The Stream-a-thon... We did it!

WE DID IT! 

On 31st December 2012, the lovely Ozegran kicked off the worldwide stream-a-thon and the New Year celebrations at 12:30 GMT (11:30pm Australian Time).  Jen made a fabulous planner and there is still time to make your own using the PDF provided on Jen's blog and by following along the recorded stream.

 

The PDF can be downloaded here:- Planner PDF

And Jen's recorded streams are here:-  Video1  and  Video2
 

After Jen had passed to baton on, the streams went around the world from Edinburgh, London, Somerset and Walsall in the UK, to the Czech Repulic and onto various locations in and Canada and America.  The full list of the streamers channels can be found here:  www.artjourney.co  and the ever efficent Jen has a full list of all the recorded streams on her blog here:-  Recorded Streams

 

My stream slot was the midnight hour in the UK where, amongst the mayhem, HRH made a speech and partied on down (edited highlights can be watched on this YouTube video), the chimes of Big Ben were played lived from the BBC... and we undertook a 2012 Quiz with a question (and prize!) for each month.
