Today was rather eventful, finally. I spent most of my time coordinating everything for my register to win. The show I am working on is Rise Against, a punk band of which I am no too fond of. Nevertheless ticket sales are down for it so I'm setting up a little promotion. I began by calling local tattoo and piercing parlors and asked them if I could host a register to win at their main lobby (prize is two tickets to the concert, B section). I figured the types of people to be getting inked up are the same who enjoy raging to punk rock music. Next step was a short meeting with Janet, our graphic designer, in which we designed a Rise Against poster that included a register to win opportunity. This was some good experience in my field considering I learned graphic advertisements, public relations and all together promotion.
During my initial tour of Assembly Hall I ran into the lights and mechanics director. He told me he planned on taking me up to the scaffolding. Today I asked him if it was a good day for the tour, and it turns out it was. It was pretty interesting walking across the bridge and above the scoreboard as I look down a 300 foot drop to the Illinois Basketball court. Shane, the mechanics director, even gave me some life advice - "high school years are the best of your life". A rather depressing statement to say the least.
