As of last week (March 3 to be exact), Radial Mesa has officially slid over to their new service perma-lodging (Wednesday nights at 7pm). And, even though we wouldn’t want to anyway, we just can’t hide how ultra pumped we are about the new digs.

The launch service was a blow-out of epic proportions. It was mind-numbingly incredible. But, we know your skeptical wonder-brain is guessing we have to say that. I mean, it’s our blog right? True & true. Which is why we decided to let the attendees speak for themselves.

Here are just a few favorite launch night status updates we stumbled across while sifting through Facebook in the wee hours of the morn just after that fateful service:

Hillary Elsner: “if we can get enough people to come to a place better than disneyland on march 3, mike jasper gets to have the lucky honor of having his chest waxed”

Heather Hittenberger: “ONLY at Radial Mesa would you 1. Walk in to church and see 4 men in tights dancing to single ladies! 2. Watch Michael Jasper get his chest waxed! 3. Have a lesson about how guys are stupid!!! and 4. Get to eat ice cream after service! Thank you Gretchen Haensler Smith and Adam Smith you are officially my idols !!!!!”

Brianna Taft: “I have to say… mission move Radial to Wednesday was a SUCCESS… poor Jasper…”

Taylor Hawker: “What an amazing day! Radial kick off was amazing!!!”

Sarah Bonilla: “Men in tights dancing to Beyonce, chest hair waxage, message on the dumb things guys do, and ice cream buffet . . . now THAT’S how you do church on a Wednesday! Amazing awesomeness!”

So, if you missed it, don’t fret. We won’t lie to you and tell you it wasn’t next-level stunning awesomeness, but we will tell you that there’s more awesome to come. It’s just going to get bigger and better. So, get to it. Rearrange your schedule. Buy a bus pass. Hitchhike. Do what you’ve got to do to be there every Wednesday night at 7pm and see first hand why all your Facebook friends can’t seem to shut-up about an all new Radial Mesa.

Here’s the deal gang–Backyard Bashes 2010 is right around the corner (seven days to be exact) and we’re getting a bit giddy around here. Why wouldn’t we? We’re talking 5 fabulous parties in 5 feverish days; a week of sweet-n-tasty theme bashes sprawled out across an otherwise dulled-up week of no-schooled stir-crazied madness: the week of March 15-19 aka Mesa Spring Break.

So listen carefully. Here’s what you need to know: $20 bucks scores you a neon yellow wristband that buys you into all 5 bashes. These phat plastic fashion accessories (doubling as your week-long party pass) go on sale this Wednesday night in the AC lobby of the Mesa Campus. So tuck a wad of ones in your pocket and come ready to purchase a week of beautiful backyard bliss.

PLUS…to take your cooped-up excited delight to the next level, this Wednesday night during Radial Mesa’s second ever midweek youth service (kick-starting at 7pm), we’ll be premièring the brand spanking new 2010 Backyard Bashes video trailer (starring the always injury-prone Michael Jasper) outlining the ins-and-outs of this year’s can’t-miss themes. Trust us, you’re gonna want to see this thing for the first time with a packed-out studio audience of other like-minded avid Radial fans.

But–to simultaneously tide you over till then as well as get you clappily drooling for more–here’s a look back at last year’s video trailer.

Alrighty-tighty folks. I know you’re shocked, but please–don’t attempt to adjust your screens, or scissor-pinch yourself with your most jaggedy fingernail to make sure you’re really awake. You most definitely are. This is reality and what you are witnessing is correct–Radial is back online in a zesty new way with this–our online electronic urban lodge (complete with a mounted deer head and faux wood paneling).

The truth is: we couldn’t be more stoked about our new site & all the nifty new tricks we plan on tackling with it. Curious? Intrigued? Giddily wanting in on our double-stack of webtastic browserific dominance?

Well–let me give you a peek behind the giant red velvet curtain. With this site you can scroll through a list of Cadres (leader profiles and locations) for both campuses, check out service times, browse upcoming events, download nifty Radial wallpapers, scroll through our Vimeo video archives, connect with Radial friends on Facebook, hop links & legally cyber-stalk your youth pastors via Twitter, read weekly new blog entries about life, faith & culture, and listen to the multi-campus message Podcast through iTunes. And that’s just scratching the surface, my friends.
