Thrift shopping at Greendrinks
Because I had another event to attend, I only managed to be there for the first 20 minutes of last night's Greendrinks at SPACE Gallery. Here's a shot I took on my way out the door, and as you can see the place was already packed. Later on, Adam and I ran into a couple regular Greendrinkers who said they couldn't get in because the venue was over capacity. So I guess it's safe to say the monthly event was another success.
For the first time in its short history, Greendrinks charged attendees $1 per beer. These brews came from the fine folks at Peak Organic and Sebago. For an extra $6, Greendrinkers could pick up one of the limited edition SPACE Gallery pint glasses you can see on the table.
The other cool feature of last night's party was the specially curated boutique of clothing and accessories put together by Goodwill. Here Katie Gallagher checks out the handbag selection.
Even though we were only there for such a short time, we still ran into lots of fun local people, including Charlie Rowe and Alison LePage.
Here's Jesse Baines, one of the wonderful people who coordinates these networking events. She and the other Greendrinks organizers have a new offering for those of us looking to connect with other green-minded people. It's called Greendrinks Lunches, and it's an online tool that sets up group lunch dates for the Friday after Greendrinks. The next one is this Friday, May 15. So hop on and sign up, and maybe we'll get to have lunch together.
