LA Green Drinkers,
Thanks to everyone who endured the garlic attack at the Silver Lake Green Drinks - the upcoming Green Drinks ( Thursday, September 7th ) should have markedly less falling objects... we hope.
You can read a humorous report on the incident at Sludgie.com

Remember-
If anyone wants to bring literature to promote their green issue
please do so-
we will have an area for brochures, business cards, etc.
We will also take back any extra literature back and bring them to the next Green Drinks.
The main thing is just to relax and have a good time.

Request
Greenopia, the Urban Dweller's Guide to Green Living, is seeking information on L.A.-area festivals and events where we may promote our guide via tabling and sponsorship. We are specifically looking for larger festivals and events between now and October, but are open to information that falls outside of those parameters.
If your organization is hosting or participating in an event that would be a good fit for Greenopia, please contact Elektra Grant at elektra@conscious-adventures.com
