SPECIAL THANKS TO CLUB FAIS DO-DO FOR THE SUPER COOL VENUE!

ABOUT FAIS DO-DO:
Originally a branch office of the First Citizens Savings Bank and Trust,
the architecturally historic landmark that now houses Fais Do Do was
constructed in 1930 at the height of the Art Deco period in Los Angeles.
As Los Angeles spread west, eastern industrialists, silent filmmakers, and
other early hipsters took over the tiny Mid-City area which soon became
known as the Sugar Hill District.

Later in the 60's, the bank was converted into a neighborhood bar and
underground club frequented by such legendary musicians as Sam Cooke,
Billy Preston, and John Coltrane.

In terms of our sustainability:
We house a growing garden
We are transitioning to a no-garbage food waste recycling program with the goal of eliminating our dumpster
We host permaculture classes and events
We only use environmentally friendly paints
We aim to function off the grid in the near future

Avoid crowded bars and celebrate a truly GREEN St. Patrick's Day with Los Angeles Green Drinks at the beautiful showroom of Carlisle Wide Plank Floors.

Made in America for more than 40 years, Carlisle Wide Plank Floors has produced the finest restoration and reproduction wood floors in the world. From their fully sustainable forest management practices to recycling their by-products to their custom-created stains and topcoats, which use virtually no VOCs, the surface they create inside your home or business reflect and respect the surface that Nature created outside.

This month we are hosting an End of Tour Victory Reception for Tom Holm from EcoTrek Foundation. He has just completed his 10,000 mile across America journey using only cellulosic ethanol (CE85) produced by POET for fuel.

Cellulosic Ethanol ("C.E.") is a high-performance gasoline-replacement that is made from non-food farm waste and could actually be produced from discarded paper and wood products harvested from landfills.

Tom will speak about his expedition and display EcoTrek's record-setting truck at this event. He will also make announcements about his work designing renewable fuel vehicles for the United States military and also reveal companies committed to bringing C.E. to Southern California.

Special thanks to Line-X Protective Coatings for being such a huge supporter of EcoTrek's "Best of America Tour" and for providing delicious bites and drinks for this event.
