Random Acts of Kindness: A Darfur Relief Event

About Me

I am an event that happened on Saturday, September 29th, 2007 in Seattle. More specifically, the Conor Byrne Pub in Ballard. Diverse musicians gathered for one night to lay down some acoustic music and creativity. Proceeds from the event went to the Genocide Intervention Network Guests were educated about the horrible situation happening in and around Darfur. It was a low-key, stripped down, chill night of peace and musical harmony. The kind musicians, the kind folks at the Conor Byrne and the kind folks at Randomville worked hard to make this event a success. Randomville to profiled the musicians performing as well. There were LOTS of cool gifts won at the event, including an acoustic guitar from Guitar Center!The Check has been sent!!!UPDATED ON OCTOBER 3rd, 2007 TODAY RANDOMVILLE MAILED A CHECK TO THE GENOCIDE INTERVENTION NETWORK FOR THE AMOUNT OF $1,280!! THIS WAS THE FINAL AMOUNT RAISED THIS PAST SATURDAY NIGHT AFTER PAYING VENUE EXPENSES. WE'D LIKE TO NOTE THAT RANDOMVILLE DID NOT KEEP ANY OF THE PROFITS FOR THEMSELVES AND WE ALSO RAN THE CONCERT ON A BUDGET OF ZERO. AND CONSIDERING WE ONLY CHARGED $7 AT THE DOOR, WE THINK THIS WAS CERTAINLY A SUCCESS!!! ONCE AGAIN WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HELPED OUT BY EITHER PRODUCING, PROMOTING, PERFORMING, DONATING, OR SIMPLY ATTENDING. WITH OUT ALL OF YOU, WE COULD NOT HAVE HELD THE EVENT. PEOPLE WERE EDUCATED ON THE DARFUR CAUSE, FOLKS HAD FUN BY DANCING AND SOCIALIZING TO THE CRISP MUSIC ALL NIGHT AND PLENTY OF PRIZES WERE WON.
