She’ll bring it with a dance crew in tow. Rhode Islander araabMUZIK – you’ve probably heard his work on the Dipset track “Salute” – is a prodigy on the MPC drum machine, banging out otherworldly beats you won’t believe are being performed live with just two hands. DJ Trent will also bring a stack of videos to screen live, honoring the women of hip-hop who have made the world a lot more interesting in recent decades. Join the fun live at [Solar 1 on the East River at 23rd Street – and enjoy really cheap, really good beer – or tune into live audio and video streams at WFMU.org and 91.1 / 90.1fm.

350.org Put Solar On It Road Trip Coming to Solar One
August 27th, 2010| September 8, 2010 | ||
| 5:30 pm | to | 10:00 pm |
Trailer for A Road Not Taken
Join students from Unity College, Bill McKibben and 350.org as they ramp up their Put Solar On It campaign for world leaders to install solar panels on the roofs of their official residences on 10/10/10. And since it’s always good to go looking for your heart’s desire in your own back yard, they’re taking one of the solar thermal panels that used to sit on the White House roof during the Carter and Reagan administrations (Reagan had the panels taken down in 1986) back to DC to ask President Obama to reinstall it as a symbol of his commitment to better renewable energy policy.
In addition to a visit from the panels, we’ll be screening the documentary about the panels A Road Not Taken when the sun goes down. Before that, we may have some speeches or we may not. There will be information on how you can become involved with 350.org and Put Solar On It. Hopefully the weather will be beautiful, so please come on over, bring a little picnic supper and stay for the movie (and some popcorn)!
You can RSVP to dina@solar1.org or via Facebook. And it’s FREE for people of all ages!

August 22nd, 2010| September 7, 2010 | ||
| 6:00 pm | to | 8:00 pm |
New York City Parks Department, Arc Finance and Solar One present:
When: Tuesday, September 7, 2010, 6:00 p.m.

Access to energy for services such as lighting, cooking and communications is an essential precondition for eradicating poverty in the 21st century. Yet today, 1.6 billion people currently have no access to electricity. Over 2.5 billion depend on traditional cooking fuel sources that exact to intolerably high costs for human health and the environment.
While scaled deployment of the energy infrastructure that is typical in the world’s advanced economies remains remote even in the long-term in many parts of the rural developing world, innovative technologies, companies and approaches to service are setting the stage for a new energy paradigm. In contrast to conventional aid-based models, such a paradigm is characterized by local enterprise and end user investment.
In this conversation, a distinguished panel of energy sector innovators will discuss their work and provide a firsthand account of today’s leading energy challenges and opportunities in the developing world.
Panel Participants:
Sarah Alexander, Innovations Manager, Solar Electric Light Company (SELCO)
Edwin Adkins, Research Coordinator, Millennium Village Project, Energy Program.
Jacob Winiecki, Co-Founder, Simpa Networks
Moderated by Christopher Neidl, Consultant, Arc Finance
