Joys (Horror) of Event Planning

Here's a shot of the youth I work with. This is from 2012 Acquire the Fire event  acquirethefire.com Just in case you're wondering I'm the one on the far left holding a student, and yes I almost dropped him. ATF is a conference I highly recommend. This year we have the privilege to be the host church at the San Diego event that takes place in March. There's a whole bunch of stuff we have to get in order and I'll be blogging about the wondrous joys of helping to host an event for 3,000 students. Yes, that was a little sarcasm, but I really am stoked we are a part of it. If you are a part of a planning team or in charge of events for your ministry/job I'd like to know. What are some of the things you dread? What do you enjoy about it? Have a horror story or awesome testimony, I'd love to hear about it.
