YALLA VOTE ‘08 Our Voice. Our Future.

On June 21st, Outlandish made their appearance after crowds anxiously awaited all week for them. The show was even more anticipated because initially it was supposed to be at the Anaheim Forum , but problems came up and they scrambled to get it at an ampitheatre in a park. Needless to say, the show was great, outdoors with the nice breeze of the Anaheim winds. Outlandish performed and the crowd was pumped with energy.

Of course, I showed up to the concert with the “Yalla Vote” gear ready to take over the place. Even though I didn’t end up getting a table, or any materials to pass out, I was equipped with the National Petition and hit the crowds. I sometimes sneaked behind tables and had customers sign my petition, and I even recruited a volunteer to get signatures while I watched the show. Overall, I must say that as a field organizer the concert was a complete success! I conversed with people, got volunteers and introduced the youth to the campaign!
