I know what I’m doing on Saturday, January 23, 2010 and I’m inviting you to come along!

I’ll be attending the “Go Green Expo” at the Los Angeles Convention Center along with garden writer Billy Goodnick, (“Cool Green Gardens” at FineGardening.com).

Billy always brings out the kid in me, so there may be some antics in store.

I’ll make sure to bring my video camera to capture these moments plus the highlights of the expo to share with you.

The Go Green Expo focuses sustainable living products, services, education and lot’s of entertainment

Eat, Drink, Shop Green… and Get a Job!

Billy and I are going to  shop for the latest eco friendly products,  attend seminars on “green jobs,” “sustainable investing,” certified dog training, catch an “eco-fashion show,” visit garden business innovators, FarmScape and the Garden Nerd and maybe do some yoga.

That’s right, yoga!

We are going to eat too.

Lot’s of organic, locally produced food will be available along with organic wine tasting. (I’ll have Billy sample the wine for me, I’m driving).

Did I mention that there is a job fair on Saturday and Sunday? Resumes are required. Bring about a dozen of them.

They are not playing around here, they really want to help you find a job!

I recommend you visit the job fair before the wine tasting…I’m just saying.

Go Green Expo was smart to offer children’s activities on these days because you  know those rascals need to be entertained or mommy and daddy won’t be able to have any fun of their own!

Ed Begley Jr.

Mariel Hemmingway

Actress, Linda Blair will be hosting a pet rescue!

Ed Begley Jr. will be speaking on Saturday and Mariel Hemmingway on Sunday.

So who knows, I might come home with another dog!

Take a look at the complete program and    event schedule here.

Bradford Rand, Producer of Go Green Expo

I’m impressed with the work of Bradford Rand, the creator of the show who in 2 years has taken this Go Green Expo from “newbie”  in the  international green show category, to MAJOR player!

(I guess  it doesn’t hurt that Rand is an established event producer of over 20 years and already is  a MAJOR player in multiple market categories).

Plus, he’s from New York!  (Rand’s explanation).

Rand  has rallied the support of the major media, celebrities and community.

Hey, I’m even singing his praises on behalf of the “Garden World Report” show!

The “Rocking Green Event Producer!”

…On the subject of singing, apparently Rand isn’t just a “rock star” in the event’s field, he is an actual singer and will be performing along with the band, “Feast of Friends” at the legendary Viper Room in West Hollywood on Saturday night at 7:30 PM!

Rand and the band will be performing a tribute to the Doors music.

$10 bucks for an entertaining night with some fun “green mover’s and shakers” who will get  you moving too, sounds like a sustainable fee for most people!

Join Billy and I at the Go Green Expo on Saturday and please come over and say “Hi.”

We’ll be walking around!
