I couldn't make it to Solfest yesterday, but today I paid Hopland a visit with my dad and Caleb. It was sweet. In case you aren't familiar with Solfest, it's an annual festival in Hopland that celebrates being "green." The hippie vibe was ever present, even more so than last year, but the merchandise was awesome. There was a guy teaching people how to carve wood using a magnifying glass and the sun. A fresh-squeezed strawbery lemonade place. Organic burritos. Insulated housing. Lots of Prii. Solar Panels. A button and bumper sticker shop. And just about more hemp than any other place in the world. There was even hempmilk. Any of that strike your fancy? If so, you should definitely come to the next Solfest. We'd love to have you.
I got lots of great stuff at Solfest: a "Coexist" bumper sticker, a button incribed with the message "Bullets don't kill people. Gaping wounds in vital organs kill people," a Solfest T-shirt, a magnification-engraved stick, and a Call2Recycle wrist strap and T-shirt. Since my dad forgot to bring the camera, I have no photos of the actual event, but check these out. You can't really see the T-shirt or button, but you gotta love that stick.
