Anoop Desai Street Team Newsletter No. 1 September 13, 2009 anooptroop.proboards.com/index.cgiHi everyone! This is our very first Street Team newsletter. I am a firm believer in small starts and soft launching. So this newsletter is primarily written just by me and containing just a few pieces of essential information. However, I expect we’ll have more and more info submitted by many street teamers as we move along. -Yoko Anoop Desai Solo Concert Thursday, October 22. North Carolina State Fair Anoop will perform his very first solo concert on Thureday, October 22 in Raleigh, North Carolina as a part of the NC State Fair Dorton Arena concert series. This arena has the seating capacity of 5,110. Filling this arena would show the music industry that Anoop Desai can sell tickets and mp3 downloads. The Fair office has been in touch with Kary, and is excited about the fact that we can help promote Anoop’s show. Kary will have handouts and buttons for us use to promote the show as we stroll around the fair during the day. Kary will have more information on the pimp gear and plans soon. Ticket information for the Dorton Arena shows is here: ncstatefair.org/2009/Entertainment/DortonShows.htmKary’s button design contest info is here: anooptroop.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=306 Anoop Dogg Wristbands to benefit Eve Carson Memorial Scholarship Fund Jean is spearheading the effort to raise funds for the Eve Carson Scholarship through the sales of Anoop Dogg Wristbands. The first increment of contribution was just acknowledged by the UNC Giving Campaign office on Friday. I will be posting the receipt soon for everyone to take a look and be proud of. This thread contains more info, pictures, and video: anooptroop.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=campaignboard&action=display&thread=286 We trended #SignAnoopDesai on Twitter on Saturday, September 5 It was originally schemed up by Nene and Tawnee, and many “usual suspects” made tweets to help the trend. However, the trending was made possible because the entire American Idol fan community came together. #SignAnoopDesai trended for approximately five hours, peaking at the #2 position at around 9:20 PM EDT. The trending showed, in a tangible way, that there is a broad-based, significant support for Anoop’s future music career. Read more about it in this thread: anooptroop.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=campaignboard&action=display&thread=295The Street Team is Continuously Improving! We continue to improve the Street Team web site, as it is our primary tool to reach out and mobilize when Anoop books more shows and/or releases mp3 singles. We have added an IMEEM music sampler (with link to the full player), slide show, and YouTube videos. Many street teamers are deeply involved in the site improvement. Most notably, Brooklyn made the fly Street Team logo. Anita has solved every single HTML-related issues that ever came up. Diana and Nene were instrumental in launching the Video Of The Day feature. Diana is also responsible for the very moving photo/video montage shown at the bottom of the home page. If you have ideas for promoting Anoop, or just want to share a squeeeee, The Street Team is the place to share all things related to Anoop and his music career. Please check the site often and participate in the discussion. Yoko
