So this weekend we chilled on Friday and watched the Star Wars Empire Strikes Back riff trax. It was funny. My favorite was when princess Leia steps on the asteroid and says something like "this doesn't feel like rock" and then the comment was "yeah, it's more like smooth jazz". I like the riff trax and will probably wait to watch twilight until the riff trax is done. I need to hear it filtered to make it funny.

On Saturday Holly and I went to the Plano Green Fest and setup my RideSearch booth. This time around my attitude is very different. A year ago I spent time making a pocketpc application to register users and gave away t-shirts to people who would sign up. We were so filled with hope, about what I don't know. I guess that it would become an overnight internet sensation. Saturday I still had some t-shirts left, so I gave the last of them away for people to sign our sheet to send them an invite in email. Even though each user is important I can see that it is groups that are where the future is. This one user at a time kind of thing doesn't work, so my attitude is like "who cares". I am waiting for the next version of RideSearch to be done before I get excited again.

I am glad I was able to get in the fest for free. Alot of people had to pay $500 to enter. I also got to talk with Ed Bagely Junior. He was an actor who was in My Three Sons and St.Elsewhere. I handed him my RideSearch card and told him what we do and he said, good job. This guy is like the environmentalist that the Hollyweirdos look to. He was riding his bike to work and driving electric cars before they were even popular. He has a show on the Green Planet Network about how he likes to put rain catchers in his yard and his wife is against it. It is interesting though. Going green works for everyone when it saves people money. Like doing a home energy audit to see how you are wasting electricity and seeing how you can save on your water bill. That is the draw of going green. However when it is more expensive people drop that concept in a heartbeat.

When I go to these festivals there are always two types of people. The people who are like "what a great idea, I will tell my friends" and the people who are like "I don't want to carpool because blah blah". I have also found that non-white people are more into it. I guess we are paranoid by nature or maybe it is a higher disposable income. But there is a whole world of demographics that are for it and accepting. There are many channels. I always have to remind myself of that. It will work out in the end. In this RideSearch Lifetime Movie we are at the middle part where there is a little hope and alot of doubt. Stay tuned for the next scene.
