assalamu alaikum wr wb

what did the article say?

hey you do know that the head admin of sv was there (i think).? i missed it unfortunately but glad to see it was a good turn out.

Yeah MuslimFest was hype!!! I was an usher as well and we had V.I.P. access to Dawud, Zain and Irfan! Sami Yusuf's no show was a major disappointment but I think the extra nasheeds made up for that...it was nice to see bro Dawud 'let loose' a little and the non-Muslim percussionists put a on a good show too...but the guy in 'the pit' was interesting. And who's Geewan?

everyone,

Yes the head of SV gave the volunteers a pep talk before we started our shifts. Very nice man, He told us that Muslims often forget to smile and our main job that day was to keep smilin' (really cheese grin)

I still don't know why Sami Yusuf cancelled though.

As for the articles...there were several that were for and against the event. I'll try to post some links later

Salam.
