SATURDAY

Earth Hour 2009
Buy some candles and bundle up: Find yourself a skyline vantage point and
toast Mother Earth as the city skyline darkens for this year’s Earth Hour.
We’ve spent all week thinking of cool parties you can throw sans
electricity.

Does Earth Hour count if you turn off the lights but turn on the TV? At 8:00 p.m. ET, CBC Newsworld will showcase what Canadians are doing to
participate in this powerful event. Canadians will have the opportunity to
witness the glow of their city lights vanish, demonstrating – through
darkness – the need for action against climate change.

During this special hour-long broadcast, CBC Newsworld will be calculating
its energy usage and offsetting its carbon footprint by purchasing carbon
credits in hopes of mobilizing the efforts of so many Canadians who work
tirelessly to ensure change for future generations – tune in but turn off
all your other appliances!

WHITE LIES CONTEST FOR SOLD OUT SHOW @ LEE’S PALACE
Good thing we’ve got extra tix to next week’s show – Tuesday March 31

How can you not want to win tix to the band that everyone says resembles Joy
Division? Critics like to call these young lads from London ‘cathedral rock’
– moody, dark and the kind of music you want to blast just before you watch
yourself cry in the mirror while taking sloppy sips from your goblet of red
wine. Get the picture?

If you like: The Cure, PJ Harvey, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, U2, Joy
Division – then we think you’ll dig White Lies
