Running Behind This Year

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Well everyone, we’re still here.  And it’s pretty obvious that we’re running way, way behind schedule this year AND Mile High Stampede is  a week earlier than normal. Nonetheless, we’re here and MHS 2010 is going to be as awesome as ever, we promise!

BE PREPARED TO BE AWESOME-IZED!

Thursday and Friday recap

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Well everyone, it’s finally here.  As I write this it’s about 1:50 AM and I’ve just finished getting the Round One Update Video posted. If you missed the worship rally, you really missed something awesome. The music was awesome and the spirit of God fell in a really powerful way on the service. There were young people dancing in the altar and worshiping God with passion and sincerity that made a very big impact on me.  I’m too exhausted to write more right now, but check back tomorrow after I’ve had a chance to sleep! Check out the video update and check back here often over the next couple of days and weeks as we get more videos, pictures an audio posted!

10 Days…

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

Well folks, it’s been 10 whole days since we last spoke to each other and a lot has happened. Our musicians got together for their first practice and I gotta say - it’s sounding awesome.  Really awesome.  Seriously, you don’t even know.  We also went shopping for food and spent a LOT of time working on a really special surprise.  Our DJ has, I’m sure been cracking his knuckles and doing whatever kind of finger stretching and warm-ups that DJs do…I think it probably has something to do with playing paper football.

Check the website for some new videos and pictures coming this week.  11 DAYS!!! ARE YOU READY?!?!

Exciting News!!

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Last year, the number one most-requested thing on all of your surveys was “more teams” and also “more teams from out of state.”

Well, you asked - and we delivered. So far we have 21 teams registered representing 4 different states with more on the way.

You’re welcome.

The Beginning…Again

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

Well.  It’s that time a year again.  We’ve been planning this year’s Mile High Stampede since last year.  We’ve got some really cool things that we haven’t had in the past and we’re trying to make this the best year yet.  We’re kicking MHS off with a worship rally and ice cream social on Thursday night.  We’ve got teams coming from 3 different states so far (you’ll have to come to find out who they are ;).  HOPEFULLY, we will have homemade gumbo (by yours truly) for dinner on Friday night and MHS t-shirts you can purchase.  We’re still working out a few details with both of those though.  So come ready for some good competition, good food, and good fun!  Can’t wait to ya’ll there!

RED VS. YELLOW - Woop!

The After Party

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

Well, MHS has come to a conclusion for 2008. We worked hard to get it done and I think everyone had a great time. Believe it or not, we have already begun planning for 2009. We’ve contacted teams from out-of-state that are already making plans to be here next year.

MHS is for the quizzers. We have gone through the surveys and we know what you want. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to get the cool water slide that someone suggested, but maybe 2010.

Have a great rest of the quiz season. Keep checking the blog, because we’re gonna keep posting throughout the year. Feel free to leave comments and suggestions for next year.

Adios, for now!!
