For any Ypulse readers in southern California who either don't have the budget to attend Friday's Ypulse College Mashup, can't leave the office or who are not focused on reaching college students but would like to come out and meet other Ypulse folks, we are setting aside 20 tickets to join us Thursday night for our evening program and opening reception only. The tickets are $45 and will be purchased on site (cash or check preferred, but we will be able to take credit cards as well). If you would like to attend the event Thursday evening, you must email me and let me know since we only have a limited number of tickets available. I'm reposting the description of Thursday evening's program below.

Meet The Producer & Subjects Of 'Generation Next' @ The Ypulse College Mashup

If you're coming, you don't want to miss our Thursday evening program featuring Jeff Milstein, the producer behind the documentary "Generation Next" (parts 1 and 2) which aired on PBS. The documentary was informed by research on 18-25 year olds from the Pew Center for People And The Press and features interviews with Gen Nexters from around the country. You can watch the trailer here. It will be a great stage setter for Friday's program. We also have two subjects from the films who will be joining the conversation. They are:

John Fiske
At 22, John created, produced, and hosted a local San Diego CBS Radio talk program entitled "Generation Y University." As lead host, he instigated discussion and controversy among his co-hosts, who were also his childhood friends. The nightly program aired Monday through Friday from 7-10 p.m. and engaged the greater San Diego area in lively and sometimes heated topics. "Generation Y University" tackled topics from a Gen-Y perspective. In December 2006, John was named one of "50 People to Watch in 2007" by San Diego Magazine. Married by age 21, and a lawyer by age 23, John still lives in San Diego ten minutes from where he grew up.

Jo Muse
Known as one of advertising's most imaginative and progressive leaders, Jo is the founder of Muse Communications, and has led the first and only multicultural ad agency in the U.S. to national prominence. Today, his company continues as one of the leading agencies that addresses diverse market segments, including African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and Pacific Islanders and the GLBT community. During the last 20 years, Jo has produced award-winning work for such world-class clients as American Honda Motor Corporation, NIKE, MGM Mirage, Wells Fargo, Sempra Energy, the U.S. Army and the White House.

The Thursday evening program will be followed by an opening reception for all Ypulse College Mashup attendees.
