I am a liturgical rock star
So I'm at the Episcopal General Convention right now, an enormous governing body that gathers every three years. With 1100+ delegates, it's actually the largest legislative body in the world (bigger than the US Congress, etc). I'm out here playing gigs and doing my thing. I brought a hundred of my new CDs with me in the hopes of building some buzz and making some extra cash (since my scholarship was cut in half for next year).
Well, after my gig Friday morning, I sold all one hundred CDs in under 30 minutes. The demand got so big that the Episcopal Bookstore started taking back orders, which at this point is about another 200 or so. My CD has become the most-sold item at this year's convention. The national church has decided to start selling it from its website. The Presiding Bishop of the United States asked me to play for his retirement party (about 5,000 people). The Archbishop of York (yes, this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Sentamu) wants to meet me and his chief of staff has called me to talk about getting me to England.
I've had crowds of people thrusting money at me, desperate to get a CD before they sell out. I've signed autographs. I've been hit on by gay altar boys. I got in a spat with a Bishop over liturgy and I won. I am a liturgical rock star.
