Let’s hang out at Catalyst

I went to the Catalyst Conference in Atlanta last year and loved it. This year looks like it’s going to be even more wicked awesome than last year.

If you’re going, let’s hang out. Here are two ways we can:

1. Free Skittle-a-thon-palooza
Wednesday, October 8, 6:30 – 7:20 pm, room 6ABC
On Wednesday, Catalyst is hosting creative labs. Mike Foster, xxxchurch.com, and a few other folks are speaking at 7:30pm. If you’ve signed up for the labs, please stop by room 6ABC in the convention center from 6:30 until 7:20pm so that I can give you free Skittles and tell you thanks for reading this site. We’ll be hanging out there, talking sarcastically, dreaming about worship eagles and changing the world. Plus, blog legend Anne Jackson might stop and tell us a little about her great new book, Mad Church Disease: Overcoming the Burnout Epidemic. Then we can all go over and check out Mike and Jud Wilhite’s Deadly Viper lab, which will be fantastic because that’s just how they roll.

2. World Largest Side Hug
Friday, October 10, 1:30 in front of the Convention Center
The theme of this year’s Catalyst is “Together” so I thought it might be good for us to do a group photo where we try to break the world record for largest side hug. (The current record is 4 people so it should be fairly easy to accomplish.) I’ll be wearing the official “Side Hug” t-shirt and will be easy to spot outside of the main entrance to the Convention Center. (You should get a t-shirt too, they come in a ton of styles and are fun to wear.)

If you haven’t signed up for Catalyst yet, I strongly encourage you to. The worship is amazing, the message is really encouraging and I think folks like Seth Godin, Dave Ramsey and many others are going to bring the house down this year. Click here to sign up.
