GROW BY JUSTIN FULCHER

I spent all day at the LA Times Book Festival.

The Killing of John Lennon ipod

While there I attended numerous panels that offered invaluable insights on the state of the publishing business from experts passionate about books. Additionally, I discovered new books, new authors, and some very tasty salt and vinegar chips as I strolled around the festival located on the grounds of the UCLA Campus.

But, my favorite discovery of the day was LA YOUTH a newspaper by and about teens (www.LAYOUTH.com).

The March/April 2009 featured Justin Fulcher on the front page. The article lead me to this documentary.  I was very moved and inspired to see a young man (15 years old) understand the power of HOPE, but most importantly the ability to express it.
