Last Year, round this time

I was just looking at my friend Carl's blog (link to it down & to the left), and he posted a video from our trip last year to Chicago.

We were taking a seminary class about "urban mission," and so we went into the city to view how a number of different churches in different urban contexts viewed their mission to the local area, and how they approached their ministry.

The trip afforded me the opportunity to play what is one of my favorite games to play: El-Balance. The game is played on a subway, tram, or in Chicago's case, elevated train system. To play, you stand in the aisle of the train (preferably in front of the door), and plant your feet opposite another player. Once the train is in motion, the game is afoot. The goal of the game is two-fold: 1. don't move your feet. 2. don't fall over. It's far more fun than you would think, and it's either hilarious or really annoying to the other passengers on the train.

I include the video that Carl had included in his post, as it shows myself (in the gray cap) and the right Rev. Chris St. Clair engaged in battle, and one shot where you can see me fall over so hard, I thought that I was going to break the door.

The larger focus of the video is St. Clair going into an epileptic fit that he claims is some sort of dance. I set it to music to prove that there is no possible way that he is, in fact, dancing. As you can see in the video, I feared for my life.



This be that video.
