"by youth, for youth" conference 2007.

today, i attended the 2007 "by youth, for youth" conference at the mar vista family center in los angeles.

i got to meet a lot of really cool youth organizations based in the los angeles area, and i got to participate in some really fun and informative workshops.

check out the flickr account for photos of the day's events.

also, check out the people at http://youthradio.org. they're doing some awesome things with youth in the media world!

people.

i've been meeting a lot of new people lately (through work, industry connections, and just life in general), and i have made the following conclusion:

people really are weird, man.

a lot of them are bulls***ers and have no problem straight up lying to your face even when they know that you're fully aware of their dishonesty. it's kind of a let down, actually. i'd much rather you just be real, whether your truth favors me or not.

otherwise, it's a complete waste of time.
