OT: 30 Hour Day -- A 30-hour livestreaming charity telethon, this July 2nd and 3rd
Igal Koshevoy
telethon organized by locals Cami Kaos, Rick Turoczy and Mike "Dr.
Normal" Gebhardt. They'll be up for 30 hours providing you with a
non-stop livestream of entertainment for good causes at:
http://30hourday.org/
I volunteered at the event last year and it was awesome. They had
wonderful performances by local musicians, interviews with local
techies and entrepreneurs, hilarious local comedians, live painting by
talented local artists, and much more. I'll be volunteering again at
this year's event and they promise that it'll be even bigger, with the
festivities taking over Pioneer Courthouse Square for much of the
broadcast.
So please tune in this Friday and Saturday at http://30hourday.org/ to
watch the action unfold and pledge your donations to the many worthy
causes this event supports. Please also consider sponsoring the event
if you're a company, it's affordable and last year's event got a lot
of local and worldwide attention, with coverage from many major media
outlets.
