I am hosting an event in which I perform music. It will be a fundraiser for Obama ($20 suggested donation, $10 for students.) I would like to leverage the gain to the campaign by also live webcasting on a website, where there will be a 'donate to the campaign' button. (And the same suggested donation.) I don't pretend to be a famous musician, but I think, with the proper buzz, I could raise between $500 and $1000. So I would like to do my part. The performance is next saturday, sept 27th, at 8pm (EST) at, (I hope) thedu.us/supports/obama .
I am not posting this in order to get the dailykos community to donate (I imagine most of you, like me, are already giving in cash until it hurts) nor even necessarily to watch (although I'd of course love it if you did). Instead, I would like help in setting up the live webcast. Does anyone here know how to do it? I have a Mac laptop with a good audio set-up, and frankly the isight camera is good enough for the video. Please see (more) for details.
I put the details of the event below.
If you have any ideas about how to make this more successful, please let me know. I just want to help the campaign and have a good time while I'm doing it.
DETAILS:
**please forward to any interested people or groups**
Dear Faculty, Staff, & Friends:
Binghamton for Obama sends doorknockers to Pennsylvania to get people to vote for Obama on November 4th--door-knocking and personal conversations are the most effective tools for getting people to the polls on election day.
On Saturday, September 27th, we'll have a fundraiser to help these volunteers: a performance by Andreas Duus Pape on guitar, harmonica, and voice, right here on the Binghamton west side.
Please join us on Saturday, 27 September, at 8:00 for this performance & wine & cheese party.
What: Obama fundraiser: music, wine, and cheese
When: Saturday, 27 September, 8:00pm
Where: [please email me for address], Binghamton
Suggested donation: $20 cash (preferred) or check to the Broome County Democratic Party. All money raised will fund volunteers to talk to voters in Pennsylvania. (Suggested donation only $10 for students.)
