The Mighty Mic event was a huge success in terms of getting positive publicity for Current TV and Current.com. Danny worked like crazy. Me, Tania and Kevin Ung manned the table and gave out 200 T-shirts, as well as buttons and brochures. The entire time we were there, our booth was thronged with people signing up on Current.com to get a free T-shirt. When the server connection finally pooped out, we continued to get people to sign up on paper and then Tania completed the sign up process for them later.
Laura Ling spoke to a packed crowd in the middle of the evening. She showed the pod From Russia with Hate on the gianormous screen. Other pods also played throughout the evening, but this one especially had a riveted audience watching in the huge, darkened ballroom.
All in all it was a solid success. I personally hope Current TV chooses to stay involved and promoting itself at UCLA, because not many people knew about Current. But those that did, invariably said, "Oh! I love Current TV!"

A 9-day multi-event human rights gathering will be held May 20 – 29th of 2008 on the UCLA campus. The events will consist of a Genocide Awareness Week to occur between May 20 – May 29, and the Mighty Mic Human Rights Awareness Concert to Save Darfur in Ackerman Grand Ballroom on the evening of May 29th, 2008. We feel that this date is significant as this year will see the 60th Anniversary of the Raphael Lemkin’s 1948 Genocide Convention, where the world first proclaimed its opposition to genocide and ethnic cleansing at the international level.
