Be Ridiculous: Adventures of WeDrink at All Good 2009, Day Four: At This Point We're Sleep-Deprived Zombies

Well, this was to be it. The last day, the last chance to spread the word of our charitable stainless steel bottles.

Saturday Night we saw Green-Man running around, so we just had to give him a free Green WeDrink Bottle.

I had gone to sleep somewhere between 4 and 4:30AM after the Umphrey's McGee concert, it having been the first time I'd left the booth since Wednesday. Woken up one final time by the heat and bright morning sun after just two hours of sleep, it was time get things cranking.

Sunday was to be huge. Primarily because it was the last day, and people didn't have to play the stretch-your-budget game anymore.

My new buddy Adam said it best, "well, with this leftover cash, I could either get a shiny rock or a t-shirt from over there, or I could get one of those steel bottles that, wait a second...10 years of clean water to a kid in Africa?! Done."

The charity aspect of WeDrink was finally starting to set in on a large scale. We'd had growing support all weekend long; but on Sunday, people really came through.

"It just makes sense, you know? Why not get something so useful, especially when it gives so much to charity," remarked my friend O.

Not let me tell you about O. This isn't a nickname, initial, or anything of that sort. 20 Years ago he legally changed his name to "O". It's a long, and interesting story as to how this came about, and the exact details of which I can't remember (I blame the sleep deprivation, and don't wanna publish my fragmented version of the story, in case it turns out to be misrepresentation), but it had something to do with his Native-American heritage and the spirit energy of a particular animal.

All Good ended the weekend with Dark Star Orchestra and their world-famous covers of the Grateful Dead.

I'd been working 20+hour days since Wednsday, and WeDrink ended up losing money on the weekend, but we're still donating the $2922 we promised to our partnered charities PlayPumps International, The Chesapeake Bay Foundation, and Heal the Bay! (FYI, this is more money than Ethos Water contributes after selling over 58,000 of their bottles).

It was an amazing experience and an outstanding success in spreading the word of WeDrink: our stainless-steel bottles with serious donations to charity. I met so many wonderful people along the way, each with their own unique stories and input for helping the cause. But most importantly, I couldn't have done it without the help and support of my friends.
