Fall semester is almost here, well actually class started the 14th for UNCG. Class starts the 21st for A&T. But onto the subject, for a couple of weeks students have been moving into their apartments and dorms and I’ve been seeing that the clubs have been packed. Strolling downtown at night is crazy!! So with so many Back-to-School parties going on, it’s so hard to choose from. “What’s parties gonna be hot? What are they charging? How far is it?” These are some the questions I hear all the time.
I’ve got word on one of the HOTTEST parties Greensboro’s Back-to-School has seen in years. The N.C.E.A is hosting a party at The Ballroom featuring none other than GIRLS GONE WILD and MTV. You already know what Girls Gone Wild does and MTV will be there to capture it all. The Ballroom will also be featuring one the Real World cast members.
Everyone should come show there support and help put Greensboro on the map!!! -lol
Here’s the local advertisement for the event

If you could make a change, would you? August 10, 2006

I wanted to take a sec to give reference to my friend Dara’s blog and one of her recent posts. Her post Citizen Journalists really caught my attention and I want to help spread the word. The post is about Black Family Channel (www.blackfamilychannel.com) who is developing a national show called UR Television. “The mission is to share the important stories in our communities that are often overlooked by mainstream media.”
This show is designed around the idea that news content needs to be democratized, giving everyone, not just the media conglomerates, control of the stories that are told. A citizen journalist can be anyone who desires to find truth, expose inequality, and has the technical savvy to produce a story. Anything that is making a difference in your neighborhood, positively or negatively is greatly valued. Just think about what’s going on in your neighborhood and how everyone( the community) is feeling about it. They are looking for compelling stories including, podcasts, videoblogs, documentaries, and trailers that run up to four minutes. If you have an interesting idea, pick up a camera, do and interview or two, edit a short piece, then share it with UR Television.
Submission format: BetaSP, MiniDV, DVD
