March Madness Mindshare!


LA’s best kept secret isn’t a secret any more. This month’s Mindshare, held at Club 740 downtown, was packed to the rafters with hundreds of attendees. From Harvard professors to indie rock stars, Mindshare is always a mash-up of the best of LA’s social scenes.

The night started off with a hands-on lesson is negotiation, which included maybe the largest group of people ever engaged in single round of competitive arm wrestling. (I’ll have to check with Guinness on that statistic.)

Then, after talks on 21st century tree houses for adults and a project providing sustainable housing for the homeless of Los Angeles, the evening closed out with an olde-tyme gospel revival. The whole crowd stomped and clapped in time to the wailing of the gravely-voiced lead singer (who looked more like and IT consultant than an old time gospel singer).

Proving once again, that you can’t judge a book by its cover, nor an IT consultant by his pocket protector.
