May 14, 2010 – Melodicious

This is just for fun….it’s actually for kids, but it is a great way to spend some time for folks of all ages. It’s the Rain Drop Melody Maker.

Go ahead…..you know you want to try it….

So you would think that it gets quiet around our offices after Orange. But that’s not the case at all. All of the projects that were put on hold are back in full swing, and the follow up to Orange is quite an undertaking as well. The client service team is taking phone calls and returning emails about all kinds of things (some of the questions are pretty funny….we should blog about those one day!)….the event team is working through expense forms and setting up debrief meetings….the marketing team is reviewing what worked and what didn’t work for 2010. And in the middle of it all, Lanny showed up yesterday. I grabbed my camera and asked him to tell you guys what his favorite moment was from Orange 2010. Here you go….

May 6, 2010 – Sing a Song

We get the request every year to send out the song list from each of our sessions at Orange. So this year, we’re just going to make it public domain! For your reading and singing-in-the-shower pleasure, here is the set list from Orange 2010:

We’re back! Last week was a whirlwind, and if you weren’t at Orange, then hopefully you were able to join us via the Information Highway and watch the live stream! We’ll be posting some updates, stories, and videos from Orange 2010 over the next couple of weeks. Then we’ll be making some changes around here to MakingOfOrange.com. So keep us on your blogroll!

First up….a glimpse at the winners of the “Smack Down” bowling tournament for all of the student leaders and pastors. This was a great networking opportunity for those participating, and the winning team was actually made up of individuals who met for the first time at the conference! What a collision!

More set up fun around the offices and warehouse today. Here’s another glimpse into our teams at work:

	This is Megan. She is the maker of each name badge you’ll see at Orange. This is her in the process of printing over 4,000 individual name badges!
	So we thought that the orange dog was a big deal…..but Lauren seems to have gone one step further and painted HERSELF orange! Looks like some prop painting went a little askew!
	Here is our first fully packed truck ready to make the trek over to Gwinnett Arena! This is all of our IT equipment – computers, printers, etc. – that you’ll see at registration, check in for each breakout and the four resource centers. And they all got loaded up in the rain!
	We have a lot of stuff! Each year we end up renting a third warehouse for staging all of the pallets that go to the event venue. This is also where all of the additional receiving shipments land. It’s A LOT of stuff! I’m not sure what the leaf blower is doing in the mix, though….
