A show from a show.
On Friday night, May 11th, Lori, her daughter Nicole, DeLanna Studi (actress from KICK) and I went to the Glasshouse in Pomona to work an ENCOMPASS promotional table at the Ozomatli show. Since we got there early to set up our table and materials, we were treated to hearing OZO’s sound check (which sounded great) and we were even granted a good amount of time to chat with Wil-Dog Abers, the bassist to Ozomatli, before fans came in to the show.
We passed out lots of ENCOMPASS stickers, as well as some flyers and brochures to people as they made their way to and from the OZO merchandise table before the show. During their performance, we were all able to catch a few of the songs and we danced and sang along. Right before OZO ended the show, Will-Dog did a shout out to ENCOMPASS on the microphone and encouraged the audience to come visit our table after the show and sign-up on our mailing list. That was soooooo cool! As a result a concert go-er who also happens to be a counselor, spoke with us after the show and expressed his interest in booking one of the Compassion Plays at his school before the school year ends. We spoke to him on Monday morning and it looks like we will be going to his school soon!
So, not only did we have a wonderful time, but we also got great exposure for ENCOMPASS and booked a show - all from a show! Thanks to Wil-Dog, DeLanna, and Nicole for helping to make it happen.
