For those of you interested in green design, planning or construction, or sustainable development in general, you should check out Green Drinks. The concept behind Green Drinks is pretty simple: once a month, people who work in or are interested in the green design movement gather at a local pub and have a drink or two and network. That’s it. There’s no membership, no program, no committees, no dues, no organization per se. You don’t have to RSVP and no one keeps track of how frequently you attend. You just show up and have fun chatting and drinking with likeminded people. There are Green Drinks chapters worldwide.
Green Drinks Denver is organized by architects Jeff Bartosik and Josh Ward at klipp. Denver’s Green Drinks is held the last Thursday of every month starting at 6:00PM at Double Daughter’s at 1632 Market in LoDo. I’ve attended Green Drinks about four or five times now and have really enjoyed it. You’ll recognize some people from before, but you’ll also see plenty of new people to meet too. Every time it is a different crowd.
Each month, Green Drinks also spotlights a business or organization in the green design industry. This month, DenverInfill.com, along with Studio HT, are being featured! So come on down to Double Daughter’s this Thursday after work and hang out for a bit meeting new people and chatting about infill development and green design. See you there!
Cool…..
Has anyone signed up for the onion's free beer thing? If you sign up w/ the onion they send you invitations to monthly events at random bars in lodo for free beer. It has nothing to do with development or architecture but hey a beer means an open conversation.
Nothin wrong with a little green!
