Special Videos for Echo Conference 2010
If you are attending the Echo Conference in 10 days, you are in for a treat. I’m not sure about the conference… I’m sure it’ll be run of the mill. I’m talking about a handful of special videos that Chachi and I are in. The pictures above are just 3 random pictures from the video shoot. Those video guys are scary.
The day we met the Skit Guys
To say we have had a rivalry with the Skit Guys is an understatement. We thought it was hilarious when our ‘Killer Marriage Tips‘ never hit #1 on WorshipHouse Media, in part thanks to ‘Love Words‘, Skit Guys mega-seller. But since we have gotten to hang with them at the Simply Youth Ministry Conference, we decided that we really like them. Like really really like them.

Here are the Skit Guys with the Igniter Media crew and the Student Pastor guy from Watermark Community.
By the way…. just kidding about the rivalry.
Our new video, ‘Killer Youth Ministry Tips’
Introducing, our newest video. We debuted ‘Killer Youth Ministry Tips’ at the Simply Youth Ministry Conference to over 2,500 peeps. We actually got to sit in and watch. That don’t always get to see our videos used so that was ahhsome.
Thanks to Josh Griffin, Kami Gilmour, Andy Brazelton, Jake Rutenbar, Doug Fields, and the rest of the SYMC crew. They were amazing to work with.
See you at the Simply Youth Conference
We are excited to be heading to the Simply Youth Conference in 10 days. Our goal is to meet everyone there… so if you are going, we hope to meet you. We will have a booth next to Igniter Media‘s booth. Our backdrop in our booth is an amazing photo opportunity (you’ll see).
We will be unveiling our newest video, Killer Youth Ministry Tips at the conference and can’t wait to see it in a huge crowd. Also, we are slated to perform a time or two.
Our goal is to hang out with Doug Fields for 20 minutes… Chachi is his biggest fan.
In our booth, we’ll be selling some sweet merch (DVD, t-shirts, head shots) so come by and see us.
Winter Weekend 2010 in the can!
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.
Opening for Tim Hawkins can be fun
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.
With Nevan 'I can't say his last name without getting xxx spam'
Here are Rob and Braun with Tim Hawkins.
Scribble Sessions, here we come.
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.
Hello ECHO, old friend… We’re baaaack!
Tomorrow night, Chachi and I will once again walk onto the ECHO stage to perform. We will be performing some new material, which is amazing, considering we like to use the same material for at least 5 years.
Hope to see you at ECHOoooooooooo. #echo09
