Contagion

As the date gets closer (Sept.17) everything seems to be building up. We've been dreaming and planning for 6mos but that has all been on paper. Now everything has to be turned into a reality and we are seeing where some of our holes are. I'm just gonna throw these out there because maybe someone in this web will say "Hey, I can do that". I know beggers can't be choosers but obviously we prefer amazing over not-so-amazing-but-think-or-wish-I-was. Here goes:

• Musicians (Drummers, Bass Players, Keyboards, Electric/Acoustic guitar, DJ)
  

• Graphic designers (preferably people with web experience.)

• Animators (sounds huge but we are looking for loops to be created to accompany our series' graphic to be displayed on the movie screen behind us. It would also be nice to have countdowns created as well)

• Sound Engineers (We have not yet found someone to mix sound for us. If this is you and you are looking for a church, please contact us quickly. One request would be that these people be some sort of musicians so that their ear for music is there and not just the technical side of things)

• VJ's (Every week we will be showing video on the screen as well as displaying lyrics. This will soon move into switching between video cameras as well. This person has to be on the ball and also have an artistic bent to them.)

• Video Camera Guru's (We don't have cameras yet, but when we do we would like to make the best decision. And then when we have them we'd like to be able to have competent operators/editors behind them. We also want to move into shooting short films for our gatherings. The door is wide open on this one. We need creative people that can dream big dreams.
  

• Creative Geniuses (One of the elements to our gatherings that we value highly is creativity. It's not so that we can be showy but we really believe that learning happens in multiple ways and we want to try and employ as many as them as we can. We need people to be a part of the creative process. We need someone to lead the creative team. We need people to build props and design the stage. If you are this type of person and have no place as an outlet, drop me a line!
  

• Upstream Kids (Our kids are one of the most important parts of TXC. We are always looking for fun, energetic and caring adults to work with kids. We'll need to get a criminal record check done but if that isn't a problem, we can use you.

Okay. I think that's it. If you couldn't sense the desperation in my "writing tone", reread the post. Lots of this stuff will come over time but I sure would like to have my cake and eat it too. Even if you don't do any of these things, we are sure we can find you place to fit. And even if you don't feel comforable helping yet, just come. Be yourself. Find your place in The CrossCurrent.
