Alex Steed: "Stalled" in Middle America

by Kari Dunn Saratovsky on 23 Oct 2008

Last week we introduced you to Alex Steed as he set off on his cross country Millennials Changing America Tour.  While his trip started off a little rocky -- thanks to the 2000 Hyundai Elantra he's cruising in, he reported to me yesterday that he's hit a groove.  And, when he's not reporting from bathroom stalls like the video above - he's meeeting with folks like David Meikeljohn a member of Bang Gang - a decentralized, recreational cycle gang based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  We'll continue to hear pontifications from Alex from rest stops nationwide as he continues on his quest to understand millennials use of the internet for social change. And now, a note from Alex:

Hey there, everyone!

Here's a video that I took in the bathroom of a punk diner in Ann Arbor. If you watch closely, at the end someone tries to barge through the door and a quick look of terror overcomes me. Also, because I felt a crazy pressure to get it done quickly (there was someone waiting outside), I call the Interfaith Youth Core "Interfaith Youth Council." Whoops!

Thanks for watching, though. I look forward to updating you further very soon. Take good care in the meantime! 

- Alex
