Recently NBC came and did a story on the green features of our pizza making firetruck.
I have to tell you that when I speak of our Solar powered TV and lights or our Solar hot water loop
for the hand sinks . . .or running biodiesel as the fuel of choice . . and right down to eco products being used
. . . these are the things that give me goosebumps. The kids will look at the TV and the solar panel and make the connection . . .thus a whole new generation of thinking kids will develop.
Its a pizza…

Building our new mobile pizza unit (mobilepizzaunit.com) has consumed me for the past 5 mos of my life.
I am proud , tired and feeling guilty for not staying current on our Ning site.
We have expanded to Facebook, search either "pizzetta" or "mobilepizzaunit" and you tube "mobile pizza unit"!
LuLu.com for my book of lighthouse adventures search "lightousemon" to buy a paper or download an electronic copy!
Cheers, see you all this summer (I hope)

Dear Christopher,
I just finished "Lighthousemon" and absolutely loved it! We were fortunate enough to get some of the early e-mails you were sending out at the beginning of the project. You probably don't remember me because I think we only met a couple of times, but I'm sure you remember John and the Hummers!
I can't believe I was able to find you after all these years, my search actually began after reading "A Salty Piece of Land" where Jimmy Buffet credits you as a source for his character…

Chris, Just a brief note to say ‘thank you’ for sponsoring the community event and bringing the Pizzetta Firetruck (the old Noank G-42) to Noank and Carson’s Store for a community Pizza Party last night. I didn’t get home from work till 7:30, so I only got a brief glimpse of the new evolution of our former Noank engine, but with the large number of excited children and smiling parents faces surrounding the engine it’s very clear that the engine is still “in-service” performing an equally valuabl…

On the eve of Localmotion . . atthe moment it is localexhaustion! Preparing for this event has drawn all my energy down . . so I decided to take a nap this afternoon and just woke up 4 hours later! Earlier today, when I was visiting the local farms buying the local food products that will be featured on the pizzas at Localmotion, I was struck with the overwhelming feeling that we are on to somthing good here, something big. The Idea was simple, I wanted to take back our town from corporate spons…

Its the middle of the night and I am supposed to be on vacation. Instead I have spent half the night compiling a list
of web links to worthy social, environmental groups. . . I have been researching many of our green products
and finding out who is walking the walk. Good mission statements are a starting point. Magic Hat Brewery for one had me on the fence . . as they spoke more about pleasing shareholders then doing anything good with their business and profits . . other than just making damm f…

Sometimes in the late afternoon they just say "go get sleep now" and I wake up a few hours later . . ready to go again.

It made my day . . it is why we are here.l

Pizzetta is really just a composite of really groovy people held together with some

All for now

We are here for a very short time and that time is now . . as best I can figure that is the only realty
Pizzetta is all that I have learned . . experienced . .and longed for . . put in to physical form.
I want pizzetta to be the place that moves you that changes your world . . I want to create the world
that I belive in . . and am doing so with a bunch of great people . . lets see where this goes!
So as I have said in the past . . .
Look up at the stars , jump…
