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 [[polyproject:EtudeProject|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!
