Tonight: WaterFire Providence!

Tonight I'm going to WaterFire in Providence, RI. I have been meaning to go for sometime and I will finally have a chance to check it out! WaterFire Providence is an award-winning sculpture by Barnaby Evans installed on the three rivers of downtown Providence. The event is free but a $5 donation is suggested as they are an independent non-profit arts organization. There are only three lightings left this summer including tonight, so if you are interested check out the schedule. Tonight there will even be a Jazz band playing!

Providence is really a great city with lots to do. It's only an hour away from where I live and has some amazing restaurant options. So, tonight before WaterFire I'm going to head over to Julian's Providence for dinner. Julian's has some really great vegan options including Fried nori wrapped tofu and a Vegan 'steak & cheese' wrap! My husband is excited because they have 16 beers on draft! (In case you didn't know, my husband runs Lostinthebeeraisle.com) So, I'm looking forward to a fun and romantic night tonight in RI. If you're interested I will let you know how it was on Twitter so make sure you are following me!

Also, if you have any recommendations on things to do or great restaurants in and around Providence please let me know in the comments section. Thanks!

My List of the BEST Veg People on Twitter

My green list was so popular that I decided to create a list of my fave Vegetarian/Vegan/Raw people on twitter! Again here are my rules:

1. In my opinion Twitter is best when it is a two way conversation. This can only happen when both people follow each other. I don't follow people who don't care about what I have to say.
2. In order for me to recommend someone they need to have at least 100 tweets. I've seen people on lists with less than 20 tweets and I just don't get it. Were those 14 tweets really so amazing that they deserve to be a top tweeter to follow?
3. I don't care what your twitter name is. Just because your twitter name has "veg" in it does not mean that you post good tweets.

Ok. So here is my list:

My List of the BEST Green People on Twitter

I know there are already a million lists of top green people to follow on twitter. The problem is that I often disagree with those lists as to who are the best people to follow. This is why:

1. In my opinion Twitter is best when it is a two way conversation. This can only happen when both people follow each other. I don't follow people who don't care about what I have to say.
2. In order for me to recommend someone they need to have at least 100 tweets. I've seen people on lists with less than 20 tweets and I just don't get it. Were those 14 tweets really so amazing that they deserve to be a top tweeter to follow?
3. I don't care what your twitter name is. Just because your twitter name has the word "green" or "eco" in it does not mean that you post good tweets.

Ok. So here is my list:
