"Juno" Film Discussion...

So, my first event as Events Co-ordinator! We did a film discussion in Palmer, watched the whole film "Juno", which was surprisingly good and a fresh and interesting and funny film. I highly recommend it to anyone with any taste, and recommend Tony Watkins and generally doing a film discussion. The popcorn was really good too.

Here is a quick MSN conversation between myself and Josh John about it, which sums up in part the evening:

Joshy - essay time says:
how was film?
Josh says:
really good film. surprised how much i enjoyed it
Josh says:
good event

Joshy - essay time says:
fair amount of pps?
Josh says:
10+ non c's
Joshy - essay time says:
thats good
Josh says:
at least 4 deep convos at the end
Josh says:
a few off posters and flyers
Joshy - essay time says:
awesome!
Josh says:
good amount of cu people, dan and elli came on their own, and that worked really well, to make up numbers and talk to people who came on their one
Josh says:
the really tall girl from mojos came
Joshy - essay time says:
i know who you're talkin bout :)
Josh says:
and said the CU wasnt what she expected, and found us welcoming nice, friendly etc, not pushy
Josh says:
good times! just what i was going for
Joshy - essay time says:
thats amazing!
Josh says:
deeks was quality too
Joshy - essay time says:
deeks?
Joshy - essay time says:
hosting?
Josh says:
took me to shops, then stayed to help set up, then put himself of welcome and was really good at it!
Josh says:
cos he treats all the same, regardless of cu etc, and makes people feel welcome
Joshy - essay time says:
he is an absolute legend!

Another cool thing was that next door, the new RUSU TV station was filming a quiz, and we got be be a good witness to them , but agreeing to move rooms just before we started, so as not to interrupt their recording process because of being able to hear other rooms in Palmer. And, made some friends there, so maybe we can get them in on some events! Pray about this...

And there you have it! A great event, my first as Events Co-ordinator. Though I didn't really have to do much, thanks to Tony Watkins, Rachel P, Sonia A and Chris D. God seems to be doing cool stuff here in in people, and a few minor setbacks were easily overcome. I would write more, but short and sweet is probably better. You get the idea- answered prayer, a well attended event, people closer on their way to hearing and accepting the gospel, and misconceptions about the CU destroyed. Praise the Lord!

Hopefully more where this came from soon, Tony is really up for doing more which is great. Laters guys...

Following the trend...an attempt at blogging

Well. Here we are. After spending ages trying to think of a name that is super cool but not pretentious, and failing, here I am copying everyone else I admire and doing a blog.



I guess I do this in the hope that I may begin to more actively investigate disscussions and issues and the like that I frequently come up with in my over-active mind and come across when being distracted by other more qualified people's blogs. Thoughts that are usually kept to myself, or are dumped unceremoniously upon my good friend Josh John.



This has potential to contain loads of interesting thoughts -it often is comically been pointed out that I have way too many ideas and thoughts going on upstairs- however, often being a quite indecisive perfectionist with poor time management skills...whether there will be any posts at all, let alone anything worth reading, is not something to bet your house upon.



For strange reason though, blooging -or at least, what I intend to use this blog for- has a sense of accountability about it, if I go about declaring progress in personal bible studies and the like. Though, in the knowledge that there is in fact no body reading this, I'm not really sure that is a valid excuse for a blog!



I refer a good friend of mine, whose blog is, in my opinion, one of the best around [Stephen Edwards http://www.xanga.com/steebl] for a very apt summary of why exactly, is blogging a good idea, at least for him -see later post.
