Inspirations 8 [6-10]
The Design Revolution Roadshow came to Syracuse. They showcased designs that will change the world. I love the re-purposed wood for a math game, and the information design of the portion control bowls. And the pink balloons were pretty great too.

Reaction [Beautiful Losers]
I LOVE THIS MOVIE.
Let me tell you why.
A) I love the underground art culture they were portraying. Sometimes I wish I was cool enough to be a part of that. It's so inspiring to see people my age doing what they love to do, if they're getting paid or not. The different kinds of art they produce, whether it's graffiti, paintings, skateboard graphics, photos, ect, they are all so unique and edgy and wonderful and it really inspires me.
B) I love the different personalities of every person in the film. It's weird, because you look at the person and hear them speak, and then you look at their artwork and sometimes it's so obvious they were the ones who made that art. But other times, you see and hear a person, and then see their art, and you're like "What, I can't believe that guy made that art." Like the scrawny Asian kid that did those huge, awesome graffiti graphics. SO COOL! And totally unexpected.
C) I love the message it sends out about being creative. Never stop creating. If you're inspired, then do it! You don't have to have a huge, open-air, expensive studio to do the things you love. It's like the Delevan Center over in the Near West Side of Syracuse. There are old, grungy, kind of gross looking studios, but inside, people are making big, bold, beautiful, creative and amazing pieces of art! I find that awesome.
That's about it. Loved it.

RedHouse-Group 8 & Band Picks.
Problem: RedHouse isn't known among the Syracuse University students.
Solutions:
-Bring RedHouse to campus to have events
-Host an event with the Wescott Theater (because it already has a good reputation among the students)
-Glow in the dark t-shirts
-An igloo on the quad
-Better bus routes
-Partnering with frats and sororities
-FREE FOOD
3 BANDS I WANT TO COME TO SYRACUSE:::
1. Jason Castro (indie, acoustic, singer/songwriter, has AMAZING dreadlocks)
2. Matt Wertz (acoustic, singer/songwriter)
3. The Fray (pretty popular, but worth a try)
