Rick,
Didn't think you were rambling. Although I downloaded Visual Jockey I haven't got my head round it yet glad your getting some gigs though are you working outside the christian scene as well?
coolio... yeah, vJo takes a while to wrap your head around... how i typically use it only scratches the surface of what it can do.
as far as outside the christian scene...
well, i did visuals at about 5 shows with Pussycat Productions over the course of a year -
http://www.pussycatproductions.com/ - starting when Shelby (Ellipse) came to Seattle for Accelerator [i think May'05?] - and ending with a party called PLURF that Brian Babinec opened up [i think May'06]. not much since then tho'... mostly because my main connection with them was Stephanie (used to post on here as Cattywompus), and after she & Mark (Heavyweight) divorced, it was trickier to keep in touch with Mark. i emailed him a few times about helping out with their upcoming parties, but never heard back. this was also right after a shooting in our area (lost a TF pal there--Chris), and i also had a bunch of weird family stuff going down at the same time, so i needed to take a break anyway.
the only thing i've done fairly recently in the Seattle-ish scene was to make a bunch of logo, etc. loops for the decibel festival -
http://dbfestival.com/ - last fall. one of my co-workers at Screenlife (the company that makes the DVD game SceneIt?) and i each made a bunch of video loops to be played in-between sets at the showcases. would like to have VJ'd there, but at least we were able to supply the VJs with a bunch of event-themed content to throw in their sets.
where are you guys from? i'm in Seattle, Washington. before my current job as a motion graphic designer, i was a media director at a church up in Everett (a little north of Seattle) for 7 years. that was how i got connected with folks doing video stuff at youth conferences, etc.
the next event i'll be doing is a children's conference:
http://www.northwestministry.com/site/start.php?news_id=234&l1=level_1_1&l2=level_2_48 might link you there. after that, it's just building content for a fundraiser/ladies tea (yawn) for a local zoo/aquarium--fortunately the lighting designer will be running all that content off of his grandMA & servers--i might not even have to show up!
the next one after that is a biggie:
