The party was pretty easy work and went well. When the party was over, I headed over to June's office to say hi to her before heading in to check out some of the show. (SIDE NOTE - Lady Gaga is an incredible performer. She can be a bit crude and overwhelming but when you get past that and she does her thing, it is something to be seen.) I am so glad that I stopped in to say hi. It is in June's office that I met Kristin and Rhonda.
The conversation with Kristin went a little like this.
Me: Hi, I am Amanda.
Kristin: Hi, I am Kristin.
Me: What do you do?
Kristin: I am the ticketing manager.
Me: Where?
Kristin: San Diego, and Cricket Amphitheater.
Me: Oh, Hire me.
Kristin: Ohhhhh Kayyy.
The next day, I sent an email to follow up and the rest is history.
Last May, I started working at Cricket Wireless Amphitheater as a ticket seller. Once I was on summer break, I started working on an almost daily basis, and Kristin and Rhonda (and Shawn too) started to let me help out with little projects that would come up. There are few things I love more than being given a project along with the freedom to figure it out and make it work. As the season went on, more of these things came up and I loved it every time. I was so sad when the season ended in November and wouldn't pick back up until March.
January came along and I got an email asking me to come in and help with a project that I helped with last season, only this season I get even more responsibility and I love it! I get to work with all of the purchasers, help plan what goes on in the Premium Lounge for them, and just be the person that they can count on throughout the whole process. They are my people and I am their person and I like it.
This past weekend was the first Country Mega Ticket concert in a series of 6 and the Country Mega Ticket Premium Lounge that we created for them was even better than I had envisioned. The decor that I picked out and made added just the right amount of country flair to the great furniture that Tiffany picked out. The food was incredible. The DJ from KSON did a great job, as he did last year. And to top all of that off, my dear friend Tracy, who is a Photographer Extraordinaire, came and took photos at a photo booth that I created. It was SO FUN. The people enjoyed it, they really really enjoyed it. They didn't just grab their food and leave like they did last year, they actually came and hung out. It was exactly what we hoped for... even more.
Here are some fun pictures that I took in the photo booth. Who says work isn't fun?
Kathlene, thank you for hiring me to work the party at Gaga last March. As you know, it opened some pretty great doors for me and I am SO SO SO thankful for that.
Kristin and Rhonda, thank you for taking a chance on me. Thank you for allowing me to work more than just show days. Thank you for letting me take on special projects. Thank you for believing in me to be able to take on a job and do it well. Thank you for everything!
