Burrito Project & Chicago Shows
This is about to come out as a newsletter, but I figured you'd want to know sooner as there are only 20 spots for the burrito project. Also, they're playing a short acoustic set at the apple store in chicago.
Burrito Project & Chicago Shows
The boys are playing in Chicago this Thursday--at 4pm at the Apple Store and that night at the Double Door--but before the shows they've teamed up with the Inspiration Corporation to try and do a little bit of good.
We're looking for 20 volunteers to meet up with OK Go on Thursday afternoon, eat lunch with the boys, and then head out with the band and volunteers from Inspiration Corporation to hand out burritos to people who are impoverished or currently homeless.
If you're interested in participating, email info@okgo.net with Burrito Project as the subject. Only do this if:
a) You're available Thursday from noon to 3pm
You can bring 12 homemade burritos (the recipe is below) to hand out and to eat with the band.
If you have any questions, email them to info@okgo.net. Pete will get back to you soon.
The Inspiration Corporation is a pretty great organization that helps people who are affected by homelessness and poverty to improve their lives. If you can't make it on Thursday afternoon, you should still check them out at http://www.inspirationcorp.org/
To Make The Burritos:
Burritos are simple to make, easy to package, and filled with nutritional goodness. We haven't come up with a patented OK Go Burrito recipe just yet, but here are some basic guidelines:
Get yourself
Some canned black beans or refried beans
Some shredded monterey jack cheese
Some salsa or stewed tomatoes
About a cup of rice
A dozen tortillas
Add a dollop of each of these items onto a tortilla, fold it up into a burrito, and then wrap it in tin foil. You'll be handing these out to people on the street, but you'll also be eating one or two yourself for lunch with the band (the boys don't have a kitchen while on tour, so don't be surprised if they want to try your cooking as well). A dozen burritos should be just enough.
Take care,
jorge

Also, the recipe isn't showing up on the News page at okgo.net.
It really does look like fun- too bad I live in MA.
They have the hugest burritos.

Becky, please say your doing this! Wait, I guess you are. Ooo, I hope you'll do it! *fingers crossed*
Yes, I'm one of the burrito bandidas! I seriously hope I can make a good burrito. I make excellent nachos, but I've never ventured into burrito territory.
There's a first for everything I suppose.
I thought they'd have the 20 people already for sure by the time I got the message, but I got my confirmation email late this afternoon. So: Rearranging plans again in order to be in Chicago on Thursday by noon. Ack!
Also, I just went to the grocery.
This is so exciting!!
I also got some pics and vids at the Apple Store. They boys put on an excellent acoustic set as usual. Pics are here. Below are the vids:
Shooting the Moon
DWYW
OLISQ
BFK (Shh, don't tell Dan that Tim is playing faux drums.)
Last Leaf
HIGA (They "have" to play it. I "had" to record it.)
It was a short sweet set. 6 songs and then out we went.
P.S Thanks for the vids!
Aw, shucks.
