Earth week this year was full of different events and all of them had a pretty good turnout. My favorite event was Sounds of Sustainability that was held in green quad on the terrace area. There were multiple DJ's that each had a unique style and it made for a mellow, fun atmosphere. My favorite was the last band that played, I believe they were called Corner Cafe or something like that. They had a really cool sound that was a mix of reggae, hip hop and rock which is a recipe for a great jam band. The lead guitar player switched back and fourth from acoustic to a metal drum sound which I've heard before but never seen how it was done live, its pretty cool. 

There were about thirty or forty people that came out to watch but most of the apartment windows were open in green quad so there were a lot of people listening to the event. There were girls hula-hooping in front of the speakers and people bobbing their heads to the beat left and right. I stayed until about 830 and helped the group clean up after the event and talked with the band, who ended up being really down to earth. Overall it was a fun experience and I would go again.
