Are you going to be rocking at one of the global Live Earth concerts tomorrow?

Lucky beast if you are!

For those of us who aren’t going to be there :-( there is still the option of hooking up a live feed¹ & throwing a house party to support the chilling-out of our gorgeous Gaia²

[In case you got left out of the PR 7.7.07 Live Earth Concerts (em, make that Al Gore) has attracted some of the planet's hottest musicians to rock the world to start turning the tide against global warming. Smart fellow, applying a time.honoured strategy. I believe in an old maxim of economics that shows how throughout history ..culture precedes commerce.. entertainment is a clear & very useful way to gather power around the issue. Not just feelgood fluff³ ]

Anywaaay, so I checked around Cape Town for a riotous gathering of hearty earthy revellers & was a little underwhelmed.
What surprised me was that our green geeks like Ian Gilfillan or the Greenhouse boys haven’t strapped a satellite link in for us to party with a purpose on Saturday! maybe you guys just haven’t registered your party on the Friends of Live Earth to keep out rowdy skollies like me?!

Either way, if you also don’t fancy looking like a biltong on legs⁴ in a few scorching years time.. consider supporting in a small way starting this Saturday. The exponential power of consolidation of many people applying a small tweak regularly in their own way is incredibly potent: it’s the principle of kaizen or as we know it better in trendy wikinomics or web2.0… long-tail theory.

Show the hottie some love on 7.7.07 >>
