BIL Conference at the Queen Mary

Queen Mary, Long Beach on March 3-5, 2012

Meet TED's younger brother BIL. He's more rebellious, so don't expect him to apply some deodorant. His hair is green, purple, grey, just anything but virgin hair. He's actually a she, or is he?

Anyway, as many talks as there were going on, my heart was not that into BIL. Heck, even TED doesn't do it for me anymore.

Realistically speaking, the BIL Conference was enchanting with scheduled guest speakers discussing subjects from sex to space. The more affordable and accessible, the more diverse!

Some of the topics were remedial and introductory, such as that on the topic of privilege, but some talks were compensated by open discussions. The three-day fete package came with lunch, as well as all you can drink Zico and Activate Water.

It was a chill time basking amidst an unidentifiable crowd of mainly open-minded masses. The end.

L.A. Zine Fest ⁂

Sunday's inaugural L.A. Zine Fest at Spring Street's The Last Bookstore went awesomer than I expected. An organizer and my friend both said that L.A. stole the thunder of the San Francisco namesake in terms of attendees. KXLU and L.A. Record, as well as cassette tapes joined in on the hoopla, too.

Zine content from CIA conspiracies to blameworthy subjects to homosatire were available from as cheap as free 99 (or trade) to no more than $20.

I forgot to bring ca$h, but the perks of not carrying around change eventually made up for it. I got a "Modern Dullard" zine for $3 and "Shut the Fuck Up" button-looking beer bottle opener for free!

So the whole intention of zines pretty much surpasses that of photographs in terms of conveying raw passion and a childlike extension of the mind. Or at least, that's how I feel about it!
