Since today is the last official day you can submit your tattoo entry to the SCL Jesus tattoo contest, theacuffs(at)yahoo.com, I thought it might be fun to meet the judges. I tried to assemble a group of widely different cool people. Please go check out their sites, tell them SCL sent you and that we are all collectively and individually delighted they have agreed to help out with the contest:
Lanny Danoho - lannydonoho.com
North Point Guru, Bigstuf genius, hosted Catalyst last year. The creative cartel that he and Reggie Joiner established in Atlanta, just a handful of folks coming together to do some amazing stuff, is what I would love to do someday with some of my creative friends. 64% funnier than me. Visit his site.
Daniel Radosh - getraptureready.com
Author, writer for The New Yorker, Esquire, etc. Recently published a commentary on Christian culture called "Rapture Ready." I'm reading it right now and finding it to be a really fascinating look at the inside world of Christian culture from an outside point of view. Visit his site.
Steve Fee - feeband.com
Musician, worship leader at North Point, known to drop the elbow of awesome on the Catalyst stage, most famous musician I know. Love his songs, "Glorious One" and "We Shine." Am currently trying to convince him to let me come on tour to warm up the crowd with limericks. Visit his site.
Carlos Whitaker - ragamuffinsoul.com
Creator of massive ragamuffinsoul.com, runner, SPD at North Point, brought to Africa by Compassion International his ideas are so influential. Unable to enter contest because he was on LA Ink and lost his amatuer status. Visit his site.
Mark Oestreicher - ysmarko.com
Youth Ninja, President of Youth Specialties, has written a ton of books including "Every picture tells a story," currently in New Zealand. Really dig the book reviews he writes on his site. Visit his site.
Sophie - boomama.net
AKA Boomama, creator of one of the most widely read blogs on the web, ridiculous writer, incredibly kind to this site. She also went to Africa with Compassion International because people love this lady. Check out "The Big Boo Cast" for some fun. Visit her site.

ReplyDeleteDid you happen to get mine? I sent as soon as I could...had someone tell me about it last minute and I submitted it. Should have come from dustin.lamont@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThanks! Love this site!
i'm also the proud owner of three christian tattoos, and am about to get my fourth.
ReplyDeleteDear Steve Fee,
ReplyDeleteI understand that Jon has been asking you to let him join you on tour. For reasons I will explain, I think this would be a poor choice. Jon has serious pop & lock tendencies. And we all know that the reason Christians aren't supposed to drink or have premarital sex is because it might lead to dancing. Do not encourage this behavior. Secondly, Jon wrote a post about drinking, and I don't mean kool-aid. So unless you plan on handing out Satan water (beer) to your fans and then being on the outs with sweet baby Jesus and me, think again. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, Jon is not from Louisville. He's from Atlanta. Atlanta is all "we hosted the Olympics" and "everybody here smells like peaches". Lame. Louisville, KY has family trees that don't fork, 2 yes 2! cigarette companies, AND our White Castle sells a screamin' fried bologna breakfast sandwich. I'm just saying, pick me. I know you don't know me but trust me, Dude, me and Louisville, we're goin' global.
Side hugs,
Stacy
Dear Steve Fee -
ReplyDeleteI personally think you should be globally famous. I think people around the world should know about you. That's why I think it is dangerous to take career advice from someone that lives in Louisville. Do you know why Stacy put "Louisville" in her name and not "Kentucky," because she is a self state hater, or SSH if you will.
Who is she to give you global career advice when she is so geographically twisted that she won't even claim her own state? Despite that, I think Louisville is a nice place. They have that famous arch, the professional baseball team named the Cardinals and Lindbergh proudly flew in the airplane, the spirit of St. Louisville. Wait, what? All those things are about St. Louis? Oh, well Louisville can take credit for their ability to take bigger sticks and make them into littler sticks and then sell them as baseball bats. I mean they have that going, which is nice.
Jon
Dear Steve Fee,
ReplyDeleteObviously Jon has been drinking...
I'm not a SSH, I'm a realist. I was only pointing out to you that I will bring culture to your tour. Jon will bring knock-knock jokes and scary clown antics. I know Atlanta hosted the Olympics, but wasn't there a bomb incident? Bad press is the last thing you need when trying to praise the sweet baby Jesus. I have it on good authority that Jon gets most of his post ideas from OK! Magazine. Whereas, I get my ideas from life, and culture, and refinement. And, he spell hot with two "t"s. He means well. We'll throw him a bone by waving at him from the Catalyst stage. But be sure not to have a lull in the music. He's a JEEEESSSSSUUUUUUSSSSS! screamer.
Off to pray,
Stacy
BTW Steve, have you seen Jon's new blog site? It's called "Nobody Does Steve Fee Like Chris Tomlin".
ReplyDeletedear stacy from louisville and prodigal jon,
ReplyDeleteyou two are so freakin hillarious. can i please just see the two of you on tour?
ps i think the 1000th thing christians like, just because that is a cool number people always seem to celebrate, should be stacy.
