Hey peoples, good to know plans are being made for our 1st Reunion. I get the feeling that I am the first person to even cruise in here, but hopefully others will follow. I am in Dhaka after two years in Kenya working for AMREF. I am graduating next year from BRAC University doing MPH and hopefully after here will be working with Somalian refugees in Northern Kenya as a public health official. If its in His plans, I will get my chance to see you all in 2012 if not sooner, when I am the president of Kenya.
My Mac Memories: Getting a wake up call from a friend in Florida asking me to turn on the TV, 9-11... all is fair in love and heartbreaks... Springfests... Mac radio, late nights and finals... regrets that I still have for never taking a minor in arts... my friends that I still keep it real with even though I am half a galaxy away... getting kicked out of Turk 2 days before graduation... life lessons learned in my college days that are applicable today in my daily living with different cultures of this world of ours... making it out of college with scratches but not broken... being strong and holding on....
I am a breakdancer and I am involved in a startup producing online breakdance instructional videos. We started out street performing in Hollywood and decided that the Internet is the future and that the future is where we want to be.
Ultimately, we are creating a space on the Internet/TV (as they will have merged when this exists) that highlights the things we love: breakdance, spirituality, cool things like stop-motion video, and any other cool stuff that comes along.
Friday night (this was written on Nov. 12, 2006), I went to the red-carpet premiere (my first) of Fast Food Nation and met Richard Linklater and I got a celebrity endorsement from him for our first site, howtodotherobot.com. Check it out, it's pretty rad if I do say so myself.
The next site, learn2breakdance.com, should be functional within a month and our group site, elasticillusion.com, is actually not that interesting at the moment. You can check me out if you so desire at myspace.com/britisme or britwolfson.com (which unfortunately I haven't been updating lately).
Now, I know I didn't graduate from Mac — I actually graduated from Vermont College in November 2005 with a BA in Popping, the dance I do — but ya'll is my family and my heart is forever at 1600 Grand, so I will for sure be attending.
My Mac Memories: Smoking outside of Kagin (how times change, both for me and for Kagin), doing acid in Dupre, staying up all night in Turck, skipping class at Olin-Rice, linguistics with Sara Dart, Turck 4, Dupre 2 West, SLAC, finding it so easy to find women to hook up with, passing out at 8 p.m. because I was already blacked out drunk, 1515, all nighters talking about politics and life and how we were to live, QU dances... Ahhh, the memories… It will be nice to see you all again!
