• Todd Wilson has done a good job with the conference. Props to him.
• I didn’t take notes and neither did Tadd (I was with him the whole time) but he has good notes on his blog somehow.
• This morning we were lead in worship by some guys doing church in urban settings. Lot of dancing, lot of rapping, and lot of other stuff that made me realize I am WAY to white. It was awesome to see how they reach their area.
• Talked a good bit with the owner of Portable Church Industries.  I was impressed and he defended his company well.  Still not sold that I would use them but I was impressed with the guy and he is the real deal and his heart IS in the right place.
• The Blogging Roundtable was very good. GREAT turnout and a good time hearing different people’s stories.
• There are few people I enjoy being around more then Bob Franquiz.  I think I freak the dude out but I just like him.
• Chris Elrod honestly plays the hard ass role but he is one of the nicest guys I have ever been around. Don’t tell anyone but the dude has a huge heart!
• Ben Arment said in the bloggers roundtable no one makes him madder then I do at times through my blog. I loved it! He did a good job with the roundtable.
• I really like what Shawn and David are doing with ChurchPlanters.com.
• I got to meet one of my heroes last night, Bil Corneilus. He was at dinner with us last night and I am pretty sure I came off looking like a dork. I was actually nervous to meet him and blew the chance to pick his brain. That was stupid.
• Darin Patrick was GREAT today! His talk on team REALLY spoke to me.
• Shawn Lovejoy laid the smack down today as well. Love that dude!
• I HATE Church Pews!!! I have not set in a church pew in forever and my back is freaking killing me.
• I hooked up for about 2 mintues with Vince Antonucci today. He was one of the guys I REALLY wanted to meet. The dude is a FREAK about unchurched people and everyone says we should connect. I am going to look him up and pick his brain some things.
• I love church planters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• I would love to see some new blood as main speakers. Don’t get me wrong the guys they had were great but I want to see Perry, Steven, Bil, and some of the other awesome dudes on this platform.
• Trinity Jordan is a dude that I met last year at the Buzz Conference and I just like the dude. We seem pretty different but I like him. He actually calms me. That sound weird but it is true.
• Got to talk with Mark Batterson for a few minutes today. Here is the deal. The dude honestly is THE nicest guy in the world. Again that is opposite of me and I struggle with nice people but if you don’t like this dude, you can’t like anyone. He is just a freaking nice dude.
• Devin Hudson is knocking it out of the park in Las Vegas.
• God is doing some awesome things through church planting and I love that we are The Stone get to be part of it!
• This conference reminded me that what God is doing at RSC is not normal. I hang around a lot of dudes that are blowing us out of the water and because of that I can forget that what God is doing here is NOT happening at other places!!! I love Ridge Stone.
• The calling to a city is a powerful thing. I heard that over and over today. When God calls you to a city you better GO. It doesn’t matter what else happens or who else goes there you MUST GO.
• Those of us how are planters love it so much that we can’t leave it. That is another reason multi-site isn’t going away. It allows us to continue doing what we love.
• I had a blast at the conference.
• I am honored I was invited!
• I am ready to be at RSC Sunday!!!!! I freaking love that place!
