Ditto to the above^
"love this quote: "The I.E. event couldn’t have been for Richmond’s so-called creative thinkers. Most of the people I’d identify as local spark plugs would have spent the conference’s hefty $125 admission fee on something more practical — a rent payment, say, or a new piece of software"
I couldnt have said it better myself"....
Also
MightyCaseyMedia, you can get an amen for this:
"Creative energy comes from the bottom, not the top. Frustration, rage-against-the-machine, feeling marginalized will drive either crime or creativity - admittedly, sometimes, it will drive both - why not offer the opportunity from the bottom up, rather than the top-down approach taken by i.e.?"
