I was living in toronto the last time there was a power out. I can't remember exactly, i think it was a reactor somewhere around detroit or lake huron that caused it.
After the inital misery of realising that there was a fuckload of disadvantage to living on the 14th floor and after the mass panic of food and water buying riots..i slowly came to realise that it was it was truly wonderful. Neighbours came to sit on their prevously un used verandas, conversations happened, a crowd gathered around a battery radio in the parking lot..suddenly there were people in my neighbourhood. Vast amouts of children were running about, playing outside games.. a banjo was being picked. It was beautiful. In 24hrs it was all just a memory but it made me wonder how much we're actually losing out on with the advent of modern conveniences.
What a lovely post. I bet it was magic! Literally brought a tear to my eye.
