Happy October! Plans to celebrate? Join PhillyCAM First Friday October Viewing Party.

The Painted Bride Arts Center (232 Vine Street) & PhillyCAM are hosting a special 2-hour, community produced programming on the theme of sustainability tonight (October 1st) from 5:30 pm–7:30pm.  Hosted by social commentator Desire Grover, producer of GhettoPrint and Community Organizer for the Energy Justice Network, you can meet producers and local environmental organizations.

Here’s a sneak peak of Ed Golden’s Re-CYCLE, for you recycling & bicycling enthusiasts! (luckily, I am both!)
