4. they've been part of ccc san diego since sunday #2 (the infamous parking lot service)

and here's a few not-so-well-known facts about greg:

my job best compares to...balancing the budget on nuclear energy...uh, not really. it compares to when you were a kid and all your friends would come over on a friday night, you'd play cd's, talk all night, eat unhealthy food and not get any sleep.

most weeks I just need...to be with my family, watch a sunset and get a good pedicure.

i easily fall in love with...a perfectly foamed cappuccino in the morning.

don’t count on me to...be on time, plan your financial future or quote shakespeare.

this summer I need...to get in shape, but wait...round is a shape!

saturday mornings you will find me...hopefully snoring like a buzz-saw trying to catch up on sleep.

i am most difficult when...i'm tired, hungry, or when there's painful chafing.

if im craving something, typically it is...nachos, fried chicken or mexican food :)

the reason I love what I do is...i don't have to dress up or fight traffic and i get paid to goof off.

my most embarassing moment in my career was...when i was working at star 98.7 in los angeles. the cafe in our building downstairs delivered my lunch this one day. i left the studio and walked out to the lobby where i greeted a gentleman in shabby clothes and a hat and said, "how much do i owe you?" all of a sudden the other guy in the suit next to him said, "i don't know what you're referring to, but i'd like you to meet mr. carlos santana." (oye como va...soy un idiota!!)

here's some fun from suite 308 (ccc's media office :) this will be playing at spirit west coast on may 23-25. by the way, the ccc worship team is playing at s.w.c. on may 24 at 12.40 pm with ps jurgen speaking afterwards! ps jurgen is also speaking MAINSTAGE saturday at 11 am!

the ccc kidz american idol finals happened last sunday and delta rocked the house with her own version of 'god made me'. here's her finale performance...(watch from the beginning to see delta winning the award or skip to 2.15 for the song)

congrats delta!

here's some of the other brilliant contestants...carly, macy and hunter.

delta getting her comments from the panel of judges.

grace and kaitlyn were part of the happy crowd watching the show.

jackson was the air-guitar competition champion!

here's some fun for your ears! ps jurgen assembled an off-the-cuff boy band (chiddick, rob, jono, isaac, paul and andrew) to sing rachel a birthday song on sunday night. here's the results...

everyone say hi to michele! she is the newest member of the team here at ccc. she is the office manager and personal assistant to ps jurgen and leanne.

here's a bit more about michelle...

my first job was...selling avocados at the santa monica farmer’s market with my grandma out of the back of her pick up truck when i was ten.

my childhood ambition was...to be an artist and a veterinarian.

my proudest moment was...when my brother called to tell me my nephew woke up in the morning asking for me, not mom or dad :)

I collect...empty water bottles in my car.

are you addicted to any social networking websites?…i have to say i’m a regular on facebook, but wouldn’t call it addiction… why are my hands shaking…

my most embarrassing moment was...i was in a school play in 6th grade where i was playing an old lady with a huge gray wig. i had to storm off in anger and it went flying across the stage. in my embarrassed state i put it back on backwards and the second wave of laughter ensued. my friend fell out of her chair she was laughing so hard.

my favorite thing about america is...chocolate covered frozen bananas.
