I remember this blackout. I was in college at the time and this was a big deal back in Long Island. A lot of us got together and had a lot of fun in the dark as everything was shut down including labs, libraries. It turned out to be a great fun time with friends while we sat and discussed our lives without power.

This is probably a dumb idea, but wouldn't it be cool to have scheduled blackouts like this from time to time?

A couple of us got flashlights and went to the main street and it was pitch dark and quiet and eerie. That was fun. Other than that, living without power got real boring, real quick.
