Greetings!

So Garret, as you may well know, usually writes on here, but NOW muahahah, I have access! I am the one they call Kaley Hymiller, I am the new intern for Orange-Element. I about to start my 4th year at The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in the Fall and will GRADUATE this Fall as well, yay! I am the product guru for this company this summer, so we’ll see as I go along what magic I can create. So, enough about me and my introduction, because you’ll get to know me a little more through my posts….let’s get to the stuff!

Okay, so yesterday while eating lunch, I was browsing Gizmodo and Yanko (sites i always love looking at!) and came across a parking garage that caught my eye.

Ummm, you can see why it caught my eye! Reading about it, THIS GARAGE IS GREEN!! Designers Moore Ruble Yudell Architects and Planners, constructed the garage, which is on its way to being the first LEED Certified parking structure in the USA. The structure provides 900 parking spaces (14 of which are devoted to electric vehicles) throughout six levels of above ground parking and one and a half levels of below ground parking. AND there is free bike storage! The parking garage, which is the Santa Monica Civic Center parking structure, has a solar panel arrangement that provides all of the building’s energy needs. Not only is the building energy efficient, it also contains many sustainable features such as a storm drain water treatment system, recycled construction materials, low-VOC paints and coatings, low-e glazing for heating and cooling efficiency, and energy efficient mechanical systems.

Not to mention, it is oh so pretttttyy!

This Friday is The AST Dew Tour here in Camden Yards. Whoever is not working needs to go! Good Charlotte will be this year’s headlining act. The show starts at 9 and runs til 11 but the festivities of the competition start 4:30pm (gates open at 2). CONGRATS to my personal friends AFREUDIANSLIP (AFS) to winning this year’s competition for the opening slot of this year’s Dew Tour. AFS will be opening up for Good Charlotte, so come see the show because it’s going to be AWESOME!

Also, who also HATES those letter/number code things you have to type in when you buy something or leave a comment for someone…ummm…I’m sorry, but CAN YOU MAKE THEM MORE CLEAR TO READ!

So there’s some food for thought.
