My friend Alex Naser-Hall makes good mixes - really good mixes actually - and is a regular guest curator on Invisible Children’s Monday Mini Mixtape.
Not only are we friends, we also work together…kind of. He lives in New York, me in DC, but we both do the same thing as City Coordinators in our respective cities.
Anyway, long story short, he just started a new blog for all the happenings of IC in NYC, which you should check out & follow; it’s like a lifestyle blog, but with purpose & trust me - you won’t be disappointed.
Today’s track is off his latest mix and has been playing on repeat in my iTunes for sometime now.
And why not? it’s Friday! And Happiness belongs me! (and you too!)

my friend Katy S sent this to me and it strangely enough has a considerable amount of parallels to my Invisible Children way of life

Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers is a rad crew of people who while travelling from place to place, record themselves doing covers of other songs and then upload them to Youtube. Here’s their rendition of Hall & Oat’s song, “I Can’t Go For That”
Ironically, I’m going on a road-trip with three guys today. I hope they’ll consider giving this a try.

my friend (and former Invisible Chldren teammate) Bryan is on tour in the Tri-State area this semester and stumbled upon this incredible find at a school in the area.
It also just happens to be Throwback Thursday which makes everything right.
How many do you recognize (and miss so so much?!?!) ?
