Today we went to Louisville Slugger Bat Factory & Museum.  Here’s the 120 foot bat outside the building.

Somebody needs to tell Babe, ‘Don’t play ball inside’.

We were given the opportunity to hold one of Mickey Mantle’s “Game Used” bats.  For a baseball fan this is almost church.

Unfortunately for us, we had to give it back.  Man, those little Louisville Slugger workers are fast….

Hey everybody.  If you haven’t noticed that we have a new website, you must have not visited in a while.  We forgive you.

Take a look around, let us know what you think.  We’re still playing with some ideas, looking forward to some new ideas, more interactivity and yes, more Cover Tune Grab Bags.

What do you think?

If you follow us on Twitter, you may have heard already that yesterday the Space Shuttle Atlantis woke up to ‘I Can Only Imagine’. How cool is that?!! Above, is the audio from that wake up call.

It’s a complete honor to be a part of something like that.

Shooting Guns With MercyMe

Today we had the chance to go to a shooting range with our merch guy, Marlon’s brother who happens to be a U.S Marshall. If this music thing doesn’t work out we might have a chance at some sort of law enforcement…. or cowboys.

The MercyMe Crew Hunt

November 12, 20096 Comments

crew

See these guys?  They are on the road with us every show.  They are the ones that set up stuff and make things work.  They are also the guys that you are going to be looking for once you are in the building.  Why are you going to look for them?  Because each day they are going to have two coupons for free CD’s from the merch table.  All you have to do is know the ‘code word’ to get a coupon from them.  Each day we will Tweet a code word before the show.  The Tweet will look something like this:  MM Crew Hunt:  ”Guitar”. Then you’d go up to one of these guys and say “Guitar” and they’d give you a coupon.  Seems easy right?  Now, these guys only have two coupons each so once they are out, they are gone, so you need to hurry and find them.

There is also a “mystery” crew guy out there named Dustin.  He was too shy to get his picture taken so you don’t get to know what he looks like.  Here’s a hint.  He’s running sound.  So there it is.  Come to the show and Follow Us On Twitter for a chance to say hi to our crew boys and pick up a free CD.
