It was a complete race to the finish of course; I was literally cleaning the construction dust off the toilets while Bryan was hanging the bathroom doors & Kaos is riggin up LED lights. Our architect & Pecha Kucha host Ken Cowart has the best poker face ever!
The event had well over 100 people in attendance; all open minded creatively thinking people. Ken opened with a video from the founders in Tokyo welcoming the Tampa chapter to this world wide network. When Bryan spoke welcoming the crowd & he told them the event was entire off grid & being powered by vegetable oil the crowd erupted in cheers.
In every aspect this was a perfect opening event for us at the Roosevelt. The presentations were very intersting & new connections were made. Example - a local teacher at Plant High school said she wanted to bring her class down to get interacting with Project 3.0. So she was introduced to our intern for the Earthship - Ethan. Ethan attends a small "experiential" high school up in Ohio and he is camping on the Earthship site til March 27th on an 8 week internship. Other internships he's had include a stint in stand up comedy at the Improv; his next one is going rock climbing. He is a remarkably well rounded young man at 18 years old. You learn through life experience. Imagine that.
We also proudly welcome two new sponsors to Project 3.0:
