The Greenhorns Screening and After Party
The Brattle Theater was completely sold out and we had a great after party on the front porch of Gund with local Cheese donated by City Feed and Supply and local beer donated byPretty Things.
A delicious and thoughtful evening that would not have been possible without Mark Winterer from Recover Green Roofs in Somerville and a handful of very special GSD students who came out for the film and helped with the reception- Tessa Kelly, Lindsay Chandler Alexander, Alicia Taylor, Mara Kate Smaby, and Connie Migliazzo. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Finally, Dan, our fearless leader, and his associate performed live music as Cowgill Music !
Some people were unclear on how design and agriculture really fit together but for many, it is precisely the same systemic thinking that draws individuals into both or either fields (pun intended!). One farmer in the film described his education in industrial design as having taught him to "solve problems with his hands, to make things." YES
