Me'n'Al

One Saturday morning I thought it would be a good idea to go to the live earth concert on the national mall at the Native American Museum. I heard Al Gore and Tipper were going to be there, and since I do live in the Nation's Capital I thought it would be fun to see them in person.

Unfortunately, there were no good camera angles from where we were at to get a clear shot of both me and of Al. This was the best I could get. Call it poor planning on the Tree Hugger's side....trampling grass isn't their favorite pasttime, so we were in the "overflow" area that really lended to their cause, as black pavement reflects heat and gave us a globally warm area to stand in :) They also powered the event entirely with Solar Panels. You'd THINK that with the sun being out so bright the Solar panels would function, but apparently they only worked well enough to provide video feed, but not audio. To make up for it, though, the Live Earth friends provided us with non-recyclable water containers (hmmm...) and fans that said "It shouldn't be this hot" :)

Ummm, at the risk of turning into a politico, I'll just stop there :)
