This is very profound, even if it isn’t me. There are insights in this that are reminiscent of Nooma. It’s worth watching the whole thing if you get a chance.

Twit 023 – Behind the Scenes
Ok, Some of you might be interested in some of the behind the scenes stuff that goes on at XXXChurch. You know, when we aren’t making ridiculous films about going to the Mac Store, what do we do to keep this thing ticking over?
Well, one answer is that last week I labeled, sorted and posted 5,000 postcards to church youth groups in the west. We hit every church with over 500 members in the states of California, Texas, Arizona, Nevada and Utah. This took me about 3 days of my time.
The funny thing was that the company that made the list for us didn’t remove the churches of the Mormons or the Scientologists! Needless to say very few churches in Utah made the final cut…
On that note here's a video entitled, "Cartoon banned by the Mormon church". I have no idea if this is what they really believe but it sure makes a great cartoon from the 80's!

Twit 022 – Apple
It’s an interesting phenomenon that Apple is running many aspects of my life. Apart from the plethora of Apple hardware dotted around the flat I have made several trips to the Apple Store. Not once have I been on my own account! First Brandon got his entire keyboard replaced… that was boring.
Then Sammy K’s computer died and in a moment of frustration did what he knew to be right and bought a new MacBook Pro… for almost $3000. There were torrents of sweat beading up on his brow! We even made up a word to describe his excitement... but you’re going to have to request that privately!
Then there was the new iPhone… and I’m running to keep up with Brandon as we race to get in line to get one.
This is becoming ridiculous.

Twit 020 – Cornerstone
(Rob Shevlot)
The last festival of our stint of five was Cornerstone. This was a big one because everyone had built this one up as better than all the rest. Hippy Christians ran this festival and they were generally more hands off and more creative and grass roots as opposed to formulaic and established.
It delivered in both those ways. Bands that blew my mind were Bradley Hathaway and mewithoutyou. They both played on the same stage at the same time on consecutive nights and both times I was backstage. mewithoutyou included a stage invasion and we all danced on stage together. It was great.
Also we stayed with a family called the Shevlots who are friends of XXXChurch. They were the most genuine people you could hope to meet.
