Breather of the Month: Justin Monuteaux
November 13, 2009
Every month, NeedToBreathe.net - in conjunction with the NeedtoBreathe Breathers - will recognize an NTB fan of distinction. These fans are members of the "Breathers" and have demonstrated a considerable passion for the band.
Justin Monuteaux has been named the first.
Here's why he is Breather of the Month:
Justin Monuteaux
"Justin his wife Heidi and their 5 children live in Maple Valley, Washington. Justin is an avid indoorsman and a passionate Needtobreathe evangelist. In fact, he would probably be stalking the band if it weren't so creepy and unbiblical."
I'm a faithful Breather in Seattle, WA. I have a few items that I believe are worthy of some of those fabulous Breather points. I'm hoping you'll agree and kindly extend some to me. I offer the following four examples of needtobreathe fan fanaticism as "Exhibit A" of my case for the coveted Breather points:
(**Sidebar - The reader should note that all of the activities below have been faithfully and skillfully executed while working a full time job (that's 40 hours per week!!), maintaining a healthy, loving marriage (wife is also a HUGE Need fan) and raising 5 children (who are also Need fans) who think "Washed by the Water" is actually called "Daddy Was a Preacher" and who also think "the stinkin sick version" of "Go Tell it on the Mountain" is supposed to be played year round).
1. I met 2 men from Nashville, Tennessee at a recent Men's retreat. Neither of them had heard of Needtobreathe so I played The Heat for them from my iPod while adroitly adding anecdotal tid bits about Bear, Bo, Seth and Joe and life in Possom Kingdom that I've picked up from interviews and such. They've both become instant fans and have since purchased Daylight and The Heat!
2. I managed to get on the air at my local radio station (105.3 FM) giving mad crazy props to Needtobreathe.
3. I call several times/day to request the new single (Lay 'em Down) to be played. Same station as above.
4. I'm also on the Listener Advisory Board at the same station and always rank Need's songs as a 5 (on a scale as 1 to 5) and tell them to play it MORE!
Become a Breather for your chance to become a Breather of the Month!
