Greenfest is almost over
Just a quick update from the front lines here in the oil-soaked Bay Area…
While cleanup continues, thousands of consumers and anti-consumers will get back mingling and browsing around the hundreds of socially conscious businesses exhibiting at the ‘fest. It stuck me as a particular irony that such a tragedy should befall the only area of the US where the environment is a big enough deal that the idea of a plastic bag monster doesn’t seem all that strange. (The PBM stopped by our booth yesterday as well–strange, he has a French accent)
Anyway, one more short day (and some team meetings on Monday), and it’s back to working ‘in’ our business here at Green Options Media, rather than ‘on’ it. Although we successfully launched the infrastructure for our network of blogs in time to make our booth eminently worthwhile, we’ve still got a lot of details to polish, broken links from the old system to fix up, and green professionals to hire on to share their expertise and experience via the blogs in our network.
So, come contribute to our community, and keep an eye on us as we grow! (sustainably, of course)

I’m not so bad, you know… I’m a family monster with millions of little bag monster spawn to worry about. Some of them live under kitchen sinks, but most of them live in the bay and ocean. We love the water and it’s one of the main reasons we moved to San Francisco 40 years ago. That, and the fact that San Francisco was such a tolerant place where the Bag Monster Family could live free of oppression… at least that was the case until the “tolerant liberals” on the city council decided to kick us all out of town because we make an expensive mess and because a few of us were eaten by marine animals… Don’t they know better than to eat bag monsters? Well, I guess not. We disagree with the council, but we know when we’re not welcome… We’re going to have a going away party on Tuesday, November 20th from 6-9 at 111 Minna Gallery (at 2nd Street between Market and Mission).

Goodbye San Francisco! The Bag Monster Family will miss you!
Maybe we’ll move to Berkeley or Marin, I hear they still tolerate Bag Monsters…
