If any of you have ever been to the Breakfast Club in Angel, Islington, you’ll know it’s a cosy little place, ideal for relaxing and having a stress-free time. Well, that was not the case when Duane, Saf and I decided to join forces and hammer out our plans for Sense for the next year.
The meeting started at about 6:30pm and went a little something like this:
- Lots of arguing
- Lots of food
- But lots of agreeing too
- Orange juice
- A steady flow of ideas
- Decisions left to be made
- Free badges
- Realising we had lots of work to do
- The nice man at the Breakfast club who made me and Saf smile J
Before we knew it, it was nearly 11pm. A decision which could have taken 30 seconds to make turned in to a 30 minute dispute. We couldn’t function anymore. Officially pooped, we called it a day.
But it wasn’t all stress and disagreements:
- Business cards have been ordered and they look very swish
- Word is spreading about Sense
- Everyon

Went to the AMAZING Battlefront event tonight…
Where 20 young people are campaigning on various issues from gang culture to proper recycling of the millions of free newspapers that are given out left right and centre in London everyday.
WOW what can I say the whole setup was amazing. The young people left me feeling inspired and taught me a thing or two.
Most important I think reminded me to listen and ask more questions (Thanks Alex!) reminded me how great it is to see young people fired up about changing the world (Zander!) and made me laugh out loud with renditions of the editing process (Zainab!)
Thanks guys I had a ball and bumped into people I really needed to see. Double bonus!
Goodnight and God Bless. Tomorrow it all begins again…

If you can think of a better title for this post, please feel free to send it in by comment.
Remember the days when you had to send your suggestions in by postcard? You’ve gotta love progress. Real time baby. Real time.
This is a small post of appreciation to Krishna who has created an excellent draft consultation. Really looking forward to going over it tonight.
Other than that, it’s back to work for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So TomTom Nation, MTV, V, Clubs for Young People and Apple have all got together to do something for young people.
It’s called BOOM! and 1000 young people will be trained in video editing by the end of 2009.
Apple provide the kit, MTV the digital space and the airtime for the films, V accredit the volunteering time and Clubs for Young People is the network of clubs that distribute the training etc.
What a great project, put together by TomTom Nation.
Here’s the SENSE TV film from the launch. Check out the BOOM! website here
