LONDON BABY!

Today was the Youth Alpha London shopping trip, high lights included:

Everybody arriving in time for the train (woot!)
A tone deaf man singing the theme from superman in order to sell little radio controlled helicopters which he claimed were 'the best toy in Hamleys'
Foam sword fight!
A bear that blew a whistle and played a drum, which Dan loved. Why?
Lauren brought a carrot
The Pizza Hut waiter who poured Pepsi on my hand. Bah.
Stephen blowing bubbles
Is a pocket sized hand sanitizer really such a shameful thing Sarah?
The electric shock dueling game
The filthy-dirt-filth smell by the cash point
Gob stoppers the size of tennis balls. Who has a gob that big?
Wondering if massive gob stoppers bounce, only to find out they don't (sorry Chris!)
Stephen's white lips.
We got the right train home at the right time. Cool huh.

Jango frets his way to 10K viewings

Like it says up there, our Jango's Frets video has finaly had ten thousand viewings.
Not bad for a throw away video made for a Sunday Morning Kid's Church lesson on the spur of the moment.
Why not watch it again to enjoy the cheap and cheerful production values!

Spiderman 3 video gets 10K viewings

Remember about a year ago when I excitedly posted that the Superman video for Free* Cafe' was the most popular thing on our youtube channel with a whooping great 200 viewing?

As of this week the Spiderman 3 video is our first one to break the 10'000 mark (with shoddy masterpiece Jango's Frets hot on it's heels at 9776 viewings). To mark this momentus occassion here's the spidey video in all it's glory:

New video

Added to youtube today is our good bye tribute to Matt & Lizi Ingle:

'the A to z of the Ingles'

Matt has been working as a ley worker (or an 'intern' to our american chums) for the Anglican churches in Chesham for the last 2 years. Matt & Lizi both played a big part in developing Free* Cafe', F.B.I., Solid Rock at Chesham Park school and Intense (among plenty of other things) and they will be greatly missed by the local youth leaders and yoing people alike.

The video consists of some very 'Ingle' style humour and features me interviewing them about some of the things God has done in their lives. Hope you enjoy it.

Cinema shinanigans

Hey folks,
Last nights Simpsons movie cinema trip was a lot of fun (my favourite line: "Dooms day is family time")
This weekend the Bruce Almighty sequel Evan Almighty opens across the UK.
From the trailer 'Evan' looks like a pretty straight forward modern retelling of the 'Noah's Ark' story from Genesis with a lot of animal gags.
If you do go and see it be sure to let the rest of the Youth Alpha, FBI or Free* Cafe' crowd know what you think.

Here's some clips and a little review of the movie from Youtube.



Click here for the full story of Noah from The Message bible paraphrase. There's so much more to him then building a big boat. He's a true hero, but also a mixed bag of good and bad like most of us (check out the part where he gets drunk and shouts at his kids).
