Just back from a quick trip down to Boston. Stayed at Mom’s last night and attended a good work meeting this morning in downtown Boston. The meeting was in the famous Porter House Hotel. .. Hoe ot the prter house rolls and of the boston creme pie. I hadn’t been in there since my grandmother stayed there when I was in College more than 30 years ago.. I don’t think it’s changed a bit.. .. The halways are decorated with storys of the famous folks who have workde or stayed htere .. including

 

folks like Walt Whitman

 

 

JFK had his bachelor party there

 

 

Malcolm X worked there

 

Charles Dickens stayed there

 

and Nathaniel Hawthorne did too.. 

 

and my baby sister Mary even got married there 10 years ago !

 

that history made the meetings even more interesting..

 

 

I left the moment the meeting were over and managed to make it back to Burlington in time for a 6 oclock social and meet-up at Generator.  First there was a mixer.. there was beer, wine and food !

 

The topic tonight was ‘Eco-Logic’ ..   (Ohhhh.. I just got it as in Ecological !).. My friends Rebeccah and Ken and another cool woman.. an ecological economist..  spoke on art and the environment..

the talks were all really great.. The first woman spoke about better ways than GDP ays of measuring collective well  being . Rebeccah spoke  about the role of Art in ecology and visa versa.. she’s very intreseted in using trash as art to start a conversation on mass consumption. Ken specifically talked about 3d printing. and the transformation its drivign in creativity, rpduction, ownership, etc..

 

I loved the energy and conversations there tonight.. Thanks ya’ll for coming out !

 

gotta sleep.. falling asleep at the keyboard here..

 

nite all, nite sam
