YES! Charity Concert is a Go!

Vienna Teng just called to say that she will be available for doing a Katrina Victims Charity Concert for us on September 24th! We have so much to do! We have to figure out which charity to contribute the money to (the Red Cross is good about being one of the first on the scene during a disaster, but only so much of money donated to them actually goes to the victims), we need to advertise....there is so much that will need to be done in such a small amount of time, but I'm very excited! =D

Ack, not much time to organizeeverything, is it?

[identity profile] anam-moon.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
No it isn't, but we wanted to do it quickly while the disaster was still very much on people's minds. The general public tends to have a very brief attention span about such things. This one will be held at a local coffee shop that had already agreed to host music events with us arranging and helping run things. We'll be able to fit many more people there.

Yay!

Put me to work! :)

[identity profile] anam-moon.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a plan! We'll all have to be put to work if we are going to make this happen. =) Perhaps we'll need a brainstorming session to figure out what everyone involved can contribute to getting this arranged.

[identity profile] anam-moon.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm...I work, but I would be free until four p.m.

[identity profile] stride.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
If earlier is better, I can try to figure something out before than. Then I'll have all day Saturday to work on "stuff".

I believe I recall my Mother saying something about you and Dragon donating art pieces for an auction?

[identity profile] stride.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I was told that was on hold. Is this back on again?

[identity profile] anam-moon.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh heck, I don't know, I don't get told anything. It may be that it was "on hold" because we hadn't booked anyone to do the performance. I think it's an excellent idea though. I would certainly be willing to donate a couple of pieces to it.

[identity profile] dragonluk.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Still think Tempest and/or Caliban with Vienna would be a cool mix.

[identity profile] anam-moon.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
This is very true.

[identity profile] stride.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Tempest is playing at Sonora that weekend.

[identity profile] dragonluk.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Will you attend Sonora?

[identity profile] stride.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm thinking that I may. If only to take pictures. Ruth's offered up her house, too.

[identity profile] dragonluk.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Should I count you out for Corpse Bride then, unless it's Friday night?

[identity profile] stride.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Er. *sigh*

Too many things piling up again. Yeah.

[identity profile] dragonluk.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd donate my Mulan book.

[identity profile] anam-moon.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Cool. =)
I would need/ want to whip something new out.

[identity profile] stride.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Also, should I put out a call to other artists, or should we keep this in house?

[identity profile] dragonluk.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you should wait to see how things will be set up before culling in more artists to contribute.

[identity profile] anam-moon.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree, let's not dive on that just yet, but it does sound like an excellent idea that I think would work.

[identity profile] anam-moon.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm...other artists would not be a bad idea. Perhaps we shouldn't jump on that right away. My folks may need to okay this with the coffee shop proprietor, but I will let you know very soon.

[identity profile] stride.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Is this going to be at a coffee shop or a church?

[identity profile] dragonluk.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Mission Coffee, correct?

[identity profile] stride.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Mission coffee rocks. We can so make it look spiffy. :)

[identity profile] anam-moon.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Mission Valley COffee Roasting Co.

[identity profile] dragonluk.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I would also be free most of Saturday.

[identity profile] anam-moon.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellent.

Sweet!

[identity profile] dragonluk.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Website, dude, on the double! Will your parents be home tonight? I can help with making flyers too.

Re: Sweet!

[identity profile] anam-moon.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, seriously. Dad will be home since he has jury duty and had to change his work schedule and Mom works late tonight so he'll get her around nine-thirty or so.

Re: Sweet!

[identity profile] dragonluk.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Website or Firefly? Hmmm...

Re: Sweet!

[identity profile] dragonluk.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I foresee a very long night tonight...

Re: Sweet!

[identity profile] anam-moon.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehehe...what? Like last night wasnt'? ;) At least you will be getting an earlier start on it.

Re: Sweet!

[identity profile] dragonluk.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I got a quick nap in between. I can't nap at work. I'll have to go home during my dinner break and pick up my laptop then.

Zzzzzzzzz.....

[identity profile] anam-moon.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure you can nap at work. That's what the lock on the door is for! ;)

[identity profile] ragnarok-now.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
If you do have an art auction I expect you'll probably want to do a 'silent' auction format. That way the papers can be set out next to the art throughout the performance/food/etc. and you won't have a disruptive 'live' auction at the performance.

[identity profile] anam-moon.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly. I think a silent auction would definitely be the way to go.

[identity profile] stride.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Heather! She'd be another wonderful artist to contact. :)

[identity profile] stride.livejournal.com 2005-09-07 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Er, Suvann, as you know her :)

[identity profile] sailorrogue.livejournal.com 2005-09-08 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Do you all know Vienna personally...or just fans?

[identity profile] anam-moon.livejournal.com 2005-09-08 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I know her personally. We're not close friends, but my parents had her do a house concert when she was just starting out before she had signed on with Vert records.
