“I came up with the idea last May,” Johnston says. “It was supposed to be a one-off thing, but it went so well I decided to try it again. Next thing I knew, it was a monthly event.”
An intimate audience might not be the right description of the crowd, but it is not at all crowded with its small but loyal following. The main performance spot is in front of a giant wall covered in graffiti referred to as Graffiti Wall, but Covert Concerts has plans to move around to a different spot each month.
The show is powered by a generator, and though anyone can sign up to play, the bills are mostly rock and metal. The event is promoted as not having everything a typical venue might have (like bathrooms), but it has been well received by interested performers, and Johnston has had no trouble getting enough bands to play each month.
The University of Texas at Dallas is offering support and resources to Asian students as well as hosting virtual conversations through its Multicultural Center and Gender Center. One upcoming discussion, Comets Cultural Conversations, will tackle Asian American history and systemic racism in Dallas.
Some local companies and organizations such as Detour Donuts and Coffee in Frisco, which also happens to be Asian-owned are fundraising and donating to Asian advocacy groups. Owner Jinny Cho donated the money from her deliciously controversial “#StopAsianHateDonuts” to the AAPI Community Fund GoFundMe.
“In 4 days, we sold $2936 worth of #stopasianhate donuts!” Cho wrote in a Facebook post.
