This was one intense event.  In fact my quads are still sore from hopping around to get some good angles.  See Daniel Matthews in the picture there? He was totally crowd surfing without the help of a stage.  I didn’t get the photo because I was just way to winded.

Art from the night was provided by The Dope Show Performances also by The Kneehighs, Terry Matsuoka, and the Dead Breaks Society.  Sponsors of the night included Walk the Walk Presents and Future Rockstars of America.  Music video teaser below and full album after the jump!

The Pnoy Apparel Inc and Alpha Psi Rho of SDSU coproduced the charity event: A Sammy Thing.  It was part of their Shirt the Kids campaign with proceeds going to the Philippine Children’s Fund. The concert took place at Montezuma Hall at San Diego State University.
