I was going to make a snarky comment about what Pasadena’s city leaders might think of Houston planting these signs along Spencer, but when I went to look up info on the event, I realized that despite the name and location, this is not a celebration put on by the City of Houston. I should have realized that when I didn’t get a letter from the mayor encouraging me to go. Nope, much to my surprise, Cityfest is a religious revival/concert.

Amazing how they managed to forget to mention that little detail in all the advertisement, isn’t it?

Envision the biggest party you’ve ever attended. Multiply attendance by 100 or even 1,000. Now add two full days of fun, awesome Christian bands, an exciting children’s area, world-class skateboarding and BMX demos, and opportunities to see your friends and family come to Jesus Christ. That, my friend, is a Luis Palau Festival.

Makes me even more aggravated/embarassed that I was mentally grumbling about how a no-name performer was the headliner, when they had much better known artists.

So I’ll just note that it’s a damn shame that Christianity has to hide itself under layers of marketing, while we’re supposed to bend over backwards to “understand” the religion of jihad.
