Funny Story

So as I've mentioned before, I'm addicted to Twitter.  A couple of months ago, I got an email that one of the members of the David Crowder Band was following me on Twitter.  So, I followed him back.  Clearly, he became my favorite!  I have been lucky enough to tweet back and forth with him several times over the past week.  My best guess is that there is some sort of race between the band members to see who can get the most Twitter followers b/c within 3 days of tweeting with Mike, I was being "followed" by 3 more members of the DC*B. 

Fast forward to the weekend.  I got an email that Chris August was following me on Twitter...so I followed him back.  For those of you who don't know, Chris is the writer/singer of "Starry Night" (among other songs) which was named the Dove Award 2011 Song of the Year.  Chris also won "New Artist of the Year" for 2011.  Chris is currently on tour with the David Crowder Band. 

Well on Monday, Chris tweeted:

"I got yelled at by TSA for trying to walk through the scanner with pens in my shirt pocket...She was embarrassed."

So I tweeted back to Chris, "So you're saying that YOU are wearing pens in your pocket and SHE was the one embarrassed? ;-)"

And within minutes he tweeted me back:  :"@jlanford look at the pic...the Pens are printed on the shirt"  

Oops!  So I tweeted him back that I was the one embarrassed now.  :-) 

I thought it was cool that out of his 20,000+ followers I was one of 2 people that he replied to about the shirt. It definitely brightened up my Monday.

Here is a picture that Bwhack from DC*B tweeted of Mark, Mike & Chris August on the tour bus.  This is why me and so many others are getting messages from the guys.

I have to say that the David Crowder Band must be the nicest band in the world.  Too bad this is their last tour....
