To raise awareness and money for STAND and genocide in general, I am planning a concert with several local Arizona bands sometime in December. Currently I am trying to figure out which venue I could use, and which bands would be willing to play. So if anyone knows of any bands in Arizona, please let me know! I'm looking forward to raising money to stop the genocide taking place in Darfur and other places around the world. And just so everyone knows, this will be my first event, so wish me luck!
