# Make a T-shirt with the anti-12th-root-of-two logo or a logo of your own invention. Wear it daily. | |||
# For your friends with May birthdays, give a slide whistle, or an udderbot or balloon flute you made yourself, or...? | |||
# Call into your local or not-so-local freeform radio station and request Neil Haverstick and Jon Catler and Warren Burt and Astroid Power-Up! and Ellen Fullman and...? | |||
# Blast some Ben Johnston or Tony Conrad or La Monte Young from the subwoofers of your pimped-out auto as you ride through the suburbs. | |||
# Engage yourself in an [[EtudeProject|polyproject:EtudeProject]]: bend your ears further, learn 31-tone solfege, etc. | |||
# Make your one-of-a-kind or unusual microtonal instrument available for the learning and experimentation and noodling of lay-musicians for a day, or a weekend, or the whole month. | |||
# Make a pilgrimage en masse to the nearest known one-of-a-kind or unusual microtonal instrument and demand (or ask nicely) that it be made available for public use for a day, or a weekend, or the whole month. | |||
# Climb Mt. Meru. Climb your nearest scale tree. Climb a ladder with more than twelve rungs and make a fuss about it. | |||
# Plan a flash mob of microtonalized recorders (put tape over the holes a la Reinhard) to attack the nearest establishment that blares 12-equal muzak the most annoyingly. | |||
# Record an album of microtonal easy listening and smuggle it into a record store. | |||
# Replace your (and others') clock faces with non-12 ones. Attempt to use a 26-hour day. (That's a tricky one to shake, believe me!) | |||
# Go into your local piano store and...no, that wouldn't be nice. Or terribly easy to do clandestinely. | |||
# That's all I got but I really couldn't stop at number 12!</pre></div> | |||
