The Fly
I always come up with crazy ideas when i'm almost asleep. Sometimes the next morning they're good, sometimes not. My 'regular' friends wont 'get' this so i'm asking advice from U2 fans instead.
Okay, the idea:
I'm going to buy 100 ONE rubber-band bracelets before the April 29th concert in Vancouver and take them to GM Place the day of the concert. I'm going to (desperately hopefully maybe) win or buy GA tickets and go early to stand in line early on the 29th. Once in line, I'm going to try and get other fans in the GA lineup interested in buying the bracelets at cost, with two conditions for purchase - #1- they have to go to the website listed on the bracelet backing the next day and sign the petition, and #2 - when Bono sings ONE - they all have to roll up their sleeves and raise their hands in the air so he can see a sea of 100 white ONE bracelets.
pros:
-Bono will be astounded at the support from us Vancouverites
-its a good cause
-bracelets are only available in batches of 10 and most people dont know what to do with the other 9
-bracelets will be 'at cost' which is $1.50
-most people have a buck fifty in their pocket
-it will bring us GA lineup people closer for the day
cons:
-some people will not want to sign the petition
-some peple will forget to sign the petition
-some peple will want the bracelet only to be 'cool' and dont necessarily care about the reason behind it
-i may end up with 100 bracelets and NO TICKET (i have to order the bracelets NOW if i want delivery by the time the concert date arrives)
so, comments? ideas? suggestions? arguements? is this a good idea, or is it silly? could it really work or is it not a good way to promote the ONE organization? I"d love to hear any persons thoughts on this - thanks guys.
