Sorry for the delay in posts… we have been quite busy here with wedding planning, business plan classes, that other job, and putting our material together for the Green Long Beach! Festival, which we participated in last Saturday.
The 3rd Annual Green Long Beach! Festival was organized by the good people at Green Long Beach!, a local organization committed to bringing together individuals and organizations to promote environmental awareness in our lovely city. The event was full of a variety of environmentally-minded individuals and organizations, eager to show you their psychedelic paintings, talk about urban foodscapes, or tell you about their succulents grown in antique watering cans. We set up our humble table and quickly realized we were not in the ideal place for “food-related” foot traffic (between the Henna booth and fluorescent spiritual paintings? um, no). After moving (twice), we began to feel a little more comfortable. We talked with interested festival attendees and other vendors and collected some new contacts. Our presentation on “Decoding Food Labels and Common Catch-phrases” attracted some attendees that were not our friends so, for us, that was a success! Overall, it was a good opportunity and I’m glad we were able to take advantage of it.
We would like to thank all of our friends who came out to support us, including Joe and Tova, Perica, Maria and Sabrina, Jen, Gabrielle, Amanda and Colin, Sean, and John! We were very happy to see so many of our friends taking time out of their weekends to come visit us. Also, thanks to Melissa for urging us to participate and helping us get situated! We may not have been there otherwise.
