It would have been great to meet them, the festival should have a blogging page or wiki at future events so that people who are interested in certain issues can meet up. A focus on concentrating the discussions and interaction on certainly distinct pockets of interest. It&#8217;s also clear that the Green Building, solar\/wind energy sessions were more popular than they were expecting. It would be interesting to learn if that means these concepts are more popular in the Midwest?<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, I was only there on Saturday. But regardless of your political views, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.commondreams.org\/headlines05\/1030-04.htm\">the story of how Dennis Kucinich met his wife is really heartwarming<\/a> and I became aware of it due to the coverage of his speech.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Green Festival 2007 was held this past weekend.
