I would really like to see this blog take off and you can help to make that happen. I am looking for two things:
1) Expanding the scope of the website. I want more visual posts: comics, photographs, paintings, graphic design, video links, etc… Most of all, I would like to start filming sketches. I already have a handful of people interested. We have competent, funny writers (at least I think). We have access to film equipment. Why the hell not film? We do need actors/actresses. If you are unlucky enough to be in the cultural node that is the greater Albany area (a little harsh, I know) and you’re not scared of the camera, reach out to me. I want this to eventually become a multi-media venue.
2) Expanding the roster of hipster contributors. It’s simple. The more quality posts, the more web traffic.
If you are interested, or have friends that you think would be interested, I highly encourage you to contact me about contributing to the blog. If you know me personally, contact me directly. For those of you who are interested and don’t know me, e-mail me at selfhatinghipster@gmail.com with a couple of writing samples, comics, or some other equivalent to act as a mini-portfolio for me to review.
Any and all suggestions are welcome. If you have a great idea that you think could really get this blog up and sprinting, be sure to tell me! Before long, you too can Occupy Self Hating Hipster…squattin’ and postin’.
Thanks, everybody!
I thought by the title that you were going to discuss some socio-economic theories and whatnot.
But – a side note – I am not quite sure exactly what the ‘Occupy’ protests are all about, but I recently watched the documentary “Inside Job” (2010) which goes in-depth about the global financial crisis and focuses on wall street/investors/mortgage crisis.. and really makes it accessible and I think it might have been one of the main catalysts to people’s outrage.. I highly recommend everyone check it out! Matt Damon narrates it, so if nothing else.. you got Damon to listen to!
