The weather's getting a little warmer, and the spirits have started to reawaken after a long winter's hibernation. That can only mean one thing: Time for a big ol' tent revival!

And who brings more reverent excitement in service of the Lord or whoever than Washington State's Old Time Relijun? Arrington de Dionyso and friends, still fresh off last year's completion of their Lost Light trilogy (my, how these relijius nuts love their trinities) with Catharsis in Crisis-- which featured Pitchfork's 98th favorite song of 2007, "Indestructible Life!"-- are headed out on quite an evangelizing mission this spring, which will span continents and openers and hopefully at least one instance of speaking in tongues. It's crazy when that happens! Catch your share of the fervor at the following spots.
