Follow-up to the Total Eclipse (of the Heart) event I organized at Cal Anderson park. There’s been some media coverage, which has for the most part been quite nice.

More singers climbed the hill already singing the song, like a weird version of that old “I’d Like to Buy the World a Coke” commercial. And it was an honestly touching event: It’s hard to convey the power of dozens of people repeatedly singing “Forever’s gonna start tonight” all at once, but if you were there and you didn’t feel tingles, you must be a little dead inside.

Yesterday’s coverage from the Stranger’s Music Blog, which was really quite nice. I’m going to have to do a full media and blog roundup at some point, there has been rather a lot.

Dear All:

Please join me in Cal Anderson in Seattle (and other people in other locations)park on February 20th at 7:01PM to sing Total Eclipse of the Heart karaoke style for the 51 minutes that the eclipse is, in fact, total.

If you want to bring along music to sing along to with your boombox, feel free. If you want to play an instrument, feel free. If you want to bring your whole band, go ahead. I will have a megaphone so that people can take their turn on the top of the hill if they want. If you bring your own megaphone, don’t be a dick.

Event Start: 6:30P – End: ???
Totality Start: 7:01P – End: 7:52P

We go mobile if it seems like a good idea. It’s also my birthday the next day.

Feel free to pass this invitation along to whomever. Ideally, the skies will be clear enough to actually witness the Total Eclipse (of the Heart.)

Dress however you like, I suggest warm, festive, and moisture resistant.

Don’t come to take pictures, come to sing!

You may wish to bring coffee or other life-giving drink.

Inspiration:

fun will be had.
