Novemeber 8th - School Scene of Whispers in the Dark Video

Victory Bible Institute let us use their hallways to shoot footage for the school scene in the video.

Novemeber 15th - Paintball

This was my first time playing paintball with AHYEAH (camp doesn't count becasue I was put out of the game before I pulled the trigger). We had tons of fun, and I discovered that paintball is more fun in the cold (and that Dave is a beast).

November 19th - Fantastic Friday @ the Intermediate High School

Whew, where do I start. This was the most insane, exhausting, want to curl up in a corner and cry thing that I have ever done and will ever do (hopefully). For six weeks, my entire world surrounded this event. The last week before, I couldn't sleep at night because of my mind whirling with things to do. (I thank God soooooo much for a faithful, hardworking, pull-together mentality Events Team that we have today).
This event featured two bands, one dance team, radio commercials, football games, human foose ball, food, drinks, a velcro wall, an inflatable obstical course, fliers, t-shirt give aways, raffles, popcorn, sign up table and more. And all of this was on an empty field without lighting, therefore we needed monster generators and industrial flood lights trucked in (thank you Bob Stillman), along with platforms for the bands (which I planned on getting there but not getting back).
The sum of the event was 2 full youth groups (AHYEAH and META3:14 from Four Square) plus a scattered few that popped in from the radio announcments and fliers. The youth had fun, but the greatest gain was the connections made with the schools, radio, rental companies, bands, gaming companies, and members of our church.

November 20th - Creation Fest

A sweeeeeet music concert featuring Kutless, TFK, Pillar, KJ-52, Fireflight, Worth Dying For, Run Kid Run, Capital Lights, and Esterlyn. It may have been one of the greatest collections of Christian rock bands to date (in my opinion), but sadly only a couple of the youth went.
