Make plans to join Michigan’s largest Earth Day event on April 23-25, 2010 to celebrate what is working in our communities and showcasing leadership in green business, government and non-profit programs.

The Michigan Earth Day Fest will welcome to downtown Rochester an anticipated audience of 100,000 people from around Michigan who are eager to learn about green and healthy living and seek earth-friendly alternatives in food, energy, transportation, clothing, wellness, career, home, garden, finances and more. Hope to see you there! The URL for more information is http://www.miearthday.com/index.html.

My friend Bob Kelly sent me this fun game with graphics.

1. Select the name of your band. To do this, go to Wikipedia and hit “random article.” The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2. Select your album title. To do this, go to Random Quotations. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3. Select your cover art. To do this, go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days.” The third picture — no matter what it is — will be your cover photo.

4. Use Photoshop (or whatever) to pull it all together.

5. And then, of course, post it into your Facebook photo gallery, cut-and-paste these directions into the caption field and then tag the friends with whom you want to play.
