Always thought I should check that out someday. This year – being asked by the staff to come film it was enough to pull me out. And I’m glad for it. It’s a really cool event!

I’ll let you see for yourself!

That service is absolutely necessary in the world these days, and it’s wonderful to know that there are people out there that are doing their best to fill the need!

I was invited to a party at the Hilton Hotel for HOPE last night by one of my favorite YouTube users, a musician named FatBlueMan.
He’s generally a friendly guy who makes great music, and after seeing his video for Secret Garden, I’m convinced he’s a man of multi-talents: of course writing and creating music, but also filming, editing, and scouting great street musicians.
Secret Garden is a band that he found playing on the street in Nagoya where he lives. He brought them over to his apartment and recorded them in his living room. Then pulled them out to a nearby university and shot a whole music video for them!

All that is sweet, but on top of that he’s a humanitarian as well. He’s volunteered as the creative director for HOPE in Japan and written and recorded a theme song for them called Bubbling Up From the Ground.  Check it out!

Last night I went out to the dinner and enjoyed a great time meeting some really cool YouTubers and learning more about that charity (and enjoying some good food. :P )

Here’s the vid I made:
