Live Better.

So we're doing PR for the Better Living Show and I have to admit, when I first heard about it in early January, I was a little skeptical... would people really go to a show to learn how to live green?

Well, Kendall and I just got back from a lunch run to our other colleagues hosting members of the press at the show, and let me just say the place was packed! And this was at 1:00 ( the show officially opened to the public at noon today.) We actually had to hunt for a parking spot... don't worry, we found one.

But the most awesome highlight of the day was getting to shuttle Ed Begley, Jr. from his appearance on AMNW (Channel 2) to his son's house. We're now officially want to be the co-presidents of his fan club. I may not go out and buy my own wind turbine, but I definitely thought twice before chucking my yogurt container into the trash...

For those of you who are in P-town this weekend - check out the Better Living Show at the Portland Expo Center (take I-5 N to exit 306B - it's clearly marked.) The show is free, parking is $7. Ed is speaking tonight at 7 p.m.

And for Rose City fashionistas - Portland Fashion Week is hosting an eco fashion panel and installation fashion show tomorrow (Saturday) from 5 - 8 p.m. at the SustainableLife Stage (in the back right corner of the show floor.) Even cooler, you can actually bid on Fall 2008 looks in the PFW Fashion Pavillion during a silent auction; and if you win, the designer will custom the piece to your own measurements. How sweet is that?! Most importantly, proceeds go to Children's Cancer Association.

Till next time... now go get your green on!
