Pete and Jeff alight from the tour bus looking for T-Bone (the host of Real Videos). |
Meanwhile, T-Bone (who appears to be caught in a magical time warp in which night has already come) can't get backstage to interview them, because the security dude is making him wait in line. |
Here's a random airdome shot. |
"That T-Bone... disses us again... looks like it's up to us." |
Pete and Jeff show off their pet Supertone (Matt Morginsky, the lead singer). |
Matt is induced to wave shyly to the camera. |
An introduction to on-the-road catering-- Peter shows us the cherry cobbler (which sounds cooler when he says it.) |
Jeff talks about "something dear to our hearts-- transportation." |
Of course he means the bikes, which the the Newsboys take on tour and ride at every opportunity. (I saw them there! Parked just like that! Why didn't I get my picture next to them? Why? Why? Why?) |
Peter shares some fascinating details about the structure and operation of the airdome. |
Peter's still talking, and Jeff is beginning to snooze. (He can't help it-- narcolepsy, you know.) |
Look, you can see the shadow of the video camera on Peter's head! It's fun to be bald. :) |
"Did you know that if you walk around this dome four times you've walked a mile? Did you know that?" |
"The most expensive thing on the tour so far is the toilet truck." |
The Discobug. Some lucky fan won it-- all I know is it wasn't me. |
Jeff shows us the food stand "for fans who want their little bit of grease before the show." Why couldn't the Newsboys offer to share their cherry cobbler? That's what I want to know. |
The merch getting unpacked. See that poster? It's now hanging over my bed. :) |
Pastor Bill Furler gets dragged into the show: "It's Real Videos, Dad-- you're gonna be famous now!" |
Like father, like son (more or less). Look, they cancel each other out! |
A nice profile of Pete's dad. |
He's nothing if not enthusiastic: "It's good to be here, great to travel with the Newsboys! Been with them for some time... twelve years now... What a mighty group they are! This is my son Peter, I'm proud of him, and this here is Jeff Frank-- he's a great guy too. It's been a great tour and it's gonna be a wonderful show tonight! Come along!" |
Peter: "It's sold out, Dad." Bill: "Oh!" |
Jeff: "Thanks Pastor Furler, I'll give you that 50 bucks later. You did a great job-- just like the script I wrote!" |
