We're hearing from people arranging some incredible events for Avaaz's Live Earth parties, all around the world. Before July 7th, however, we've got lots of preparation and planning to do. We've got a few suggestions for getting ready over the next few days - you can get started on some now and Avaaz will be in touch with more details about other elements of the party next week.
One thing you can certainly get started on straight away is inviting your friends - more people means more people power, and more fun! You could Live Earth's invite tool here: http://www.joinliveearth.org/page/event/myevents
or just send people an ordinary e-mail from your usual address, if you think they'd prefer that.
Second, on Monday morning, please download (and if you print it, use recycled paper!) the official Avaaz party planning kit. I'm going to be putting it together over the weekend, so there's only a few days to wait until it will be available on the website!
Thirdly, on Tuesday or Wednesday next week, get your party shopping done - hats, balloons, party food - to make sure you've got plenty to keep people feeling festive on the day.
After that, it's party time! Many people have been asking what time the events start. Live Earth series will kick off in Sydney, at 11am on Saturday July 7th. The last show to begin will be New York, at 1pm. Pick the event closest to you and plan your party around that - allowing for local time differences. The official page detailing how to view or listen to the concerts is constantly being updated, you can view it here: http://www.liveearth.org/event.php#broadcast
Most importantly, don't forget that you can e-mail the Avaaz team at any time to find out more about the parties or to get help with any problems, at liveearth@avaaz.org
