hillsong album recording...


Well, another Hillsong album recording has come and gone, this time at the largest indoor venue in Sydney - Acer Arena at Sydney Olympic park. And my feet and legs are sore.

Not from all the standing through the live album recording though, especially seeing as though a certain someone told me that it started at 6pm, rather than 5pm, and so my posse were a lesiurely 40 minutes late. We like to make an entrance. Not that the ten thousand odd people seemed to mind. My legs are sore from the reserves football game I played right before album recording.

When we finally managed to drive around the entire Olympic park twice, find a carpark and walk inside to door 83, I got in trouble from one of the ushers. I don't usually drive across the city to get in trouble from seating ushers or hosts, but apparently today was different. I decided to use my phone to attempt to take a panoramic photo of the entire arena full of people, which is apparently a criminal act in section 83.

If I was asian, and sitting in section 84 I could have gotten away with it, and snapped shots all night. I guess it doesn't help being white with a white phone that looks a little too camera-like.

I did manage to snap one panoramic pic at the end of the night, and a couple of other small pics during the recording which didn't turn out. Oh, and I recorded the entire last song they played on my phone as people were leaving... I figured hey, I could record it, because they certainly weren't going to use it... too many empty seats. I'm not sure if I would post the video though, even though its grainy, sounds bad and is from a distance, I would hate to infringe on someone elses copyright.

Anyways, you should see the album 'One' in stores mid year, and if you look closely in the crowd - I'm pretty sure you won't see me. Or if you do, I will be the one being told off by the large Pacific Islander security guard.
