Concerts, Concerts, Concerts!

We've attended three concerts in the past month, with excellent results.

Our first show was the Breeders concert at the Glass House in Pomona on April 29th. The turnout was great; we got nearly 100 new signatures for our petition. Some people may have been drawn to us because we had the only non-vendor table at the show, but whatever caught their attention, they seemed very interested in our campaign, and in Oxfam America in general.

On May 15, we went to the Ra Ra Riot concert at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. It was the first time Oxfam had set up a table at this kind of venue, but the response was fantastic. We got about 80 signatures.

Our third concert was particularly special, though. Crowded House played the Orpheum on May 16 and 17. Not only is the Orpheum a spectacular theater, Crowded House's lead singer, Neil Finn, is an Oxfam Ambassador. The fans and staff stopped by to talk; they were very encouraging about our work on this campaign.

There are a lot more concerts coming up - this is a great way to spread our message and raise awareness about our campaign (and also a great way to get into some fabulous concerts!). If you'd like to join us, please let us know.
