this looks like a wonderful creative vigil – not sure whose initiative it is but it seems like the music community worldwide is collaborating on this. the uk person i spotted talking about it was mixmaster morris on the big chill forum. it’s not one big event but as they say on the site…
This is planned to be a co-ordinated series of events in various
cities around the world, if possible but not necessarily over the same
time period. Jakarta, Bali, Sydney, London, Berlin, Tokyo, Taipei,
Shanghai, San Francisco, Singapore and where-ever feasible.Instead of wasting time and valuable resources flying artists and
equipment around the world we intend to work with the best local
artists and technicians available at the time, plus any foreign artists
who happen to be visiting those places.
Help!
We need 3,000 virtual candles lit online at our website with your accompanying words and reflections by Wednesday in time for a giant 1,000 foot wide Candlelight Global Vigil for the Global Village.
Global Vigils were held on the two week anniversary, Jan 9th/10th, beginning and ending here in San Francisco. We spelled out H-O-P-E in giant letters using homemade lanterns on the beach.
Again, this Wednesday, on the one month anniversary of the Tsunami disaster, we plan to create a 1,000 foot wide outline of the Indian Ocean affected region, and light 3,000 candles at sunset. The outline will be made using plain paper with your messages hope and Tsunami related reflections.
Please light as many online candles and spread the word as far and wide as you can.
In a word, HELP. 🙂
