goin' green - it's easy - just walk there....

...then make sure you take a cab home the long way.
tonight shauna and i went to the swell show at the hong kong bank of canada on georgia street. the propellor kids have a hand in it and i like to support whatever it is that they have going so...it's a design show of sorts that focuses on sustainable products and material usage in these products....or something like that - you know, a kitchen table made from old inner tubes, bamboo chairs that will biodegradable over the next three years and then can be used as filler in your garden, that sort of thing. i ran into dr. rob kozak there and we discussed our book, "the longest cut", which both of us had thought the other had lost interest in...i sure haven't, and apparently, neither has he, so it's back on the burner. i'm taking pre-orders for this next best seller.
mishi was making her way outta there as we arrived and i only had about three words with her. she was with her brother, peter, and they were off to get some food...like pronto. no time to talk.
it's was really a who's who of the sustainable set. pam, tobe and nic from propellor, me, shauna (oh wait, we have three vehicles and i use gas mowers so i'm not really on that list....), artist cam andrews and his lovely wife and better artist jess, dr. rob, karen k., mark mushet and gudrun will of the vancouver review and mark mushet photography - who recently celebrated their 17th year together (holy ape shit...), glass artist robert studer, etc....corie tornack failed to make the play as i suspect he was watching his poor calgary flames get taken to the cleaners by the san jose sharks...maybe next year...maybe.
after shooting the breeze/shot with the kids, we headed over to get some snacks at joey tomatoes...huh? yup, we ended up at joey tomatoes...it made me think of joel. no reason, it just did.
ok...so it was a big night out...tomorrow night it's the movers and shapers show at the vancouver museum....maybe i'll run into that dick marc bricault there....or maybe larry...or both...could be entertaining.
