Team Newman and the fabulous T.T. made the one block journey to the center of Nashvegas last night for the Earth Hour Nashville festivities. And it rocked. I was particularly obsessed with the Jack’s BBQ sign, since his neon flying pigs have not ceased to fly in the decades since they were erected.

Check out some video below; lotta “Woo Hoo!” courtesy of yours truly. For all the making fun of Woo-ers that I do on a daily basis, my Woo-to-tape-ratio is rather high on this one:

And just for the record, Merchants never did go dark. Nor did Nashville Gifts. (sigh). But it was still a really cool thing to witness. For one hour, Broadway was dark and cozy; it also felt a bit like Halloween/New Years Eve. Lots of folks running around kissing each other and yelling “One hour, no power! Wooooooooo!”

Oh, and congrats to MP&F for pulling off such a fabulous, well-publicized and meaningful event. I can’t think of the last time the Nashville business community rallied around a cause like this — and so creatively!
