Enter the Dark Ages. (Fight the Power)

The Experiment:

To eliminate all usage of power at the Estate as a means to encourage and invigorate a stalling environmental movement.

*EDITORS NOTE: THIS EXPERIMENT IN NO WAY HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH PG&E CUTTING OFF OUR POWER AS A MEANS OF LEVERAGE OVER AN ONGOING DISPUTE OVER UNFAIR BILLING PRACTICES. WE ARE NOT IN ANY WAY TELLING THE LOCAL ELECTRIC UTILITY TO GO FUCK THEMSELVES.

In our modern society there has grown an increased reliance on technology and with it has come a growth of power usage. (See graph 1-1 below)

As you can see, this information was derived from a well-sourced fountain of knowledge and information. (A.K.A. My brain)

_____________________________________

As ardent advocates for returning to a pre-electrification era we strive to draw focus to the absurd energy abuses that are taking place TODAY.

To celebrate the start of this experiment we threw a "Blackout Party @ The Estate". The concept is quite simple and fun if you wish to implement this eco-conscious party theme.

• STEP 00: Invite everyone you know to your house. Don't forget to add "Bring Your Own Flashlight" to the invite. (It is important to note that the host is encouraged to not use abbrev. B.Y.O.F. due to the ambiguity of the "F")
• STEP 01: Cut off the power in your house.
• STEP 02: Place candles through-out your house.
• STEP 02a: MAKE SURE THE CANDLES ARE APPROVED AND CERTIFIED DRUNK-PROOF BY OSHA.
• STEP 03: Light Candles.
• STEP 04: Get drunk.

*THE ESTATE TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY FIRES OR OTHER "ACCIDENTS" (i.e. UNINTENDED PREGNANCIES, POORLY LIT BATHROOMS, ETC.) / THE ESTATE HOWEVER WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HAVING A BITCHING ASS TIME.

In the last 3 days since the start of the experiment we have successfully:

• Thrown a kick ass "Black-Out party".
• Had an awesome BBQ with grilled chicken, and hot links.
• Cooked the breakfast of the Gods (16 Hashbrowns, 25 Breakfast Sausages, and 2 Pepper Jack stuffed Sausages)
• Gave some random homeless dude that asked me for money 14 Hashbrowns, 23 Breakfast Sausages, and 2 Pepper Jack stuffed Sausages.
