CHI Bite: Fest Times at Ridgemont High

May 08, 2009 Trouble viewing this email? Read it online... GREEN FESTIVAL Fest Times at Ridgemont High If 10,000 Chicago Biters compost their paper napkins for 1 year instead of tossing them out, we'll keep the weight of 1,192 high schoolers in paper out of landfills. Don't wanna stay Penn-t up at home next weekend? Ditch the mall scene and hit the Green Festival at Navy Pier, with 350+ exhibitors. Score an organic summer frock and free Numi teas (Chamomile Lemon, we love you), or if you're paycheckless, head for the green jobs aisle for info and inspiration. Some highlights: tunes from the bluegrass-y Big Sky String Band and meringue-rockin' La Pupuña, veggie-licious chow from places like the Chicago Diner, and (lest we forget…) organic IPA from Great Lakes Brewing Co. It's dope. The Green Festival offsets 100% of its energy use and keeps a whopping 95%-98% of the event's waste outta landfills. We'll be elbow-rubbing with the Urban Worm Girl (compost expert, not break dancer), high-fiver Marisol Becerra, and local food goddess Alice Waters. Chicago Green Festival; May 16, 10 am-7 pm and May 17, 11 am-6 pm; Navy Pier, 600 E. Grand Ave. at the lakefront. Tickets, $15/adult; $10/students and bike- and CTA-riders. Map It Print this tip (on scrap paper), and present it at the ticket desk to get $5 off admission. SPONSOR Three of the Fast Times at Ridgemont High cast members - Nicolas Cage, Sean Penn, and Forest Whitaker - went on to win Academy Awards for Best Actor.
