Re: TC on tour

Run a large wire in the basement window and attach to a water pipe if
possible --- be absolutely sure it's not the gas pipe or you might not have
a boss or job the next day.
Be sure to take along a few extra burned out flourescent lights for
everyone to wave around in wonder. Don't worry about the ladies jewelery
--- they'll be dead by morning anyway.
Seriously, have fun. For safety, you can everyone do a "10. 9, 8, . . .
live countdown" like a NASA launch prior to each operational burst ---
participation is always good and then everyone will know when the rain will
start.
