HOW DOES A CONCERT ELECTRIFY US?!

Being the geeks we are, we usually cover tech advancements and crazy/cool products here at ElectrifyUs.com. But an often overlooked area of "green" technology advancement discussions is the actual, real-world USE of the types of products we like to talk about.

It's great to showcase cool new eco-friendly tech, but even cooler to see it being used effectively.

Plus, we're huge indie music fans too. Click on any of the concert pics in this post to check out the BuFest 2009 Myspace page or click HERE.
