I heard about a new event that the former spokesperson for Google is starting here in the states. It's called Lights Out and it's incredible. Ok...so Mr Spokesperson was in Australia at a restaurant when all of the lights went out. He thought it was a power failure, but when the waiter arrived to his table with a candle, he learned that the lights out was totally planned. In Australia they turn the lights off for one hour, from 8-9pm. I'm not sure how often they do this, but it was common enough practice that the people around the Google Spokesperson (can you tell that I didn't catch his name and don't feel like looking it up?) were totally used to it. So...he's brought it to San Fran and is testing it out this weekend (October 20 to be exact from 8-9pm). This goes for what is considered "non-essential" lights. Lights that protect people like street lights and lights in hospitals do not apply. And not only does this mission have obvious environmental benefits, but it also sounds like a lot of fun. Who doesn't love to hang out by candlelight? Tell ghost stories? Make shadow animals on the wall...you get the gist.

Love,
Your SOF Captain to the South...Jes
