Hello T Guild, Great meeting tonight. We organized our piece of the SB Fest on the spot with the help of WI FI.
Please check out this SB wiki link to see who is participating (and responsible for contacting participants) at the Oct 1 Ballard Sustainability Festival ..... in regards to TRANSPORTATION. If you have questions or can think of others we might want to contact, please email both Aaron Kahn and me, Vic Opperman. We will be in touch soon. Thanks! Vic

Vic: We like very much what you folks are doing. Pencil us IN for October 1st. Too early to confirm who will be there and what we can do. I am always ready to Grab a Micraphone and start to EVangelize... Im sure we can come up with at least two or three good EV Examples... Keep in touch. And we will do the same...

I drove up and down the paved portion for about 6.6 miles total without running over or gassing any of the walkers. I think it went pretty well. Being busy driving and avoiding running anyone over I didn't get much chance to evangelize or hand out fliers. but I had some plastered to the car and under the windshield. About half of them dissappeared, hopefully into the hands of receptive souls. Back in the hanger for another 2hour charge before heading home. Two kinda sour notes to end the day. First this event drew probably 2-3 thousand people. Judging by the literature that was THROWN AWAY, NOT RECYCLED it looks like they planned for 5 times that many. A dozen upopened boxes of probably 500-1000 60 page magazines were just tossed into the dumpster. There was no attempt to recycle anything. I was outraged by that and still am. ;^( given that we residents are fined for having any recyclable scrap in our garbage. I think there's some call(s)to the city/county/organizers in my future. The second sour note happened just as I was about to unplug and head home, would that I would've closed my book 2 minutes sooner. A high spirited 10 year old kid slammed into the Honda with a HomeDepot style flatbed pushcart. Gave me a nasty jolt as I was facing the other way and didn't see it coming. Fortunately the dent being smooth and not a crease was easily pushed out with my hand. I missed a good educational opportunity with the kid though. I should've had him push the dent out. He would've remembered both the consequences of his reckless actions a little longer and perhaps learned something usefull early in his life... oh well there's next year perhaps ... but god spare me the 10yr olds! > Steven Lough wrote: > Thanks to Dave Barden ( again ) for volunteering to drive a camera man > up and down the Burke - Gilman Trail in his Electric Honda 600 to film > and to take pictures of the walk-a-thon-ers for Cancer. > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > And here is a "Thanks" from Sustainable Ballard, and a Radio Interview > comming up at 6-6:30 today ( Thursday 10/15/06 on KBCS 91.3 FM -------- > > > Hello Neighbors- > > > > Sustainable Ballard is sending out this special announcement to > > encourage you all to listen to KBCS 91.3FM's "One World Report" > > tomorrow, Thursday, October 5th from 6:30-7:00 pm.
