Benjamin Adrion and St. Pauli, the cult soccer sensation from Hamburg, Germany, created Viva con Agua to give people access to clean drinking water worldwide. As part of Viva con Agua's global WaterDays 2009, watch St. Pauli's away game against TUS Koblenz (tape delayed) and rock out with All Torn Up and special guests.

We're having a silent auction with an autographed tour shirt from Art Brut, an FC St. Pauli jersey, Tapete Records' "We Love St. Pauli" compilation cd and companion t-shirt, RB New York jersey, and much, much more!

Festivities and match viewing get underway at 6pm at East River Bar, 97 S 6th St (between Berry St and Bedford Ave, by the Williamsburg Bridge), Brooklyn, NY 11211. Easy to get to on the "L" train.

Free event. Donations for Viva con Agua accepted. 21+ New York ist braun-weiß!

Fährst du nach New York? Hast du Freunde oder Familie dort?

Dann feiere mit uns! Wir sind ein FC St. Pauli-Fanclub aus New York.

Am Sonntag, 6. Dezember 2009 veranstalten wir unter dem Motto The Glass Is Half Full ein Benefizkonzert für Viva con Agua, einer Initiative für sauberes Trinkwasser in Entwicklungsländern. Die britische Band Art Brut (Hitsong: "St. Pauli") hat uns für unsere Versteigerung ein signiertes Tour T-Shirt geschenkt, außerdem wird es weitere großartige Preise geben.

Die Veranstaltung findet im Rahmen der Sankt Pauli 2009 Water Days von Viva con Agua statt. Wir sehen uns erst das Ligaspiel zwischen dem FC St. Pauli und der TuS Koblenz an (als Aufzeichnung, einen Tag verspätet) und rocken danach mit der Band All Torn Up und Gästen.

Wir beginnen um 18:00 (EST) in der East River Bar, 97 S 6th St (zwischen Berry St und Bedford Ave, unter der Williamsburg Bridge), Brooklyn, NY 11211.

Die Veranstaltung ist kostenlos. Über wohltätige Spenden für Viva Con Agua freuen wir uns aber natürlich. Aus rechtlichen Gründen sollten Gäste mindestens 21 Jahre alt sein.

New York ist braun-weiß!

This is this weekend... Be sure to tell all of your friends in New York.

Fine work! I hope it all goes well!

Hope it went well. You could hardly have chosen a better game to show!

It was a good time, we raised around $500 I believe, still waiting on the final count and such. I was trying to hold out posting a review of the night until we got some pictures, but no one has uploaded them yet, probably because we're all still hung over

All I have to say is this: If you ever hold a type of event and get sponsorship from a rum manufacturer, (sidenote: Thank you to Sailor Jerry for providing a couple of bottles of free rum

particularly if said rum is 92 proof, please auction the rum off instead of letting people drink it... I had quite a few more shots of rum than I was intending to...

Also thanks go to:
Brooklyn Brewery - (http://www.brooklynbrewery.com/)
If you're ever doing a holiday in New York, be sure to take a tour of this place. At the end, all the beer you can drink, I've heard good things. They provided us with a couple free tours.
Red Bull New York - Provided a team autographed ball, also thanks to Ernst Oebster for providing an autographed Jersey.
FC St Pauli - For their team autographed Jersey. Oddly enough, it was this year's outfield player kit, with Matthias Hain's name and number on it... It's got to be some type of rare collectable, eh?
Music bands Art Brut and The Wakes for providing T-shirts, as well as thanks to All Torn Up (http://www.myspace.com/atunyc) and Rabbi Darkside (http://www.myspace.com/rabbiraps) for playing live.

I'd also like to thank the other members of our little viewing club for all the work that went into our recent projects, this event and the song done by above mentioned artists, which will hopefully leak out soon.

well done!

p.s.: I love Sailor Jerry's Rum, would I have known before that you guys hand it out for free, I might have come!

$656 was the final tally

well done to those who put in the effort. might be back out next march see you soon.

If you guys are going to be doing another benefit show, please let me know! I know some bands who would draw a crowd and would love to support your cause. Wish I had known about this though, definitely would have made it out and supported it.

I think it's pretty safe to say that this type of event will become an annual thing, if not more often. We'll be sure to keep you aware.

92 proof?! That explains a lot about that night..........gees. I'm still hungover 3 months later........
