DAY1 GMA 2008–Esterlyn 

Howdy! My name is Luke Caldwell I am the singer for Esterlyn and it is a pleasure to meet your aquaintance. We want to thank ccmmagazine.com for asking us to blog each day during our first GMA. Hey that rhymed! Since this is our first GMA you could say we are pretty green. So far our favorite reference for GMA has been “give me attention week.” I think that is the main goal of GMA but I am hoping to be proven wrong.  

I got to bed at roughly 6:13am this morning after spending way to much time on ichat and Facebook. My soothing alarm hit me up at 9:37am. Yes that was roughly 3 hours and 24 minutes of sleep. I have issues.  So anyways it was time to make our way down the renaissance hotel. This is pretty much where everybody meets and greets and what not. We walked in through the glass doors and the madness “officially” began. Now we are a new band that has only had our album out for about a month and a half so most of our time here at GMA is going to be taking time to get acquainted with a variety of people. This is how it started for us.  

Our first interview was with American Bible Society. We walked into a suite where there was a green screen three cameras and some Dunkin Donuts. We talked about how the Bible has made an impact in our lives and also spent some time challenging believers to really allow God to speak into their individual’s lives through His Word. They gave us some blue and orange M&Ms when the interview was done. –GO BOISE STATE! We are from Boise, Idaho.  Anyways it was awesome. Our next interview was with TVU. This is a 24 hr music video channel that has recently added our debut video “We All Need” It was super laid back and the crew was sweet as pancakes smothered with syrup. We talked about the kutless tour and coffee. Huh? 

We had about 10 minutes to grab some Starbucks and then drive out to Murfreesboro where we had a show tonight with Kutless and Chris Taylor. It was radical. Well it is now 1:02am and my wake up call is approaching rapidly for day 2. A couple of the other guys our catching up on LOST right now. This is our life.

Tomorrow we will be filming video for this blog..  

Have a happy day
