Presto Electro

As many of you know, I am a member of all sorts of environmentally friendly, earth-conscious groups: Slow Food, Engineers Without Borders, and The North Texas Energy and Environment Club are the most active of the bunch. And they are all pretty big fans of the same planet. Ours. Earth.

So for Earth Week I was a busy, busy boy. I was routinely triple-booked, and everything I was invited to was EXTREMELY COOL! It was not easy picking and choosing where to be at any given time this week. Check out my extremely complicated schedule for earth week:

(I nearest-neighbor resized it on purpose for censoring purposes because I am a photoshop PRO)

Upon closer inspection, I was actually quadruple-booked in some places. Sheesh. And I didn't even get involved (on an organizational level) with the bulk of the earth day celebrations! Check out this list of Earth Day Goings-On that I had nothing to do with on the main campus:

There were also a ton of events at Discovery Park, too. But I can't find hide nor hair of the poster for those events. On Earth Day proper (April 22^nd) there was a totally awesome Earth Fest at Discovery Park. It was at lunch time, and the main campus' Earth Fest was at dinner time, so if you really wanted to (and believe me I wanted to) you could've gone to both, and ate like a KING all day. I was (understandably, I hope) pretty beat by Thursday, so I went home and indulged in a nap during the main-campus earth-fest. But I did go to the Discover Park Earth Fest!!! Here is photographic proof:

Don't worry, I haven't joined the Federal Service they just had totally rad out-door laser tag at Earth Fest! They also fed us some excellent barbeque, and snow cones and ice cream. And while we were eating in the picnic area (which is in FULL BLOOM this spring, by the way) there was even a band providing some nice background music. Very classy. I am sure more pictures of the event will surface, so stay tuned! Hopefully there won't be too many more of me running around with a lasergun like some kind of lunatic…
