Moorissette’s Law proves that emotional intensity and decibel count double every two years!
What happens when Gordon Moore’s silicon prophecy meets Alanis Morissette’s lyrical therapy? You get “Moorissette’s Law”, Techopalooza’s latest charity-powered supergroup. Our theory? Emotional expression and amplifier wattage both double every 24 months. Armed with the “Jagged Little Pill” songbook and a backstage full of IT pros moonlighting as musicians, we’ll decode irony, compile catharsis, and output pure 90s brilliance.
Whether you’re debugging your feelings or just overclocking your nostalgia, our performance promises to be 100% emotionally compatible. All proceeds benefit CancerCare Manitoba Foundation—because healing, like transistor count and love of music, should always scale exponentially.
