September 12th 2009 - SUNY College @ Oneonta (Dewar Arena) - Oneonta, NY
Check Andy's report about Lupe's concert at the SUNY College @ Oneonta below!
Hey, my name is Andy and I'm a huge Lupe fan so I decided to get him to come to my school to perform. In order to do this I had to convince a board of 12 of my peers that Lupe would do good here, which was not an easy task.
Even though I was elected concert chair, my peers and my supervisor made it very difficult for me to get Lupe. They didn't want him because they claim our school is more of an "alternative rock" school (aka white school).
Though they made it hard, they finally agreed to the idea and boy was right!! Lupe killed the stage this past Saturday! Not only that, most of our sales were by Oneonta students and not the outside public. Tickets were flying and people would call me personally for tickets to make sure they had some.
The Arena was packed and people sang, jumped, and crowd surfed the whole time Lupe was on. When Lupe's hour was up, no one in the arena left. They stood there and chanted "LUPE" "COME BACK" "ENCORE" then Lupe came back and performed for 20-25 more minutes! Hands down this was the best concert we had in years. Lupe is the killer!
Thanks Andy!
This is awesome how can i make this happen at my school im very interested..please get back to me if you can
ReplyDeletehey this is andy... i joined the students activity counsel at my school and as elected concert chair. all you have to do is find out who or what group controls the school events and get involved. the only reason i joined was to get lupe to come lol... and it worked =)
ReplyDeleteHey Sean, this is Jason from the LAST Oneonta article. Me and Andy put in EXTRAORDINARY work to get Lupe. Seriously, the rest of our eboard and supervisor had doubts and I think wanted this to fail. But that didnt happen, Lupe blazed the arena.
ReplyDeleteANDDD during the end of his performance (the encore that is) he handed me a bottle of Apple cider haha that was such a great moment in my life. Big ups to Lupe, COME BACK SOON!
