I've got free tickets from work to the D-backs exhibition game that night and the game may very well still be going on (or close to ending). Traffic, everything is going to be a nightmare.
"We didn't want to go to a place where there was a mayor who though climate change wasn't real," she said. "Sort of our benchmark was, 'is it a city that has a skyline that will be impressive if you darken it? A community that is willing to coalesce around an issue?'"
if that's the benchmark then why Phoenix?!

My neighborhood went dark except for people's solar outdoor lights and automatic security lights in the stables and stuff, but the various neighbors turned some lights back on after 30-45 minutes. I think it's a very good idea. Just turning off the lights at 8 made me aware how darn many lights I have on at any one time, and how easy it would be to take a step towards more conservation.
It's a world-wide event, and I like the idea that the whole globe wants to show concern for the energy footprint we all make. Even China participated. Not the French or Germans, of course.
