Renewable Energy Roundup & Green Living Fair

Sept 26-28th. Fredericksburg, TX.

This event may not be as big as Wisconsin's (heheh) but is a great opportunity to learn new things about RE and a more sustainable lifestyle...

This event also offers an opportunity for po.com members to meet.
Post a response if you're interested in a get-together.

Ya think Shanny, Aaron, Ludi, EmersonBiggins, and PeakingAroundtheCorner might make the Roundup this year?

If New Belgium has that wind-powered brew again, you can count on it!

Sounds good. If anyone is interested in carpooling from DFW, just PM me to see if we can work something out.

Well, the Roundup was educational and fun as usual. The keynote speaker Saturday spoke about peak oil briefly while showing his Powerpoint presentation, which included ASPO's oil discovery graphs, etc, and many peoples' eyes were opened.

Too bad more Texas peakoilers didn't make it to the Roundup. But I understand. With Robert Plant on stage (former Led Zep member playing at the Austin City Limits festival) it was difficult to get more of the Austin crowd to get out to Fredericksburg... lol

About 7,000 people from around the world visited the Roundup this year.

Damn, this escaped me, and I even committed to going this year.

I had a family reunion come up this last weekend. Ugh!

I know. You never know what you're going to get with some of us.

I got a haircut.



There's always next year. The Roundup is an annual event held on the last weekend of September, so mark your calendars! I think Texas and other peakoil.com members could take advantage of the networking potential.

Your lemon sprout is doing fine, EB. It's over a foot tall now and getting bigger. I'll look after it for another year...

Edited for spelling.

[emersonbiggins]

Excellent. Take good care of it for me.

Ahhh, to be back there in 2007 again - not yet sure if the runup in oil and the global economy meant TEOTWAWKI, but looking into options as though it was. Now that we have some questions answered, many more still remain, and new ones emerge almost daily.

Those were better times.

Would like to make it down there for this year's Roundup, but have some family items to tend to this weekend.

Have fun!
