Chicago Green Festival Attracts Huge Crowds
Our first-ever Chicago Green Festival, held over Earth Day weekend, broke records and exceeded all expectations. With more than 30,000 people attending, it was our biggest launch of a new Green Festival yet. Setting an example for other large-scale events, we recovered more than 92 percent of the Green Festival's waste through recycling and composing, and we offset all carbon emissions associated with the festival.

I must add, some of us SEAers helped accomplish that! Even though Mariel and I couldn't convince a man to buy the "perfect scarf, the only one with just the right amount of orange fabric", all 10 or 12 of us helped out in numerous other ways.
Upcoming festivals this year:
Washington, DC Oct. 6-7, 2007, San Francisco, CA Nov 9-11, 2007, Seattle, WA April 12-13 2008 (I think the Seattle one is new) and Chicago, IL (TBA).

Dogstock!

Attention...attention...another local festival on the scenes: Dogstock at Melvern Lake, KS on July 26-29, 2007...

>
Dogstock is an eclectic four day music and camping festival scheduled for July 26 - 29, 2007 on an 81 acre farm in Melvern, KS. This is a multi-faceted, pet-friendly all ages event designed to raise awareness of crucial animal welfare issues as well as raising much needed funds for the dogs. Animal lovers are invited to bring their lucky dog to the festival, however all pets must be spayed/neutered and have a current vaccination record and all children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Tickets for this 4 day party are only $60, and it's for a good cause, so check it out. Some of the talent confirmed are listed below. There is great talent there, some you know, some you should, and Fort Collins is heavily represented! For more information, check out www.dogstockfestival.com or www.myspace.com/dogstockmusicfest.We hope to see you there!
