Eugene

It’s been awhile since the last update on Carrotmob Eugene. Many of you were probably wondering if you missed out and it was all over or if all the enthusiasm had just petered out. The fact is that neither is true. Behind the scenes there has been a bustle of activity. Here are a few of the things you should be aware of:

• Due to the importance of students to the Carrotmob, we have moved the date of the Mob back to allow them/you to get back to town and into the swing of the school year. The date and time of Carrotmob Eugene will be October 31st, 2009 9am to noon.

• Adel has been busy working on the Carrotmob videos. There was so much good content and strong commitments to change that it was hard to get them down to a reasonable length. They are slated to be out for public viewing and voting on October 12th, 2009. Be sure to vote for your favorite!

• The official Carrotmob Eugene T-shirts are in stores! After a frantic design phase and fierce debate on the best design we came up with something really cool. Adel’s brother Emil Wilson donated his talent for the design and EWEB sponsored the cost of the shirts. These cool, organic t-shirts are a must for the fall fashion season, and are available at the three Carrotmob participating coffee shops (Eugene Coffee Co., Gary’s Coffee, and Perugino’s) for a meager 10 bucks…I’m getting two. All proceeds go to the winning store.
