Turn around, bright eyes
I’m just going to go ahead and quote straight from an email I got this morning:
Please join me in Cal Anderson 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…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.
This is the worst of all possible ideas, and therefore will likely turn out to be awesome. Having done my fair share of interpretive dance to this song while drinking straight from a champagne bottle, I’m almost sad that I’m going to be down at the Triple Door for Grand Archives instead of at this. I’m counting on you, Metroblogging readers, to report back. Please?

My guess: dude was already drunk when he sent that e-mail.
My prediction: by the 15-minute mark, eclipse-watchers will attempt to turn aforementioned megaphone into bludgeon.
That second part would likely be what makes it awesome.
hey! i know that guy!
Turn around, bright eyes
No.
While I live within spitting distance of the park, I will (un)fortunately be at puppy obedience class. I may be walking through there at 7pm on my way to class, so I will see if I can get photos.
it was so completely fun… 51 minutes of total eclipse of the heart which translates into singing it about 10 times… i can’t imagine having done anything else tonight but that… i am a little worried about how long it will be playing in my head though…

It was pretty great :) My friends got better and better at belting it out.
Wow, if it wasn’t for the photographic proof, I’d swear that was made up!
