Blogging from the New Conspirators (pt 2)
Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : February 28, 2008
I arrived in Seattle last night. Eliacin picked me up at the airport and we went straight to the Mustard Seed house where I had an awesome dinner (roast chicken with vegetables…and apple/berry cobbler for dessert).
After dinner, I hung out with Mark Pierson, Tom Balke, Eliacin and his wife Ricci and their two adorable kids.
This morning, I was drafted (along with all of the other guests from out of town) to help set up for the conference. I don’t think I’ve ever carried that many chairs in my life. The church that is hosting the conference (Bethany Community Church) looks like an awesome venue. They have a newly constructed sanctuary that still smells like wood.
I was more than happy to help with set up, but I was anticipating a quiet day of preparation for my workshops…but my new friend David Laird was here at 8am with a van that needed to be filled with stuff.
So, after a full morning of work, and a light lunch (the Mustard Seed House knows how to be hospitable…the food was simple, hearty, and good), I am know getting ready to put some finishing touches on tomorrow’s workshop. Tonight at 6pm, the presenters will have dinner together…and then things kick off at 7pm or so.
For those of you who can’t attend, but are interested, keep up on conference happenings at The New Conspirators discussion board on Pibb by going here: https://pibb.com/go/thenewconspirators. Pibb combines the best features of instant messenger, chat, email, and bulletin boards.
