We have two videos coming, like, really soon. (more details to come).

In one of them, we needed to add a ping pong ball to our conversation.  Check it.

Johnny & Chachi modeling our new t-shirts

We finally have t-shirts!! Has there been a lot of requests? You bet there has. Okay maybe not a lot, but we believe strongly in ‘if you build it, they will come’… I think that’s Ephesians.

The shirt says ‘JOHNNY & CHACHI: Two guys with dreams… sometimes nightmares’

Chachi and I (Johnny) had an extended gig over at Valley Ranch Baptist Church.  We had 6 or so ’sets’ to do and had a lot of fun.  Was my fly down during the first set?  Yes.  But I think we were able to bounce back from that.  We did several of our song medleys and did a special version of ‘Pants on the Ground‘.

A highlight was hanging out with the guys from Detour 180.  Great guys with very convincing New Zealand accents. Here they are in picture form:

Thanks to Valley Ranch, Coppell First Methodist and First Baptist, Coppell for allowing us to be a part of your Winter Weekend.  Lots of fun.

Some guy that looks like Chachi took care of our booth.  Nice enough guy.

Chachi and I worked extremely hard to cram 25 songs in under 2 minutes.  Our goal was to celebrate what December 25th represents… the birth of Christ. I was extremely happy with our efforts to hit ‘25′… until the end.

Johnny and I have done it again.  We’ve made another video.

If you are in a small group, watch it.
If you are thinking about getting in one, watch it.
If you hate small groups, watch it.
If you hate Johnny and Chachi, don’t watch it.

Download Killer Community Tips from Igniter Media

We would call him a guru in ‘all things’ marriage, but that would be selling him short.  Gary Smalley helped us with our latest Killer Tips video… this time we tackle marriage.  I know what you’re thinking, ‘Guys, you tackled marriage with The Don’t Song’.  You’re correct, we did.  But we felt we simply had more to say.  A lot more.

Cross your fingers that Gary doesn’t see the ‘final’ edit and count himself out of the video.  That would bite.

Lots of churches do community groups or small groups… in fact, there are enough out there doing these types of groups that we thought we’d throw our hat in the ring and help out.  We came up with 6 tips that if used properly, will revolutionize your small group.  That’s why we call them ‘killer’.  ‘killer’ equals ‘revolutionary’ in my book.

Here are pictures from the shoot.  More to come.

Johnny and Chachi trying to remember lines

Our last take of the day. Whew.

The dude shooting our video. Never caught his name.

Artsy shot. Artsy as all get out.

Johnny watching a take. He loves watching himself.

Great shot of the two of us.

Our Christmas Card 2009

So, we had a great time at the Scribble Sessions and the Tim Hawkin’s Concert.  Thanks Nevan Hooker and Chris Ball… lots of fun hanging with you guys.  Thanks to everyone who laughed at us.  If you didn’t laugh, we’re simply not going to thank you.

Dancing on stage to the 90's Medley

Our videos didn't sell quite as well as Tim Hawkins.

Tired after a long day. Calgone take us away.

Here are Rob and Braun with Tim Hawkins.

Scribble Sessions postcard

Chachi and I are looking forward to being a part of the Scribble Sessions, a youth ministry conference.  It’s coming soon… October 9th, so if you are a youth guy or gal and want to go, register here.

We got their nice glossy postcard brochures today.  But we can’t tell if they are ‘insulting’ us in the postcard.  It reads ‘Eight Youth Ministry Minds’ and then has 8 boxes with faces… However, the eighth box is a picture of me AND Chachi.  So, while we appreciate them saying we have a youth ministry mind (we get that a lot), I’m thinking they needed to say NINE minds… instead of EIGHT.  It could imply several things.  1) Johnny and Chachi’s minds together are equivalent to one mind (offensive) 2) We see Johnny and Chachi as half a person each (offensive) 3) We care more about design and the number of minds equaling the number of boxes on brochure (offensive). 4) They accidently put our picture there and left off Chad Rehnberg’s picture (offensive, but to Chad, so this reason is acceptable).

Anywhoosier, we’re looking forward to being a part of it.  Perhaps they’ll let us do our new 90’s Medley.  It’s somewhere close to jaw-dropping when viewed live… in the ‘I can’t believe Scribble’s hired these guys’ kind of way.
