It was Earth Hour straight after our show on Saturday night.

The show was heaps of fun, really warm audience and nice to start a two night break with a big bang. Then we all filed out into the darkened hallway at trades hall to discover we were standing in the dark.

When I say dark... Really, exit signs are good enough. Exit signs and the odd candle and suddenly everyone's gorgeous. Suddenly the bar looks rustic and European and it's hard to believe we sat in the Old Council Chambers on Easter Friday with a full house sweating it out in almost forty degree heat. In the downstairs bar at Trades Hall, there are heaters. Those big ones on sticks. They looked wonderful, glowing away up there, illuminating people's features and giving the beers an amber glow. Then, a debate ensued about whether they consumed more energy than electric lights, and at about that time the lights all went back on and the mystery was gone.

Our show is about the environment, and if we'd taken a microphone around and listened to people's conversations in the dark that night, I reckon we would have had a Part Two for sure.

Earth Hour. I know it's symbolic and subject to debate, but that's kind of the point and in my view it should happen more often.
