Countdown until The Verve Concert in Madison Square Gardens!!!!

Perfect Start To Your Friday Night Date Night...

"The RUBIN MUSEUM OF ART presents a new music series that goes to the heart of the matter...

"NAKED SOUL"

Naked Soul is an all acoustic and unamplified music series in RMA's intimate 137-seat theater, an exquisite cherry wood-lined room with some of the finest acoustics in NYC. The artists will be performing their music as it was meant to be heard – no microphones, no amplifiers, just the artists' voices and instruments, as if they were, acoustically speaking, naked. The musicians performing in the series all share a common thread and will draw upon the universal themes inherent in Himalayan art – spirituality, peace, tolerance, wisdom, and compassion.

Sold-out performances have included Michelle Shocked, Richard Shindell, Lucy Kaplansky, and Issa (formerly Jane Siberry).

Presented with Music Without Borders and supported by WFUV.

The K2 Lounge is from 6 PM until late, every Friday night. Performances start at 7 PM. Happy Hour is 6-7 PM. Tickets include admission to RMA's galleries."

Earth Hour

My friend Lynn invited me to a really great "event" on Facebook and I thought I'd share it with all of you. It involves lights off for only one hour, wherever you are in the WORLD.

Name: Earth Hour
Host: World Wildlife Fund
DateL Saturday, March 29, 2008
Time: 8:00-9:00pm
Location: GLOBAL: THE WORLD

"On March 29th, 2008 at 8pm local time Earth Hour will commence ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

Created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a POWERFUL MESSAGE about the need for action on global warming.

Be part of making Earth Hour 2008 a huge, global success by telling your friends and family. Remember, every single light makes a statement and makes a difference.

Last year, on 31 March 2007, 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney (Australia) businesses turned off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour. This massive collective effort reduced Sydney’s energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour, which is the equivalent effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for one hour."
