Thanks to Nuffnang, I had the chance to attend this really "green" event over at Artista Bar & Restaurants in Tropicana City Mall. It was the Green Lantern Corps Party, in celebration of the upcoming Green Lantern movie and also on some environment saving effort program. Both the Green Lantern and most of the food utensils used tonight were recyclable, hence the "green" theme.

The venue was decked in green deco, I reached slightly over 7.30pm which was perfect as the event just started. Every guest had a chance to be photographed with the Green Lantern banner at the entrance together with "Mr Green Lantern" himself, a model in costume. The model's costume actually amused me. Check him out at the farthest right corner in our group photo below.

The event kicked off with some music from this "NGO" environment loving band, to be followed by a performance from these really cool music makers. These music makers actually gave a good drumming session from garbage cans, and recycled items. It was a really good effort actually, and I applaud them for it.

After a question and answer session with the MC, we were allowed to go for the food. I was actually eyeing the food from the time we arrived because I missed lunch today due to work commitments. They served some light food buffet style, which was fine by me. Given the word "Go", I was the first at the table, and managed to get some photos before anyone actually took the food. Check them out below.

The event then continued with more Green Lantern merchandise being given out through various fun activities. There was one which required everyone to search the whole restaurant looking for 7 green rings to walk away with some cool Green Lantern merchandise. I regret to say that yours truly did not find any, but a few fellow bloggers found it and were lucky enough to win the merchandise.

Overall, it was a good event, one with an impactful environmentally friendly message to deliver. The event also hyped up the upcoming Green Lantern opening this 16th June 2011 in our cinemas. I'm so looking forward to catching the movie when it shows!
