My 2nd Job
So on top of mixing, being such a boss DJ and all (haha cuz u know EVERYBODY knows me..ya right) ha so anyways another hobby of mine is film making. That being said, I was out in Cali this summer at a film camp..yes I still goto camp i'm only 17. But so I was out there this summer; to be specific Berkeley. I made a documentary about the tree protest that was goin on out there. If you're from that area or just keep up with the news you know what i'm talkin about. If not heres the spark
notes version:
the university of cal wanted to cut down some trees to build an athletic facility closer to their stadium. but the trees were endangered in the area, and it was illegal to cut them down. a group of protesters found out what was going on and staged a tree sit; since they were living in the trees they couldn't be cut down. it was an ongoing battle when i got there they had been in the trees for 565 days. so they weren't backing down. the court reviewed the case and decided the university has the right to do whatever they want on their own property, the building just had to be earthquake safe. that means trees gone, people kicked out, 567 days and they lost.
the point of that story was to get to this one haha. so its a camp right? and you meet people at camp. i met this dude Cole and he made a sick ass music video for the war in iraq. its not pro or anti anything so check it out!

wowww they put in soo much just to get shut down.... 567 days?? wtf....its a little funny and sad.
yaa the university kinda screwed them. they actually won while i was there, the court ruled that the buildings werent proven to be stable against earthquakes. but a few months later it was appealed and the university proved the buildings were ok and the trees were gone
