[Notes while on Rob Bell's Calling All Peacemakers tour.]

Wow! There was so much energy tonight. This was at the 1100 seat Tameside Hippodrome, and was again pretty much a sell-out. The audience did the north proud — loads of energy and feedback, even a wolf whistle for Rob!

The team was introduced to the great British delicacy of Fish and Chips (that’s deep fried battered cod and fries soaked in salt and vinegar to the American friends), so the carb count was high, high, high — ha ha. The crew at the venue were wonderful, really professional and made it such an easy experience.

The real highlight was a full page feature in the front part of the Manchester Evening News — with the great line — "Christianity is Rob’s Rock’n'Roll".
