My Vist to the Apocalrock and Meeting with Nightlion

I was going to be in the area and decided to stop by the Apocalrock Vistor’s Center. Pulling out of the Bountiful Court’s parking lot on my way to the Apocalrock, I was informed by my car that I had a tire puncture. Luckily, and unbeknownst to me, my 650i was equipped with run flat tires, so off I went.
James Muir was patiently waiting for me in the parking lot when I pulled up. We went inside and he gave me the official tour. It was a very nice facility and James was a gracious host.
A couple of personal observations:
I would imagine that many people in Utah would find Jame’s personal message to be of the most radical kind. James is attempting to share religious beliefs of personal urgency to him in a state where people tend to not be accepting of different beliefs.
James has put his time, energy and fortune all at the service of his conviction and belief, and that doesn't happen often in this world. I have to applaud that. When someone is truly passionate about something, they will suffer or endure anything for that passion. Listening to James describe his life, it’s clear that he has done just that for his passion and belief.
I myself am no longer religious in the sense that a long-ago boy thought he should be, but I can respond to the power of belief whether I agree or not, and when I find it in a person, I must respect it.
I respect James immensely. Thanks James.

You can't know how much fun it is for me to share my passion for the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am a man that has been perfectly ignored by too many and for too long. I even annoyed myself at how excited I got when somebody stopped by to pay attention. Thanks, it was a kick.

Thank you, Everybody Wang Chung. I've long maintained, that if there is anyone on this board truly Mormon, in the sense of Mormonism in the 1830s and 1840s, during the JSJr era, it is Nightlion. Your comments, Everybody Wang Chung, do nothing but confirm that for me.
I look forward to my own impending visit to the Apocalrock visitors center and talking to the prophet, Nightlion. (What day, Kish, is Kishapalooza II going to be?)

Thanks for the report, Everybody Wang Chung. As someone who admittedly can't seem to see a single thing on the Apocalrock, it'll be nice once I eventually have the man himself point out to me where to find these images.
When I get around to going there myself, maybe I'll post an announcement here so that anyone else who wants to go can come too--assuming Nightlion himself is down for something like that, of course.
Nightlion, do you keep regular hours at the visitors' center, or is it "by appointment only?"

I hold in my hand the keys of your doom. Impending IS the word.
If you leave without a sigh of: "woe is me, woe is me" I will have failed. ;)

Damn it, Nightlion, why do I respect and like you? You keep threatening my damnation.

Aptly down with it, thanks.
I try and keep myself available 4-7 evenings and can do all day Wednesday and Thursday for the most part. You can call 801-936-1253 to check if I am in or set up an appointment. Sometimes the answering machine is on. PM me and I will give out my cell #.
I am going to set up some weekly events like open classes and concerts. I got to get my landlord's marquee working for me.

I am more for your abundant and endless life. And you know it.

Should I be scared about coming to the visitors center and meeting you?

I bear you no ill will. Let us reason together. If a thunderbolt comes your way I will step in and take it on your behalf. My pleasure.
