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
