I'll be out here staying with my friend Chris Perry from Az- CP when you read this...stop...and go get a blog! Today I'll be meeting up with a friend who just got back from two years in the Peace Corps in Peru (we grew up together as next door neighbors in New York since we were born), trying to catch my Oregon Senators on the Hill to advocate overturning a bill on torture, and trying to catch some cool places along the way.
DC Playlist: Wale- 100 Miles & Running Mixtape, Coldplay- Viva La Vida, Santogold- Self titled, Lil Wayne- Tha Carter III, Estelle- Shine, and N.E.R.D.- Seeing Sounds
Man, it has been too long....I feel like there is so much to blog about. Last week I started my new job with Rise Up- I'll be coordinating and developing both our volunteer and financial resources stateside...so as to make us a more effective & sustainable organization as we seek to stop the exploitation of children.
My first day of work involved the President of the organization (Jesse) and I heading up to Portland for a vision retreat of sorts....capping the night with the Glow in the Dark Tour. If this tour has not hit your city yet...GO BUY TIX! It will change your life. All four performers (Kanye West, Rhianna, NERD, and Lupe Fiasco) killed it! Kanye's stage show was unlike any other I had seen...
I'll be in DC for a conference on grassroots organizing through Sojourners...starts Friday- should be fun..and I'll keep you all posted!
