In 2009 Fast Company wrote and article on Mindshare LA saying: “Mindshare is a far cry from the champagne halls of aristocratic ghosts. Its ballooning popularity is emblematic of generation steeped in chaos and an unabashed need for personal fulfillment. If you ever come to LA, come to Mindshare. We’ll have some drinks, make friends, play video games, and find you a business partner.” And 2010 is only showing a continuation of that path

Marilyn Manson’s very own stage magician Rudy Coby rounded off a set of speakers that included the high minded LA Ballet, the hilarity of the patent office, thoughts on the creative process and award winning photography. And of course we had to bring a few latex clad models from Fierce Couture in the bring a balance of sexiness to the program. Paul, where’s your latex?!

See you June 17th for some more Enlightened Debauchery!

After a few undercover days back in LA – it was time back into the insanity. First up, the noble President of Syyn Labs, Adam Sadowsky, presented the OK Go RGM music video (now above 13m hits on YouTube!) at the second annual TEDxUSC. This was a special honor made even more special by the fact that we had displayed projects at the first TEDxUSC (in fact the first TEDx anywhere!).

Next up was to MC Mindshare LA – and having missed the previous 3 while I was in South America I was excited to be introducing trippy artwork, Derby Girls, the Hero’s Journey, bamboo sculpture AS WELL as my own presentation on 3 highlighted stories from my travels! Aaah, it’s good to be home
