I'll be driving to DC on Thursday, Oct 4th, coming back Sunday evening - and volunteering at the DC Green Festival.  Would love fellow-travelers.
   
  DC has many hostels @ c. $30/night.
   
  The Festival still has volunteer spots - check  http://www.greenfestivals.org/content/view/625/280/. 
   
  Entry is only $15, but volunteering not only gets you in free but also gives you a chance to meet exhibitors and presenters, and contribute to the vitality of the whole event.
   
  Films - workshops - speakers - 350 'green' vendors - live music - yoga and movement classes - great place to have fun learning, and network with both students and professionals in your fields. 
   
  National Teach-In on Iraq  **  Green Careers presentations and job board  **  non-violent direct action training  **  Green Home/Green Building Pavilion  **  Kids Zone  **  Fair Tr4ade Pavilion
   
  Talks by Amy Goodman (Democracy Now), Bill McKibbon (Deep Economy), Frances Moore Lappe (Diet for a Small Planet), Helen Caldecott, Hunter Lovins (prof, Presidio School of Management), Jim Hightower (monthly Hightower Lowdown), Keviin Danaher (founder, Global Exchange), Riane Eisler (The Chalice and the Blade: Our History, Our Future), Thom Hartman (Screwed: the Undeclared War Against the Middle Class and What Can We Do About It), and more.
