Live from NYU, it's Parks1 Mayoral Candidate's Forum : The Opening
Holly cab!
Justin Krebs is in da house! He's smoking. He's warming up the crowd and everybody is eating it all. The place is packed and loving it.
Justin is the campaign manager for Parks1 and he is definitely presenting himself as political material.
Christian DiPalermo is the Executive Director. He's just said NYC has 28,000 acres of open land and they are the only advocacy in the city for this open land.
Moderator : Dave Evans
Panelists : Errol Lewis and Eric Renquist
Candidates : Ognibene, Miller, Fields, Ferrer.

Do you think
Krebs should run for city council?
Hmmmmm. Interesting question.
This city is awfully conservative when it comes to the age of candidates. Maybe another 5 years.
Anybody in his position and of his age should have 5 year plan. Seriously. There are a lot of candidates that come out of the woodwork and nobody has heard of them but the political establishment has because they've worked in campaigns in one way or another.
So, just to shake things up --- and thanks to the power of the internet --- I'd advice someone like him to build up an arsenal of social capital before even thinking of running for any kind of job.
Focus on growing real social capital not just political capital. And I think that he is already doing that working for Parks 1, through Cosmopolity, The Tank and Drinking Liberally.
There's actually a number of young'uns -- men and women -- I will have a great time watching grow politically. It's exciting and definitely a reminder that there is still hope for the left.
Just my $.02.
