The Town of Odyssey

I thought I would make a topic about this since I don't think a lot of you AIO fans actually know about it.. Fort Blanket Revue is kind of new thing Phil Lollar put together with Will Ryan and Katie Leigh. They thought it would be super cool to bring Adventures in Odyssey live shows to the fans by doing shows locally around the country.

• Phil Lollar (creator of Adventures in Odyssey, Jungle Ham and Friends, and the upcoming series Iliad House)
• And Special guests such as Chris Anthony (AIO Host), Andre Stojka (John Avery Whittaker), Jess Harnell (Wooton Bassett), and many more!

As far as I know they've done three shows, performing at..

• Azusa Pacific University

• INCH Conference in Lansing, Michigan
  
• Southern Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky (happening today/this weekend I'm assuming. The event is 'closed to the public' so I don't have much info about it.)
  
  ^They built a "Whit's End" on the stage.
  

Anywaaaay, if you have an FB account it would be cool if you showed them some support by "liking" their facebook page, and maybe letting them know where you'd like to see them next. Also, by following them you are sure to keep up with all the latest news on upcoming events/shows!




*prays they come to my state soon* =p They are currently 8 hours away from meee (in Kentucky)!

YAY! This actually pretty exciting *dances* So will they be performing in other states as well?

I've heard of this, and live in the hope that they make it close to me one day! It looks like a ton of fun! I've been at two live shows (both in Colorado Springs at FOTF HQ) and they were both wonderful experiences.

I'm sure they will perform wherever people will host them! So yes, their goal and hope is to travel all over the US. Currently, I don't know where they plan to go next, but we shall seeee.

Awwww *hugs snubs* ^_^ Yeah, I might drag Penguin along if they do come here xDDD

If they do they'd probably go to Houston, San Antonio, or Austin and I live probably 8-10 hours from them

Penguin lives on the lonely side of Texas.

*cries* I know I know...Well if it was on a weekend we could make it a road trip type thing for y'all! Well all of this based on the wish of them coming to Texas and all =P

I'm not a big fan of their songs, but the rest sounds pretty good.

Here is a video highlighting the AIO themed Fall Festival at Southern Seminary. It looked like soooo much fun.

Wow, it looks like that was a fantastic event! I love the idea of that kind of thing, and I hope that they get to do more. I loved seeing all the smiling kids (and adults!) who were obviously having a wonderful time.

I believe Phil said that to get them to come perform, we have to talk with churches and other organizations to get the ball rolling. It certainly can't hurt if lots of people ask and volunteer for it!

Here's hoping they come to OK.

I add my vote to yours Peachy, here's hoping they come to OK!!!!
