II GUYS are back!

And here's another kinda cool thing: Steven Billings will be performing songs from his 2nd release, "Old Luggage," which will be out by then. Steve has a duet with John on the CD - and perhaps they'll sing it there. When Steve was a kid at bible camp - guess who his camp counselor was? Yup, none other than Mr. Bob! I bet Steve could tell some interesting stories!

So who's coming? Anyone bought their tickets yet?

I stayed at this hotel last year... awesome place!

Honestly - Rob listened to you all. YOU wanted Bob - he got you BOB! "The Revival of II GUYS." The Guys haven't played for years - this will be fantastic!

But can he get Bob to play with GHF and perform a couple of original Petra tunes with the original line-up? Now that would be amazing. Or even the original line-up with John as lead singer? That would be a lot of fun. We could finally hear John sing Lucas McGraw.

last year the tickets were $20 for the convention this year $42, is the additional $22 because of Hartman's appearance?
I had someone approach me that wants to go, but pricing is holding them back flights/hotel/tickets. What can I say to explain the costing?
Still hoping to go this year with my wife and baby.

Daniel, It’s actually quite simple, my cost went up. A lot of things that were copmed last year are not being comped this year. I have to cover the cost some how. Understand that I don’t make one penny on this event. I just want to break even. When I did the math and realized that the ticket price had to go up, I decided to make it a two day event. $42 for a 2 day living room style convention is steel!
There is no corporate sponsor. This is a fan driven event. I certainly can not afford to put it on by myself.
Everyone asked me to do the convention again this year, so I am. Just about everyone asked me to see if I could get Bob Hartman. So I am making that happen as well. And as you know, nothing is free.
To help me keep the cost down the hotel is giving big discounts to the convention goers, $69 for a regular room and only $99 for a suite!
Considering how small and intimate this event is, I feel that $42 is a bargain.

It really IS a deal. Think of it -- you get:

II GUYS, Bob & John, which are getting together SPECIFICALLY for this event
GHF, the original Petra members, showcasing their first full-length CD since 1974
Almost two full days of music, fellowship and displays of various kinds. Throw in some raffles, and best of all: it's UP CLOSE & AS PERSONAL AS YOU CAN GET!

Yes, it's more than last year. But as Rob said: everything goes up in price, mainly because he doesn't have the comps like he did, and the musical line-up is expanding as well.

YOU ASKED FOR IT - ROB GOT IT - NOW COME AND ENJOY IT!

Yes I totally agree it is a good deal! my problem is getting time now, but I hope to go.

It wouldn't be a convention without you, Daniel!

ha ha, thanks Sue.
