Last weekend, I went to the Citi Field (which is also called Mets Stadium!) for the first time.
I was one of the volunteers for the NPO, REVERB. (http://www.reverb.org/index.php)
This organization is deeply rooted within the music and environmental communities, and they educates and engages musicians and their fans to take action toward a more sustainable. (from Reverb website)
I like music and like to be eco-friendly as much as I can, this was a perfect opportunity for me to do something good.
This is the tent where Reverb named "Eco-Villege". There were recycling boxes everywhere, and they have been doing this work for not only with Dave Matthews Band, but also with Maroon 5, Jack Johnson, Cold Play....and many other artists.
My job was to get donations from fans for CO2 offset. We also tried to tell everyone to encourage to use reusable water battles for reducing the wastes of plastics.
It was mad hot that day, and I probably walked more than 10 laps all around the stadium asking people to donate.
But good thing about doing this volunteer is that you can see your favorite shows free! lol
I mean you work for free, so you deserve it. Besides this kind of big act shows are usually expensive, and I wouldn't pay for it. By the time the opening acts end playing, you are free to see the entire show. I got a VIP wrist band, so I could go anywhere.
I'm not a huge fan of Rock music, but I love his band.
Their music is a mixture of rock, soul, jazz, contemporary, alternative.....it's hard to categorize.
And they played hard core. There was no small chat or what so ever, they kelp playing one to another for over 3 hours. It was a great experience, and I'd sure to support them.
By the way, I started working with one company as an intern. I still help out my previous intern as well, so I've been working everywhere for free. I love doing this, but I feel like I should start looking for a job where I can get some money for my efforts and skills. lol
