We ran out of our large wristbands early in the day on Saturday, but nonetheless, this group of guys wanted the bands, so I convinced them that they should squeeze into smalls so I could take their photo, and that if they lost feeling or circulation in their hand, it was all for the cause and thus worth it...

Dave Matthews Band
As seen from far, far away on the field! I haven't actually been really able to check out much of the band's sets at all this tour - we have traffic at our booth all throughout the night, but I am hoping to catch more of the show at some point on the west coast leg, which starts up in two weeks.
Dan talks to DMB fans
We talked to lots and lots of people this weekend at Randall's Island, as Dan is here. I found myself really having great conversations all weekend - people are becoming more and more aware about this campaign, and the reality of it, the shear amount of people suffering and dying from poverty that can be ended, seems to be really hitting home with lots of the people we are interacting with, and they are excited to get to join such a powerful grassroots campaign as ONE.
Custom ONE Shirts
The extreme heat of working outdoors on summer concert tours leads some of our volunteers, like Jeanie here, to create their own custom ONE wear. It worked - fans still saw the shirt and approached her to find out how they could get involved!
Three more of our volunteers
These are three of the dozen or so volunteers we had helping us out at our Randall's Island NYC DMB shows this weekend. These guys did a great job, braving the dust and dirt and sun to help us sign up thousands of people for the ONE Campaign!
One Supporters at Randall's Island
I love Randall's Island - well, I really, really like it, though I definitely don't like the dirt and dust that accompanies it. (And we were on the ‘less dusty side’ today, just wait for our Warped Tour blog from here next week…) I'm still trying to clean up and get rid of the dust that now coats me and everything I own...but I love doing outreach at a concert on an island nestled between Manhattan and Queens, with the New York skyline behind us. And I love working New York shows, one of my other favorite cities.
And I love that our weekend spend 'on the Island with Dave Matthews' gave us two of our best days yet working on the DMB tour this summer - in two days we signed up over 2500 people and went through every last white band we had in our truck, well over 2000! More importantly, we got lots of people, like the Dave fans you see here, involved and inspired to take action with this important campaign.
