The influence and effects of middle east cusine on the Revivalists of the church basement roadshow
By
Mark Scandrette
In the memorandum that we sent out to hosts for the Church Basement Roadshow, we delicately requested a healthy meal before the show (i.e. No pizza).

While chatting with Mickey Maudlin after our show in San Francisco on Thursday, he happened to mention that Harper One had flown N.T. Wright over for the day to appear on The Colbert Report. Well, the adrenaline rush of the Rollin’ Gospel Revival makes it hard to get right to sleep at night, so I…
