I'll go back a week or two..
So, September 8th. Two days before the launch of our Fall 2009 Schools for Schools and Rescue and Recovery Tour. It was intense. Roadies were scrambling for last minute training's, while at the same time trying to book final screenings. It was hectic. On the 3rd for of Invisible Children we were running around, organizing $175,000 in merch.. in real time understandable words.. thats about 20,000 t-shirts, lots of bracelets, and DVD's. We took pictures and made videos... here are a few pictures from pre-tour launch downstairs. This is what I did.. with Kaitlin of course.. and an amazing boss, Russell.
This is the night before launch. It was soo clean and organized until this night. Its messy because the roadies were rolling shirts, and beginning to carry stuff outside to put into vans.
This is a picture looking down from the roof of the office onto some roadies loading the vans the night before launch.
This is a team loading one of the new vans, preparing for tour.
This is actually what the room looked like before it got messy.
Hmm.. these are bracelets that came in two days before launch. It was a ton!
Some Roadies rolling shirts in the room that isn't even ours.. our office building loves us.. heh. :/
So.. here are pictures from the Launch Party on September 10th on top of Mount Soledad. It was amazing. Pictures tell the story.
This is Marissa... and some other interns. Welcome to the launch party. :)
These are some of the master minds behind Invisible Children. 
Epic moment. Jason Russell spoke, and behind him was a full moon. Nothing like a moonshot, eh? The Roadies were blasting off!
This is our fleet. PREPARE FOR BLAST OFF!
Tyler Jones!!! TAKE OFF!
Sean Hines was so excited, he was about to jump out of the van and start tour charging towards peace!It has been an EPIC adventure so far, and there is sooo much more to come. I also have a lot to catch ya'll up with. More posts coming soon!!
