Only one night here, but we made it matter – Tampa almost beat Miami in signing up more new ONE supporters, and we had yet another AMAZING volunteer team, many of whom are doing work locally in the area, having set up a ONE chapter in Florida.
And Carlos was way excited to see Nicole again; Nicole was one of our ‘Warped Tour Mom’ volunteers from the summer, sweating it out in Orland with Carlos and Kathleen in our booth, where they got lots and lots of young people to join the campaign. ‘She’s SO COOL, Brande’, Carlos said to me, “her daughter wanted to take a break at Warped, and I was fine with it, but Nicole was like ‘no, you can not watch Fall Out Boy until you get two more pages of names. We are here to work and help!”
Nicole drove for several hours with two of her friends to join us tonight, they seemed to have a great time and did a great job. It’s really fun to work with such interesting and talented people night after night doing this work!
We also introduced two new members to our team this evening: the Feesh and Paris the Pony. Our new members came from one of those machines with the stuffed animals that you pay a dollar to try to grab. The Feesh cost us about $19 and Paris was easily another $5, but the happiness on my team members faces made it all worth it. Admittedly, there was certain amount of road weariness, general tour fatigue and a beer or two involved in the ‘recruitment’ and subsequent excitement about our new members, but we are eager to have them join us on the road. You sort of just had to be there to understand…
