JOURNEY ON – Oakbridge featuring MC Shamrock
I went out with Mark Earngey (stage name MC Shamrock) on Friday night for some live Aussie Hip-Hop. Oakbridge was launching his new album. He was supported by Hoodsta Kidd and Broadkast from Brisbane. Earngey is featured on one of the album tracks, and so he performed that song with Oakbridge. Check out the video of Journey On:
The highlight of the night was Earngey owning the stage, closely followed by Broadkast and in particular their song Stay True. Check it on MySpace or listen for it on radio soon.
Most of these guys are hooked up with the Krosswerdz crew. Peaceout homies.

I recently started experimenting with Posterous. I use it as a way of sharing twitter pictures and videos. It’s really quick & easy to use and it’s a tidy & attractive spot to store things. Here’s my posterous account: davemiers.posterous.com
Having now used it for a couple of weeks, I think it’s much more than just a place to store pics. While I’d probably still recommend WordPress (free or self-hosted) as a more flexible and comprehensive platform for blogging, Posterous is a really good way to do quick and simple blogging.

Last week I went to the Willow Creek Global Leadership Summit. There was lots of good leadership wisdom to glean and it was good to spend time with Willoughby peeps.

Youth Ministry Conference 09
Youthworks run a killer conference every year: Youth Ministry Conference. The theme of YMC09 is ‘Real Hope’ – “Real Hope isn’t wishful thinking about an uncertain future. It’s a confidence grounded in the past that gives a thirst for the present and a certainty for the future. Real hope is in Christ – we experience it, and we want the young people of our nation and world to experience it too!” Get your team along to this great event!
Monday 30th November and Tuesday 1st December.
Speakers include: Ed Springer, Glenn Davies, Dave Starling and Malcolm Gill.
