So today, Saturday March 29, from 8pm to 9pm, has been designated by somebody (or somebodies) somewhere as 'earth hour.' The point is to just turn things off for an hour. Simple and to thew point, and possibly even effective. Now, whoever these somebodies are who came up with this isn't the point--it makes sense and can't hurt, and might even help. So turn this shit off--now. Go for a walk, watch the moonrise, talk face to face with a real person, have sex with a real person (or yourself), sing yourself a few songs, throw rocks at oppressive inanimate representations of the military-industrial complex. Just turn your shit off, and rely on your own energy for an hour or so.
p.s.--We will be playing a show tonight, but not playing in the designated hour. And if the opening band tries to film a starbucks commercial in that hour, we will find the plug and pull it.
