Looks like a big Earth Weekend shaping up in Chicago. Green Festival lands there for the first time since taking place for years in San Francisco and after debuting last fall in DC.
Here are some events I'll be attending and appearances I'm making. Hope to see you there if you're in town:
Thursday, April 19: Reading and signing of our new book How Green is Your City? at Barbara's bookstore at UIC (1218 S. Halsted), 7:30 p.m.
Friday, April 20: I'll be discussing How Green is Your City? on WBEZ radio, 91.5 FM (local NPR affiliate): "8:48 Show" airs 9 a.m. and 8 p.m.
Friday afternoon: Wrigley Field. The Cubs. One of greenest teams in the US? Accessible by multi-modal public transit, walking, biking--drivers are discouraged by lack of official parking; the beating heart of the Wrigleyville neighborhood's economy; natural grass and vines, fresh air off the lake. What more can I say? Way to rally, Kurt!
Saturday, April 21: Green Fest opens at McCormick Place. I'll be moderating a panel at 2 p.m. (room e350) on "Chicago's Journey to Become the Greenest City in the Nation" with Sadhu Johnston, Chicago Environmental Commissioner; Jacky Grimshaw, VP of Policy, Transportation and Community Development at the Center for Neighborhood Technology; and Jim Slama, President of Sustain USA.
At 4 pm. in Room 1 at the Green Fest on Saturday other SustainLane folks including Haru Komuro and I will be presenting on "Markets are Conversation" about the convergence of the green market with the internet and applied social networking.
At 5 p.m. and also I think at 3, I will be doing book signings of How Green is Your City? at the New Society Publishers booth.
Funky Buddha Lounge for Green Fest party Saturday night, 728 W. Grand. Yee-hah!
Sunday: More Green Fest: stop by the SustainLane booth to meet our team.
Monday: Brown bag presentation about How Green is Your City? at University of Chicago, Harris School of Public Policy, noon-1:30 p.m., 1155 East 60th Street, Chicago
This is not easier to do in a such a full city.
