Windmills, Breakdowns, Pots, and Pans

This post is a throwback to an old video from a couple years ago. This was one of my favorite videos we did while I was at Lurecrest. It was made in the context of being in the Lurecrest summer camp culture and was best viewed there, but I think it has some staying power outside the camp world too. Here's the set up I gave it before we would show it in chapel (so pretend you're a 7th grade camper and you're sitting in an old open air chapel in the mountains of NC in July 2003, and you're tired, and it's 10 AM, and you're about to be blown away by video hilarity, and then I come out on stage to introduce it):

"We really enjoy having you guys here as campers this week, and we wanted you know that when you get older you can spend a summer working here if you're interested. It's really a fun time, and it's just awesome to be up here. When you're in high school the first job you can get here is working as a CrossTrainer which is our work crew program. The girls serve in the dining hall and the guys wash dishes and do trash runs, and it's hard work, but a lot of fun. We've got a great group of guys this year, and one in particular is a real, uh...asset to the team. He's really a hard worker and really gets into his job, more than anybody we've ever seen. It freaks the other guys out some, but they're getting along and getting used to his work style. Anyway, we figured we'd give you a look into what it's like being on work crew with this guy. So here you go, here's a video about him: Hardcore Man."



The video's also up on YouTube so if you're ever on that site look it up under "Hardcore Man" or "Hopesfall". The music is "The Far Pavillions" by Hopesfall. And thanks Ryan Russel for playing Hardcore Man and gorging yourself on brownies and hardcore dancing to no music for an hour.
