I went to a great event last night at the State Theater called Greendrinks. I pulled this from their website:
Portland Greendrinks is part of the international Greendrinks network -- an informal, volunteer-managed social networking group built around a common interest in the natural environment. It occurs on the second Tuesday of every month, starting at 5:30 pm. The goal of Greendrinks is pretty simple: good times shared among people working in, or interested in, environmental and sustainability issues.
My understanding is each month they pick a nonprofit to highlight and that nonprofit gets the proceeds from the event ($2 entry with a drinking vessel, $5 without) plus lots of publicity. The sponsorship the event gets is amazing (read: free beer). Last night drew a huge crowd, mostly young people (Andrew and I were slightly overstimulated) AND they were selling raffle tickets to benefit the featured nonprofit, Portland Music Foundation. I was feeling victorious so I bought three tickets, and I won! I got to pick from a variety of tickets to shows at the State. I now have two tickets to ROBYN on January 29th, which I was definitely going to purchase anyway, so this was amazing.
If you haven't checked out her newest album, Body Talk, do yourself a favor. It's without a doubt my favorite album to dance party to.
P.S. Yeah, I'm still alive, I've just been really busy being Santa's Elf and doing lots of other super awesome things.
