Social Justice - Compassion.

Saturday, August 08, 2009

Hey gangsters,

If its cool with you guys I would love to take a little time out amongst the hustle and bustle of planning your School Exo Days, motivating your friends and youth groups to get to the Big Exo Day 09 and getting pumped over the monster lineup we have this year... and spare a thought for the work of compassion.

We are more then privileged again this year to partner with such a great organization and are excited to be stepping it up a notch with our social justice initiatives. The Big Exo Day is about placing value on young people, ALL young people, everywhere, despite the geographical or social differences between us. Compassion is a practical way of out-working this thought.

Look out for their tent in the Daylight Markets at the Big Exo Day or go to compassion.com.au to find out how you personally can partner with them.

...Josh

Want these shoes...?

Wednesday, August 05, 2009

Soooo.... we have fought burglars, ninjas, dragons and die hard fans and are proud to say that we STILL have this signed pair of Steve Caballero signature model shoes from Vans to give away!!

Steve Caballero, after turning pro at the age of 17 has been on the cover of Thrasher magazine, has been featured as a character in four of the Tony Hawk skateboarding games, is a founding member of the bones brigade and has travelled the world with skaters such as Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, Mike McGill, Christian Hosoi and Bob Burnquist.

In an effort to make sure the person who wins these shoes REALLY appreciates them we want you to put in just a little work...

Firstly you need to have bought your ticket before the 4th of September
and secondly politely comment "Please may i have these shoes" on this post. (Make sure to include your NAME and EMAIL ADDRESS)

We will announce the winner and get Steve Cab to give you the shoes from the main stage!!

_Peace, love and punk rock.

Can Haste The Day please play main stage? They deserve it so much.

exo crew commented on 27-Jul-2009 10:39 AM

Hey Timmy.

Haste the day will get more airtime headlining the hardcore stage. There's no doubt they deserve it, they're an awesome band! Thats why we would rather have them headline the hardcore stage then get limited time on the mainstage.

I'll be in the crowd! There's no doubt about that.

See ya there!

jordan commented on 31-Jul-2009 10:35 PM

but this means that relient k and haste the day will be on at the same time, right? =/

Luke commented on 02-Aug-2009 02:42 AM

Ive already sent an email, but just enq. is it possible to film the event.

Youth Alive Team commented on 08-Aug-2009 08:11 PM

Hey Jordan,

Nup, they'll be on at different times. Keep an on on the blog. I might try leak the timetable in the not to distant future so you can see how it will all work.

youth Alive Team commented on 08-Aug-2009 08:31 PM

Luke. You can use still photographic cameras. Unfortunately due to copyright issues, sound recording devices and video or movie cameras are prohibited.

daniel commented on 22-Aug-2009 11:15 AM

i dont really get how the tickets work
floor tickets are sold out, so thats a shame, but if i buy section A tickets does that mean i'll have to sit on seats at all stages or just the main stage? will i be able to be on the floor for the hardcore stage?

Youth Alive Team commented on 24-Aug-2009 07:08 PM

Hey Dan,
Thanks for the post. I altered the tickets page so it's a bit clearer. The Tickets are solely for the main stage. During the day you can go where every you want, if fact i highly recommend checking out all the zones/stages. Cheers,YA
