of the festival that Ron from the band StorySide:B recently passed away. We at AgapeFest want to extend our sincere condolences and our prayers out to the band and the families this is affecting, and ask you, our friends, to keep them in your prayers as well.

StorySide:B played AgapeFest 2008 last year and were incredible. Just great guys and a joy to share a weekend with. We are so sorry to hear about their loss and pray that God’s peace would surround them in this time of grief.

The band made a short post on their MySpace blog and we’ll direct you there now to leave your wishes and prayers for these brothers in Christ.

Big Things Coming!

Hey Peeps,

Well this semester is going to basically be the best ever! I’m sorry I haven’t posted as much as I would have liked, but it’s a bit difficult doing too many credits in a semester and be a director of the best festival ever! But, I’m mellowing out this semester, and investing pretty much all my spare time to this festival. I was going over some ideas while on Christmas vacation with my family and got antsy…I have so much in my head and so much excitement for this festival that I just wish it was here already!

As you’ve seen we already have our Main Stage line-up done! This is huge ya’ll. I’m not sure if you remember last year but we were definitely not this far ahead. Now we are starting to look at bands for Stage 2. So that is pretty awesome. This selection is done by a student-led staff that has a majority say and we try and bring in more local bands. Let us know who you think should be up there!

Battle of the Bands: I know some of you are way stoked about applying for that again this year. We have a huge thing coming your way to add onto our Battle of the Bands. It’s going to be way more competitive this year but that is because the reward is massive! Once we have all the info we need either myself, Joel or our Artist Relations guy, Micah, will fill you in on all that info. We are going to be taking submissions through Sonicbids.com which is how we did it last year too. That will probably all come around in February and early March.

Well, I won’t bore you with much more but I just wanted to let you know about some exciting stuff that is coming your way this semester!

Have a great one!

Lys…the Director

Lots to do, lots to do!

Hey again everyone! Rachel here (or REV if you’ve seen the videoblogs! Hope you’re enjoying those),

I’m taking a moment before my counterpart AshleyJo gets here to update you all on what has been going on around here. Students taking interterm have just returned, so most of our staff isn’t even back yet. It’s a relatively quiet time on the GC campus… some students return and take one class for three weeks, so it can be a bit intense, but definitely a fun time!! And it allows for a jump start on AgapeFest fun!! Which is great! Right now we’re working on making tickets available through the Greenville College Bookstore, so soon that will be an opportunity! You should come pay us a visit and get your tickets while you’re here!!

The flier is in the works and what I’ve seen so far, it’s lookin’ good!! So hopefully you’ll see those floating around soon. I hope everyone is excited about the lineup [I know I am! Skillet, woo!] Keep your eyes peeled for super cool updates as the staff starts to return to campus and things begin to pick up like crazy!

In the mean time, AshleyJo and I will try to keep you entertained and informed with videoblogs of shenanigans and randomness!! Let us know if you have any ideas or what you would like to see from us :-)

Jesus loves YOU!!!

Lots of stuff. Make sure you get your Early Bird tickets — you can only be early for so long before you’re… not early?
