Reminder: Earth Hour is tonight!

I don't know if there was a thread about it or not, so thought I'd remind the US members.

I did it last year. We BBQ'd by flashlight and chiminea light. It was fun, but still, I wanted to do something without electricity, including batteries. This year, I'm really going to try to keep the ions from flowing!

We were gone. We'd gone to a state park and were returning home. I'd also forgotten, but the only things on were the brooder and incubator. Can't turn those off!!!

Wish I could find my response to this thread last year...

I typed one out but chose not to submit it. I like HappyMtn way too much to turn her thread into a debate. On the other hand I'm hoping in 10 months we'll see a bunch of babies born.

I spent my candle-lit hour playing two violins and a viola, and comparing the timbre. In the end, I played Simple Gifts on the violin for most of the hour.

That's awesome, sitting in the dark playing music.

I'd accompany you on guitar but I can't play without looking at the fretboards.

it was a challenge, since my main instrument is the piano.

I know you don't do the earth hour thing, but in one hour, you really could learn to move between 3 chords without looking. kinesthetic learning -- just close your eyes and think about how your fingers feel moving.
