Just arrived: UN Week's Digital Media Lounge

Never in my life have I seen so many bloggers in one room.

I'm here at 92Y, one of New York's largest community and cultural centers. Immediately, I'm directed towards a room with large double doors, where there a few hundred bloggers are holding mics up to each other's faces, interviewing Marianne Williamson, number one best selling author who had just spoken, and typing away at Twitter and blogger, facebook and more.

Now I'm off to listen to a "What girls can teach the world" panel. Kimberly Perry, director of Girl Up, Nancy Lublin CEO of DoSomething, Zainab Salibi, Founder of Women for Women International, Nancy Zhang, INternational Trustee, Key club teen, and Layne Gray, CEO of Vivanista.

Holstee: Wholesome Clothing

I love entrepreneurs. I love their passions. In fact, I think I'm Passionate about Passion.

So this weekend, I had dinner with Mike and Fabian (Sandbox). Mike, a Q-pac Grad and brainfather of "Holstee Clothing" and Fabian--the Swiss wonderman of entrepreneurship.

Holstee is a clothing line, technically, but is more of a lifestyle.

Check out their manifesto:

This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don’t like something, change it. If you don’t like your job, quit. If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over-analyzing; life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once: seize them. Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people. We are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating. Life is short. Live your dream, and wear your passion.

Basically, I want to wear their holster pocket shirts (wholesome and "holsters"!) and pocket this idea.

So make a business with your passions. Our economy will love you for it.

And go buy a shirt.
