Surfrider San Francisco Chapter Chair Wes, his wife and Surfrider member Bethany, and I conducted outreach at this show on Sunday night. I'm a big Rogue Wave fan from when they opened for Jack Johnson on his 2008 tour, and had been looking forward to this show.
It was another sold out show - this time a benefit for an organization that was raising scholarship funds for children. (See earlier blog post.) We had a table in the back right corner where the merchandise booth would have been set up if it hadn't been a benefit show, and were able to connect with some Rogue Wave fans who were unfamiliar with our work - most notably two young members of the Monterey Bay Aquarium who were psyched to learn about us, and signed up for our Chapter's email list.
We also got to meet two great guys from the Independent staff - Jason and Terry - who helped us out, and gave us a shout out over the sound system during a set break. Thanks again to Jason, the Independent's House Manager that night, who took care of us, as well as John from the Independent and Justin from Rogue Wave management who made it possible for us to be there.

Wes, Bethany and I distributed information about our beach cleanups as well as our chapter's other programs, as well as seafood and sushi wallet-sized guides. Since Rogue Wave is a big proponent of organ donation, I also partnered with the California Transplant Donor Network for this particular show, and we had official organ donation registration forms available at our outreach table, for fans who wanted to sign up to donate their organs.
If you would like to register as an organ donor and you are a California resident, then go here. It's quick and easy. Also make sure that your family members and loved ones know about your decision to be an organ donor, and how important it is to you.
Thanks to everyone who made our participation in this show possible!
This was such a fun show! Mellie and I had a table in the far right corner, next to Cloud Cult's merchandise booth, where we had a great view of the live painting taking place on stage, and were able to closely observe and participate in the silent auction for the 2 paintings being created on stage during the show.
At the end of the night one painting sold for about $1600, and the other for about $900. I watched one excited new owner talk with the painter, Connie, about how to transport the painting home to her apartment in a taxi cab. It was wonderful! Yet also very difficult to describe in a manner that does the events of the evening justice!
But check this out, for starters:
It was a sold out show, and the room was full of a lot of excited fans. We met a handful of Surfrider members, and also got to talk with some Cloud Cult fans who were unfamiliar with our organization's work.
Thanks again to Jason who was the Independent's House Manager that night, who took excellent care of us, as always! Thanks to John from the Independent and Connie from Cloud Cult for granting us permission in advance to set up the outreach table, and for providing us with a guest list spot.

If you have the opportunity to see a Cloud Cult show, then don't pass that opportunity up!
Surfrider and the Save the Waves Coalition will be conducting outreach at Kapakahi's "Light Up" CD Release Party.
Thanks to Kapahahi and their manager, Steve, for reaching out to us, and for inviting us to the show! Thanks to Slim's for making table space available to us!
Details: Friday, June 19, 2009 Slim's in San Francisco Special musical guests include DJ Deedot, Stranger from San Diego and Bayonics. Doors are at 8pm, Show is at 9pm.
Tickets are $13 in advance, and can be purchased here.
Like the multi-cultural mix of musicians that make up the band, Kapakahi is about celebrating diversity in all its fun, funky glory. Their music is a fresh and progressive mash-up of Reggae, Ska, Hip-Hop and funk and their energetic stage show grabs the attention of whatever crowd they're in front of. They dubbed the title “Urban Aloha” to describe their sound and vibe.
Forming in San Francisco in 2005, Kapakahi has grown into a regional touring act with an expanding fan-base from San Diego, to San Francisco, to Hawaii to the Pacific NW. Their love of music and work-ethic keep them focused on writing, recording, touring and spreading their music around the globe.
Based out of San Francisco, CA, the members include: Mike Dayao (Lead vox/Guitar), Steve Salta (drums/percussion), Chris Jones (Bass/Vox), Josh Hoover (sax), Lansky (sweet flows)
Their upcoming release "Light Up" is part of a movement started by the band called LIGHT UP.
LIGHT UP is a movement to strive to be higher than the individual.
It came from the simple idea to Light Up one’s life. After being together for 4 years, writing, touring and meeting people on the road, the band realized that their music can stand for something more than just a good time. Light Up is the idea that their music can be a positive force in the lives that they come to touch. It is the connection they seek and the bond that they make in that moment when a person can relate to their music.
Download the title track, "Light Up", here, for free. Hope to see you at the show!

The Surfider San Francisco Chapter will have a presence at the Sunday, June 7th, 2009 Rogue Wave show at the Independent. We are very excited to have this opportunity to talk with fans about Surfrider! Thanks Rogue Wave, Zeitgeist Management, and the Independent!
Doors are at 5:30pm, show starts at 6pm. Tickets start at $18.
On March 20, 1995, D.A. Taylor died from meningitis as a teenager. His family and friends founded the D.A. Taylor Charitable Foundation in 2006 to honor D.A.'s spirit and the quintessential and symbolic good that he represented.
Rogue Wave is a Bay Area-based indie-pop band with Brushfire Records. They are also a Clif Bar & Co "GreenNotes" artist partner.
GreenNotes supports emerging musicians - passionate about the environment in their own right – who may not yet have the resources, expertise, or funds to integrate environmentally friendly touring practices.
GreenNotes provides artists with the resources and the technical assistance required to integrate several eco-friendly touring practices. These include: fueling their buses with biodiesel, printing on recycled paper using soy-based ink, selling organic cotton t-shirts at shows, working to provide locally and organically grown foods backstage, and buying renewable wind energy credits to offset their remaining carbon dioxide emissions (CO2, a greenhouse gas, is the major cause of global warming).
Rogue Wave contributed the song "Chicago X 12" to GreenNotes' album "Protect the Places We Play." A portion of the sales of this album benefit the Surfrider Foundation!
Last Friday I went to see the premiere of "D Tour" at the San Francisco International Film Festival. What an amazing film and story. If you have the opportunity to see this film, then don't miss it! D tour chronicles Rogue Wave's Pat Spurgeon's search for a living organ donor and the challenges associated with finding a viable match. Pat’s choice to keep touring and working toward the band’s goals is put to the test; the absolute need to perform dialysis daily and to focus on his health became top priority while being on the road. D tour also addresses issues with the health care system, the lack of affordable insurance, the importance of organ donation, plus much more.
We hope to see you at the Independent on June 7th!
Surfrider's San Francisco Chapter will have an outreach table at Cloud Cult's show at the Independent in San Francisco on Tuesday, May 12th.
The doors open at 7:30pm. The show starts at 8pm. Tickets are $15. Tix are still available at the Independent Box Office (open M-F from 11am-6pm) for purchase, with no surcharge.
Check out this write up from the Discovery Channel's Planet Green: Cloud Cult hasn't garnered the big-time recognition of a band like Radiohead, but they're a great example of a band that's green because they really believe in it.
The Minnesota-based band is led by Craig Minowa, who, when not busy writing, recording and touring with the band, is a scientist for the Organic Consumers Association, so he really knows his stuff. Disappointed by the options available elsewhere, Craig started his own record label, Earthology Records, which along with the band's studio (and Minowa's home) is located on a small organic farm in Northern Minnesota, is powered by geothermal power and wind energy, and the recording studio is built from recycled and salvaged materials.
Cloud Cult CD inserts and print materials are on 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper and printed with non-toxic soy inks by a local, family-owned print shop. Cloud Cult's CD shrink-wrap is not the industry standard toxic PVC; instead, they are packaging all of their materials in a 100% earth-friendly shrink-wrap, made of non-toxic biodegradable corn cellulose.
On tour, the band offsets all of its energy use through renewable energy credits, its van runs on biodiesel and even boasts solar panels on the roof, and also plants trees to offset the shipping and other resource depletion incurred when producing their albums. Oh, and Cloud Cult donates all profits, after expenses, to environmental charity work.
Look for us at the show! We'll be talking with fans about our new Music Outreach Program Campaign, Hold On To Your Butt! (That'd be cigarette butts.)

What a great show! Thanks to Brooke, for helping out! Thanks to Neil, Adam Parfitt, Ben Hall, management, and the GAMH staff, for a wonderful night!
Brooke and I arrived 30 minutes before doors, where we were warmly greeted by Mary, GAMH's House Manager, Neil, and David, who was running merch tonight.
After taking a photo with Neil, Mary invited me to the GAMH staff meeting, where I was warmly received by the GAMH staff, and got to tell everyone what Surfrider is all about, and what we would be doing at tonight's show. It was great! Neil was also very interested, and we got to talk with him about our campaigns, before the doors opened.
It was a seated show, so before the show started, I wandered the room, approaching fans at tables, and handing out the sushi wallet-sized guide, and a few beach cleanup schedule postcards. Most people were unfamiliar with Surfrider, but were willing to talk with me about it for a second or two. I met a lot of people who were very dedicated Neil Halstead fans:)
We raffled off a t-shirt, which went to winner Nathaniel, and had a lot of people express interest in our regular beach cleanups.
Neil gave us a shout out from the stage, explained a little bit about what we were talking about that night, and encouraged his fans to stop by our table. It was amazing!
Since we were located in a back corner of the room, right next to the merch table, we received some visits after the show had ended, when fans came over to purchase t-shirts and cd's, or to talk with us. Neil's shout out really helped. It was a great set up!! Thanks again to the GAMH!
Thanks again to everyone involved in the tour, who all asked me questions about the Music Outreach Program, and our Chapter. It was great to see the members of another Brushfire band, Rogue Wave, at the show, in the audience, too.
Neil performed this song tonight - "High Hopes" - awesome.
What a beautiful show. The audience was so attentive the entire time - full house. It was perfectly quiet in the room, except for the music coming from the stage. Which I may add was supported by a fake yuletide log, and beautiful shadows in the shape of leaves, that panned on the curtain, hanging behind the musicians. If Neil comes to your town, then you should definitely check it out:)
Andrea, Emma and I represented Surfrider at the Matt Costa show, which was held at Slim's, but was part of San Francisco's annual Noise Pop Festival. We really appreciated all of the support that we received from the festival organizers, the promoter, the venue, the musicians, and management. It went really smoothly.
Since several bands performed that night, before Matt's set, there was a lot of merch. We shared a table with the merch teams from Noise Pop and Matt Costa. It was a great spot, because we were able to talk with fans who we might not have otherwise met, who were looking to purchase show-related merch.
We also circulated throughout the crowd, before the show started, and between every performance, to proactively talk with fans. I think we talked with just about every single person in the venue, that night:) We handed out more of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Sushi wallet-sized guides, as well as information about our chapter's beach cleanups.
Carolynn, who designed and handled the order for our 2009 Beach Clean Up Postcards, brought a box of postcards with her, to the show, for us. Carolynn was the one who first pointed out that Matt was coming into town, at the December Chapter meeting. Thanks, Carolynn!!
Here she is, holding up the postcard that she created.
We met a lot of really great people at the show, including Sean Stringfellow, of Slim's staff, who had coordinated our participation for us. Sean, with his new Save Trestles t-shirt. Sean surfs at Trestles, when he is visiting his parents, who live near San Clemente. Thanks, Sean!
We also met 2 members of the Surfrider Huntington Beach Chapter, who had flown up just for Matt's show. While in the audience, I was approached by a fan who saw my t-shirt, and really wanted information about Surfrider. We also met a very interested fan, at the very beginning of the night, who was amazed when we told her about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, one of Andrea's favorite issues. It is so rewarding, when we get to talk with interested fans about Surfrider campaigns.
Thanks to Matt, for taking the time to snap a photo with us, with his new San Francisco Chapter t-shirt. Thanks to Andrea and Emma for all of their help!!
Matt ended the show with this a capella song, "Will I Lie In Your Arms", which I absolutely LOVE. (This was not filmed at the Slim's show.)

What a great show! A big thanks to everyone who facilitated a very smoothly run evening - the Independent's House Manager, Jason (coincidentally, a fellow Surfrider member), and the chapter's amazing on-site volunteers - Dan, Brooke, and Lotti.
We had a cocktail table in the far right corner, right next to Gabe and the merch booth. We distributed our brand new 2009 beach cleanup schedule postcard, National's "10 Ways" and "Rise Above Plastic" handouts, and the wallet-sized seafood and sushi guides.
The show sold out in advance of the show night. It was a full house, with a line of fans snaking down Divisadero Street, in place before the doors had even opened.
Lotti and I circulated through the crowd with these handouts, and talked with fans before the music started, and between breaks. I met 2 Surfrider Lifetime Members, a lot of people who were already familiar with Surfrider but weren't on our Chapter's email list, and a handful of people who were not familiar with the organization. Thanks to Dan and Brooke who took care of the t-shirt sales, Surfrider membership registrations, and fans who stopped by the table!
photo: Dan and Brooke at the Surfrider table.
We signed up a few new Surfrider members, and helped 1 or 2 fans renew their Surfrider memberships. Everyone who completed a membership form with us received a free Surfrider t-shirt, which turned out to be a great incentive to get people to register on the spot. We also sold a few t-shirts to fans who were already Surfrider members.
We also held a successful raffle. Fans who gave us their name, email address, and for the purposes of the raffle - their cell phone numbers - were entered into a drawing to win a Surfrider t-shirt, that night. The winner of the drawing was a great Surfrider member that I met while circulating throughout the audience with Surfrider handouts, named Cory. It was great to see such an enthusiastic Surfrider and Donavon fan win the raffle.

After the show ended, since we were right next to merch, and since Gary Jules came by to say hello to us (creating a buzz around our table), we were able to reach a few more fans on their way out of the show. It was great! We tossed our Surfrider San Francisco branded Chico bags into the crowd that had gathered around our table, and received a very positive response from fans who appreciated the free reusable bags:)
The show itself was great. Gary Jules played an opening set to an enthusiastic audience, and later joined Donavon and his band on stage for 3 songs. The show ended with an acoustic performance of "Call Me Papa." At several points during the evening, Donavon held the mic out to the audience, to sing into. There was a lot of singing along, generally speaking, throughout the night. What a fun show!!
Thanks to Chapter members Damian and Zeina who came by the table, to say hello, while they were at show.
Additional thanks to Tony at the Independent, Tom at Partisan Arts, Allen at Another Planet Entertainment, Tito, Donavon, and Gary!
Special thanks to Surfrider San Francisco Chapter members Andrea, Adelina, Woody, Barbara, Sara, and Carolynn, and Washington, DC Chapter member Chris, who helped out in the days leading up to the show.
The San Francisco Chapter launched their brand new Music Outreach Program last night, at the Starry Plough Irish Pub in Berkeley, CA, thanks to the support of the Nor Cal band Absynth Quintet. Mandolinist Bird Jowaisas contacted us through our Music Outreach Program page on the Chapter website, and invited us to come table at the show. We were so excited to work with these guys - who are all active Surfrider members and surfers, from the Humboldt Surfrider Chapter.
San Francisco Chapter members Zeina Barkawi, Damian Sinnott and I headed over to Berkeley, where we received a warm welcome from the Starry Plough staff, and the band. Utilizing a cocktail-sized table, we set up our materials right inside the front doorway, next to the stage, and the merch tables. We were able to hang our brand new, smaller-sized banner on the wall behind us, directly facing the audience. It was a great spot!
photo: Zeina and Damian working the table.
We met some great people, gave away some Surfrider San Francisco Chapter branded, reusable Chico bags, signed some people up on our mailing list, handed out information about safe seafood choices, and talked a lot about our Chapter's 2009 strategic plan.
Members of the Absynth Quintet came by several times to check in on us, and to talk with us about Surfrider, and the surf that they're catching while on tour. The band is in Santa Cruz today. The Santa Cruz Chapter will have a table at tonight's show.
The music was phenomenal. There were 3 bands on the bill. We got to catch great sets by The John Howland Trio, The Cyndi Harvell Band, and Absynth Quintet.
The Absynth Quintet is composed of Ian Davidson on banjo, Bird Jowaisas on mandolin, Ryan Roberts on guitar, Mike Schwartz on drums, and Rudy Luera on upright bass.
The Eugene Weekly places the sound "somewhere along the spectrum of acoustic-improvisational-gypsy-jazz...plucky and tight à la David Grisman" with "a dash of Eastern European exoticism that puts you in a smoky, understated hash bar kind of mood". Check them out, here! They played a lot of great material off of their new album, "Indigo Shoes."
After the show, the band came over to our table, where we got to thank them for their support, and take some group photos. It was a great night!!! Thanks again to Absynth Quintet, and particularly to Bird, for the invitation, and for coordinating all of the details with the venue, for us! Thanks to Zeina and Damian for all of your help!

Up to this point, the Music Outreach Program has based a lot of its work around Surfrider's national Save Trestles Campaign. When conducting outreach at shows, we educated every music fan that we spoke with about this campaign.
"Save Trestles" is a campaign to save California's San Onofre State Park, 6 miles of beaches, a Native American burial ground, a nature conservancy, 9 endangered species, a state campground serving low income residents, biking/jogging paths, and a famous surf spot (Trestles) from the construction of a private 16-mile, $9/trip toll road, and a housing development.
Surfrider has been working on this campaign for 10+ years, in partnership with the Sierra Club, CA State Parks Foundation, Natural Resources Defense Council, Endangered Habitats League, Sea and Sage Audubon Society, Defenders of Wildlife, WildCoast and countless others.
For more information about the campaign, click here.
Or check out this fantastic video, produced by Huell Howser.
In addition to educating music fans about the campaign, and how this would set a precedent for allowing development in our state parks, nationwide, we asked music fans to sign a petition to save Trestles.
By February of 2008 we had collected 26 pages of signatures, representing concerned music fans hailing from California, Washington, DC, South Carolina, New Jersey, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Texas, North Carolina, Nevada, Hawaii, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, and even St Croix in the US Virgin Islands.
On February 6, 2008 the California Coastal Commission held what turned out to be a historic public hearing in San Diego, to determine if the proposed development for the park was in keeping with California state law.
Since a member of the Washington, DC Chapter could not be present at the hearing, we contacted the California Coastal Commission staff, and learned how to submit our petition signatures, and a coverletter declaring our opposition to the development, for the hearing record. Then, we partnered with Dana Flach, a member of Surfrider's San Diego Chapter, who was kind enough to present our petition signatures to the commissioners, in person, at the hearing.
You can see Dana make her statement, here:
Since the hearing was streaming live on the internet, I was able to watch Dana make her speech from my apartment in Washington, DC. Thanks again, Dana!
You can see more footage from the historic hearing, here:
Check out this LA Times article, for more details about the day.
After the California Coastal Commission rejected the development proposal, 8-2, that day, the developers appealed to the US Secretary of Commerce. The US Secretary of Commerce agreed to hold a public hearing, to give the public the opportunity to voice their concerns to the Secretary of Commerce. That hearing took place on September 22, 2008 at San Diego's Del Mar Fairgrounds.
I happened to be in San Diego at the time of the US Secretary of Commerce hearing, and was able to represent the Washington, DC Chapter in person. It was soooooo exciting! I was joined by several members of the Washington, DC Chapter, who have recently relocated to San Diego - Darryl, Peggy, and Jonathan.
In advance of the hearing, I submitted my formal request to make a public statement during the hearing, and was very excited when I was assigned a speaking number - #318. Unfortunately, when the hearing ended at 8:30pm, there were still about 80 people ahead of me, who also didn't get a chance to speak. Ah well! As you can see from the slideshow below, at least I was present all day, and did a lot of sign waving:)
Surfrider - and all of the music fans who signed our petition, plus all of the artists, management, venue staff, and our friends at Walther Productions who made this all possible - received some great news on December 18, 2008, when the Department of Commerce announced that it would uphold the California Coastal Commission's decision!
The proposed development project is FINALLY, OFFICIALLY ILLEGAL under California state and federal law! Woooohoooooooooo!!!!!!
Thanks again to everyone who made the Music Outreach Program's contribution to this historic victory, possible.
Review by Nicole Parisi-Smith. Originally posted to the Surfrider Washington, DC Chapter message board on December 4, 2006 ---
Megan Kelley and I tabled at Donavon Frankenreiter's show at the Recher in Towson, MD on Nov 21st. It was a big success!!
It was a sold-out show, and it was a really fun crowd. We met a lot of great people, who had traveled to the Recher from all over the region, in order to see Donavon. A lot of fans already knew about Surfrider, and were familiar with the Save Trestles Campaign. We thanked fans who donated to the cause with Save Trestles gear - tshirts and trucker hats. We actually ran out of hats! My favorite moment of the night was watching a fan take the hat, and then immediately place it on his head. Since he was a bigger guy, I could see the hat, all night, bopping around the room:)
We collected fans' names and email addresses for the chapter email list, and signatures on the national Save Trestles Campaign petition.
Thanks to Julie and Galen for lending Megan and I a folding table, and for providing us with the tabling merchandise. Thanks to Darryl for lending us the Save Trestles Campaign materials. Thanks to Donavon's tour manager, Hugh, for allowing us to table, and for helping us set up that night! We really appreciated the support! Finally, thanks to the Recher staff, and Walther Productions, who were so helpful and accomodating.

This blog was created by the Washington DC, San Francisco CA, and Portland OR Chapters of the Surfrider Foundation to share our stories about the Music Outreach Program.
The Music Outreach Program is a partnership between these three Surfrider Chapters and the live music community. Chapter activists set up outreach tables at DC, San Francisco, and Portland concerts, and talk with live music fans about the Surfrider mission. Thanks to all who have offered us their support since the program's founding in 2007!
We hope to participate in concerts on a regular basis, and will always post concert reviews and photos to this blog. Please check back for updates!
If you are interested in volunteering, or if you'd like to partner with us, then please send our MOP Coordinators an email at nicole @ SFsurfrider.org.
Thanks! Tia Mignonne San Francisco, CA Chapter Music Outreach Program Coordinator Sunya Ince-Johannsen Portland, OR Chapter Music Outreach Program Coordinator
