Emerge Weekly Update (August 26th, 2011)

Miami’s Emergent culture continues growing unabated, as the second Sketchy Miami party on August 12th (hosted by our friends over at Beached Miami) drew over 1000+ local creatives to the Bakehouse Art Complex. Check out the freshly posted video recap.

In other news, here’s a summary of things we discussed at our last meeting as well as some big events coming up:

August 27th – Earthsave Potluck
Erin Healy works for Youth Bike. She also has an organization called Youth Lead, Youth Leading Environmental Activism Through Democracy. She will be speaking at the Earth Save Potluck this Saturday at the Coral Gables Congregational Church at 6:30 p.m. Go and eat vegan food! Learn!

Give a Girl Her Wings: “Ride for A Cause” and “Wing Walk”

Join us for this Saturday’s monthly Critical Mass ride. This time we’re teaming up with the Social Butterfly Foundation, Inc. and doing a backpack/school supply drive! All Cyclists will be decorated with brilliantly colored Wings and face painting to support our cause. Victory will belong to children in residential foster care as they will be ready for the 2012 school year with backpacks received from the drive.

The ride is for 10 miles, followed by a “Wing Walk” in Wynwood Art District at 7:00 PM to hand out flyers during Art Walk in Wynwood to raise awareness about their program. More details and RSVP on Facebook or Meetup.
