I went to this thing...pretty good time. Afterwards though, I heard some things that bothered me about the whole thing. I didn't hear this directly, but I am pretty confident it is accurate. Apparently the Pour House upped the required minimum bar tab on Engineers Without Borders at the last minute and it was not met. So the Pour House ended up taking all the proceeds from the door, and Engineers Without Borders not only didn't raise any money for the project in Bolivia, the club actually ended up losing money to the bar. Way to go Pour House, stealing from a benefit concert.
