I headed downtown to the Go Green Expo at the convention center. The "Greenness" of the event was more than overwhelming. Green is definitely the new Gold. Slap "eco-friendly", "local",
"sustainable" or "fair-trade" on something and the price suddenly shoots up.
That said it is amazing the products that are out there and available. Being green never looked so good.
After collecting a bunch of freebies and samples and buying some some cool t-shirts that were made from recycled plastic bottles and organic cotton, I headed out. I hate to sound jaded but one eco-fest ain't so different than another eco-fest.
As I headed out, I realized that right next door was the LA Fitness Expo with some Jui Jitsu and Mixed Martial Art demos, so since I was already downtown....
You would think that Being Green and Being Fit would attract a similar crowd.
I was in for a shock. It was really a case of natural and super-natural or rather hyper-natural.
The photo-ops for the Fitness Expo were definitely more abundant than the Green event.
When I started training Brazilian Juijitsu way back when it was hard to find a place to train outside of Los Angeles and New York City. Now everywhere you turn there is a Juijitsu studio or a MMA training camp. I'm still sore from training yesterday. It is still one heck of a workout.
"Strong-man" work out gear
I didn't realize that LA had a football team
Or that the team would be at the Expo to meet their fans. Those are the players by the way not the cheerleaders.
Fitter than fit, kind of looking like those characters in a comics strip or graphic novel or.....
On exiting I realized that there were auditions for "America's Got Talent" and a whole other slew of characters filled the halls of the LA Convention Center.
I love LA!!!!
