Just a side project my friend Rev. Steve Heyduck and I have been working on. I share this as an example of how I am reinventing the wheel (see last post). As they say, you cannot preach what you do not practice. (well I guess you can but that is the mark of a jerk.)

In case you are wondering, yes, this is a variation of the Rob Bell "CraftLabs" which you can find some thoughts from bloggers who attended here. However just a few distinctions between what we are doing and Rob Bell:

We charge $30/person not $500/person
No one will attend something just because we put something together
Our celebrity power is 1/1,000,000,000 the size of Rob Bell
Less lecturing from us and more collaboration
No surfing but there is art
Less fish tacos and more nachos and beer

We have 20 slots and as of today, 15 are spoken for. So that is cool.
