Wow. Vegas, baby, Vegas. So far, Vegas wins – our biggest night yet on wristband sales – a lot of one dollar coins and we did have to tell a few people that we could not take casino chips - and we signed up SO MANY PEOPLE! The venue at the MGM Grand is insane and kinda scary; it’s really small and narrow, so within a few minutes, the entire place was just packed, wall to wall people everywhere you look. Thanks to Amy at the venue for being super helpful and getting us set up, and a very special thanks to our amazing volunteer crew, including Andrew who came out both nights to help us out!
I also love shows where I get to see Elvis impersonators. It’s really all I want out of life.
Great to meet and hear from so many U2 fans who are interested in doing local work for ONE – once again, we had a TON of people sign up to get more info on volunteering, people asking us all night long how they can take ONE into their own community. It’s amazing to see this campaign grow in the way that it has this year…
I missed Mary J Blige doing ONE with Bono because I went back to my room to try to take care of some travel during the show. I got to hear them sound check though, but I’m still bummed I missed it.
We got new banners! We are complete dorks – banners get us very, very excited. But they look great and I think will help to solidify the message of the campaign and get even more people signed up to join.
My buddy Jamie came out to help – Jamie did a bunch of dates with us back in the spring – she pretty much kicks arse as the Europeans on tour like to say, and I’m not saying that because we’ve known each other since pre-school; she’s really really good and really really into the campaign! In a weird way, one of the most rewarding things you can have happen - at least in my experience - when you do this sort of work, is to have your friends and family get involved.
And thanks to Tommy
for the swag for my mom.
