Hoboken

Charleston, South Carolina is having their own Carrotmob April 11th. The Green Drinks network caught on to this and using their network to hold an event…here’s is the article.

Yknow, it just might make a ton of sense to have a Green Drinks in Hoboken…

Carpe Diem had a first round assessment provided free by First Energy Group, an energy consulting company based in Old Bridge.  Here are some pictures of their kitchen ventilation equipment and air conditioner system.

Hi Everyone:

There have been additions to the blog. On the right hand side you will see a Share This button. That let’s you share this blog on Facebook, digg, linkedin, myspace, etc. The list goes on and on. You can even email your friends, family, and neighbors.

Also, a few pictures were recently snapped at Carpe Diem. Here are some. There will be a little something about the owner, Joe, once the event draws nearer.

Now I know this is bragging but I am just too excited. Carpe Diem was named “The Official St. Patrick’s Day Headquarters”.   I know they were in deep competition with McSorley’s but, I guess the fact they opened in 1854 made to difference to the Guiness St. Patrick’s Day Headquarters Selection Committee.  The banner makes it official. Kudos to Carpe Diem!

I don’t know how the next Carrotmob can top this – even the Gates Corporation, who boasts itself as the world’s most trusted name in belts, hoses, & hydraulics, doesn’t compare to the grandeur of St. Patrick’s Day. Unless if those belts are used to hold up a leprechaun’s belt. That’s a good mashup combo. But anyway, this just goes to show the caliber of establishments Carrotmob works with – I am very pleased to be working with such an esteemed bar.

It would be great to have a carrot walking around the streets of Hoboken during the month of April…Yeeeeeeeees!!! It would be!! There is something about the smiley face that makes me laugh. To see this in action, I found a youtube video that is hilarious. The carrot dances. It twists. It turns. Simply awesome – check it out, dancing food.

Send me a note if you can mail me a carrot costume.

 A lot of people have asked me about the Economist article that mentions Carrotmob and the company that owns it, Virgance. Here is that article. The article draws parallels on the similarities between Virgance and the Obama campaign. Both use grassroots tools to spur community activism, one just does it to affect how business operates, the other propelled political strategy to new heights.
