We were at the Crystal Cathedral the night before the "La MoVida" then the rain decided to come down. We thought it would stop...but no it rain harder. The video is the first part of what happen at that MoVida. We wanted to set-up one night before...did not happen as you'll will see. I had a little challenge with Jose Luis and I lost...not fair he cheated...no he didn't I'm just a sore looser. Oh well enjoy the video.-Johnny-
Well rose was busy this day so I had to step up to the plate. Had to recall all my mad skills I had learned 8 months ago(...that mean I didn't remember) at trucking school. I won't mention where I went to school for two reasons:They are not sponsoring usThey are not sponsoring us!!First I had to circle the parking-lot to get a feel of the gears then I took it out on the road. I had to drive maybe two or three times in the whole tour. My respect's to all the truckers...especially Rose. I think I did Okay for it being my first time driving on my own. I was able to tame the beast. Manny was a little scared as you will see on the video, but we survived.-Johnny-
This was one of the first churches we visited. They really had their act together. They made 5,000 flyer's 2,000 of them went out on a mailing list, and the other 3,000 pasted out in the city. I applaud this church for taking serious the sharing of the Good News. Well it's late I think I'll go to sleep now good night...-Johnny-
Here is a little footage of when the truck broke down it's a little dark, but what you are seeing is the drive shaft broke of the U-bolt. We only have 2 more days before the tour is over back to real world. The good thing is that La MoVida will continue year round (...of course not every day) we will keep you posted. We still have a lot of footage to edit and to upload. Thanks for your support this is not a good-bye I still have two days left.-Johnny-
Here is something you might not know about Rose. Not only is she our driver she also is our dance instructor. Back in Mexico she use to be a professional dance instructor. Here she is showing us some of her Fancy foot work after one of the Movida events. Oh hey She also said and I quote "if you put this on the internet I will Quit!" So Rose; Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeez don't leave us we need you.-Johnny-
Day 16:I had my 1 year church anniversary on 9/16/07 so I couldn't be at the event in Santa Ana @ the Salvation Army. Which I had all ready made arrangements to be absent. Sound was already taken care of. "You know you work and work and miss one day and this is the gratitude I get!"...Sorry. My church anniversary was great we worship and fellowship til the night fall. God is good.-Johnny-
The first few days we still had a lot of work to do to the trailer. The first two days Fer, Oscar, and I stayed to complete the stage, sound, and lighting. While Jose Luis, Manny, and Pablo would go to do a small version of "La Movida"... JL and Manny would leave extra early to avoid traffic (yea right) while we slaved under the hot sun and worked. Well let bye-gone be bye-gone...trailer was not painted no lights where up and the T.V's where not up nor connected. And if that was not enough the generator was not working. But other than we been Blessed.-Johnny-
Day 18:Pasadena the challenge was for Rose to park the truck in a tiny tiny parking-lot. The good thing was we had a great turn-out. Must of been about 100 people...awesome. We had two casualties two tree branches were sacrificed during the process. A moment of silence please..........O.K. Those are the reality of La Movida...peace out.-Johnny-
Here is a brief video intro of the crew...it's in Espanol so for all you non-espanoles Jose Luis is talking about how we are the first ones to arrive and the last ones to leave. First you see Rose our driver then Me, Fer, Oscar, and Manny behind the camera...he is camera shy. Well I hope you enjoy there will be more videos to come...so stay tune.-Johnny-
