A crash course in changing the world.
The Background: Although much of our problems regarding water have been solved by 2020 because we have found how to desalinate ocean water at an affordable cost problems of distribution, cleanliness, safety and a constant fight to keep costs down as well as give water security to every man, woman, child ,animal ,bird, tree , plant and back to the Earth itself has kept us in the fight.
I'm just going to have a snooze when my body powered mobile rings.
It's Alchemy. My first secret mission. I'm thrilled. And it's right up my alley. I wonder if I'll meet up with Ember or Eureka or Jane on this mission. I take my bamboo bike - low cost, the one I drove to the party, and go for a ride, thinking of what to do. Ember would have thought up something spectacular, fun, memorable, big and got the point across too. What could I do to match. It was then that it came to me ,who I should enlist on this secret mission. Patricio - together we could swing it - if he liked my idea.
I gave him a call.
Hey Patricio, I said, remember your idea about celebrities for Evoke?
Yes, he said, of course, seeing as to how we've been collaborating on it for years now.
I laughed.
Have you heard of Modest Mouse? I asked him. Umm no, he said, after a while
Well, I've heard when he was nobody he used to go around on a bicycle and throw in his band's CDs into houses or leave it in the postbox and later they became huger than anyone ever dreamt indie bands could become.
I waited while Patricio digested this.
Then he said, ok.
He is a gentle soul. Anyone else would have yelled at me for circ**locution.
Well I said for World Water Day 2020 I want to do a Bob Geldof , but a techie Geldof a la Ember, a WATE(R)AID - but the build up is what I wanted to share with you first - we can have celebrities on bicycles going to houses randomly all over the world and inviting people to attend the concert.
But how will they come from all over the world?
That's the beauty of it - they don't have to - we won't have a real life show - the bands will perform in a holographic projection in some place in the world and this can be beamed across the world so all people need to do is tune in at the right time for the sake of water - I'd love to get Iron maiden play their version of Samuel Coleridge's
"Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink" and someone do Floyd's Echoes - "overhead the albatross etc"...
and here's the beauty of it - the bicyclists and the bands can just give everyone small handouts or spoken tips regarding how to achieve water security for everyone and thing
If we really work at it the tips can be so simple - maybe just five- that even a child can memorize it easily.
The show will rock, man - it will be the Woodstock of the 2020s.
Patricio listened and said, let's do it.
We need the five sentences.
We'll make it a global competition for children he said.
Wow.
Team work, that’s what it's all about.
You know what I'd like , I asked him mischievously.
What , he said.
I wish you know who would come to my house bicycling to give me a leaflet and invite to watch.
He laughed.
I'll try to arrange it, he said.
I felt kicked.
Ended the phone conv, took the bamboo bike back home and had my snooze.
