West Hollywood - June 13-14. LA Pride. More specifically Green with Pride. Most importantly, we were on the scene.
Let’s start at the beginning. First, our flight from SFO to LAX was delayed an hour; then we missed our exit on the 405. Tired and weary, we arrived at the hotel only to hear words no traveler wants to hear: Your credit card has been declined. After some smooth-talking, we got ourselves a room, had a delicious dinner on Melrose, and rested up for the weekend ahead.
Saturday morning dawned overcast and cold, but we were determined to have a great day, even when it started to rain. Even when we arrived at the festival and were told we couldn’t get in without a ticket stub. Excuse me! What ticket stub? Now some might've given up hope at this point but not us method girls. The more potholes we hit, the harder we press the accelerator. MacGyver is our company’s inspiration, after all.
The crowd started rolling in around noon, and to say the fun followed
would be an understatement. Think buzz, energy, celebration, pride, and
green. We passed out samples and coupons, offering hand sanitizer to
those in need. We spoke to non-method users and those who had been
faithful fans since the beginning. We danced and sang with passers-by.
We learned about other green companies, such as Clear2O, Reuseniks, Caterpillars Candles, Environmental Solar Design and U.S Green Building Council.
The weekend was a total success. Not only did we have a ton of fun, but
we spread the word - the method word - to over 100,000 Pride attendees. Can’t wait to do it again in San Diego, July 19th. Come check us out there – a good time is guaranteed!
