Second Day

New Vocab:

"Dog House"- The large scafholding and light system suspended above the Assembly Hall Arena

Dorecap Sheet - Excel spreadsheet that includes all of the financial information regarding the show.

Today was rather dynamic to say the least. Upon my entrance into Jenny's office, I already had work assigned (which was nice because it made me feel productive). First came an assigment which was rather expected for a highschool intern's first job - updating flyers in bathroom stalls throughout assembly hall (D). This did not turn out too bad for me afterall, because it gave me a chance to learn the layout of all the bathrooms in the building (A). While it may not have been a glorious job, it was certainly better than nothing (F).
My next objective was just as straigh foreward. I made fifty copies of a Ben Folds flyer in blue paper (D). This may sound like a joke, however if you have never worked a touch screen, state of the art copy machine, then it poses as a slight challenge. This was yet another learning experience that got me more in touch with my sorroundings (A, F). Shortly after I was shown a dorecap sheet of which I would have to edit for the upcoming Ben Folds show. This sheet was a summary of all of the financial components that go into promoting and advertising a show (everything from newspaper costs to facebook). This was especially useful because I now know that I will gain some experience in excel.
Next came the weekly staff meeting that occurs every Thursday. This was by far the most interesting part of the day, because I learned alot about how the workplace functions and upcoming shows we have to book and promote. While I may not be allowed to share them all (confidentiality- HOW EXCITING), I can assure you all that there are some great names coming into town. After basic information was voiced, we went in a circle and talked about what we're working on.
Lastly I was introduced to the other three college interns - Anne, Anna, and Adam (confusing right?). They were very nice and productive as well, as I hope to learn a great deal from them.
