Bargain Babe Julia Scott is giving away the store (actually it looks like more than a few stores' worth) at her Frugal Festival from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday at Woodley Park in Van Nuys.
The first 50 people to arrive will get one of these very T-shirts (seen at left) free.
And there'll be more swag, plus (and more importantly) the opportunity to hear from and interact with what will hopefully be many, many like-minded people.
For those of us who aspire to some kind of "frugal," "simple" or "sustainable" living, we're all on a different part of the path and have different goals. But in this day and age, even with the economy in the tank, and in this city, which is no salt-of-the-earth hunk of ground, it's not so easy to find someone who doesn't think you're an alien for bucking the consumption trend even a little.
All I'm saying is that if you can stand the heat (and I know you can), get yourself to Woodley Park on Sunday for a heaping helping of frugality.

My good friend Julia Scott has been Busy with an extremely capital "B" since she left the wonderful world of the Los Angeles Daily News to start her own blog/business/empire, Bargain Babe.
In the past couple of weeks, she's even started two new blogs, a reader-fed local-deal site called Bargain Babe L.A. and a special blog promoting an event she has created called the Frugal Fe$tival, which is set for 1-4 p.m. Sunday, July 26, at Woodley Park, 6335 Woodley Ave. in good ol' Van Nuys.
For more detail, visit the Web site. If you're in any way interested in voluntary simplicity, frugal living (are both of these the same thing? discuss ...), or just saving a buck, don't pass up the chance to meet other like-minded people at this local event.

My sun-protective hat is off to the folks behind Homegrown Evolution, a blog about sustainable living in ... Echo Park.
Yep, they have chickens. Crops too. And they also have a book called "Urban Homesteading" that they will talk about and sign this Thursday (aka tomorrow) in L.A.
I just discovered blog and book (via BoingBoing), so there's lots to look at.
Now I know of three serious L.A.-area homesteader-types. Can you guess the other two?
