B2 Green event: dig it requiem for a green

23 September party on the B2 Green before it is gone.

Albert told me that:
b2green.undergrad.ca is best

The website says:

dig it: requiem for a green
An outdoor beginning of term party to say farewell to the B2 green with music from UW DJs and bands, food and drink, and of course you. In 2007, the green between the Biology 2 (B2), Math and Computer (MC), and Student Life Centre (SLC) buildings at the University of Waterloo will be torn up for construction of a new building. The B2 green has been home to orientation week events, barbecues, camps, frisbee and ultimate, and, of course, some good ol’ fashioned sitting. It’s time to say goodbye to the green in style. On September 23, 2006, DJs and bands from the University of Waterloo will rock the B2 green for a final goodbye concert.

porcellino boar statue at Eberle WineryThere’s another porcellino located in Paso Robles, California midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles at the Eberle Winery in California.

The Boar
The German name “Eberle” translates to “small boar.” At Eberle Winery, a bronze boar greets every guest who visits the Tasting Room. The statue is the 93rd replica of the original bronze Porcellino cast by Tacca in 1620. And today, the original can be found in the straw market in Florence, Italy.
