Who's going to be watching Live8 tomorrow (incase you don't know what it is look here (http://www.live8live.com/))?

Whether you think the line up is good or not, please try and support it. Plus, Pink Floyd are going to play live together for the first time in a long time - that alone is worth watching.

Over here, in Jersey, Live8 is going to be shown outside on the biggest TV screen in Europe, which has been brought over expecially. Hundreds and hundreds of people are gonna be there to watch it and support it.

People have come from all over the world to watch it live in Hyde Park, but also there are Live8 concerts happening in other places around the world, so i'm guessing my American and Canadian Cannabis.com friends will be watching it too, no? :)

Edit: Don't try and click that link - the servers are so inundated with people trying to get on to that site that it takes ages to load and/or doesn't load properly.

Taken from the site:

"Live 8 is a series of concerts and events across the world which are being staged to highlight the problem of global poverty. It's a chance for ordinary people to call on world leaders at this year's G8 summit and tell them to put a stop to the needless deaths of 30,000 children every single day.

On 6th July 2005, the leaders of Great Britain, the USA, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia will meet at Gleneagles in Scotland to talk about world affairs, including Africa. They will be presented with a workable plan to double aid, drop the debt and make trade laws fair.

The G8 summit is our opportunity to demand that the world's most influential leaders take action now.

Live 8 has organised concerts in Philadelpia, Berlin, London, Rome, Paris and Edinburgh, with 100 artists, a million spectators, two billion viewers and one message: Make Poverty History."
