That's a Wrap... ~ MandersLuke

It feels like it was just yesterday that I got an e-mail from Rhonda, asking me to come down to Cricket to get started on all of the Country Megaticket 2012 stuff. So much has happened since receiving that email on January 29.

Countless emails, phone calls, planning meetings, dreaming, prepping, executing, and follow up has taken place. To say that I am proud of the work that I (and my wonderful co-workers, friends, and family) did, would be a gross understatement. It was an absolute joy to work on this project. There were moments that were really hard but those are overshadowed by the immense amount of joy and gratitude that I have for being able to be part of this event series.

Part of my job was to get to know the purchasers - to be their hostess with the mostess... As I got to know many of the purchasers, they allowed me to be part of celebrating engagements, babies, birthdays, new jobs, and lots of other life events. With every concert that came and went, I really grew to love the people in the Country Megaticket Premium Lounge - some, I even call friend.

We closed out the 2012 Concert Season and the Country Megaticket 2012 at Cricket Wireless Amphitheater on October 18, with Brad Paisley, The Band Perry and Scotty McCreery. It was bittersweet. After almost 9 months, it was time to close up shop until 2013.

I can't wait for the Country Megaticket 2013 and all the joy that it will bring. I know I am a few days early on my annual posts on Thankfulness but this couldn't wait.

So, for the Country Megaticket 2012... That's a Wrap!

Ashley was my partner in crime at the Country Megaticket Lounge for the shows at CWA. I am so thankful that she got placed at my party. As you can tell, we didn't have any fun at all! She has become a good friend of mine and I can't wait to have her on my team again in 2013!

Alicia and Will are HANDS DOWN two of my very favorite people that I got to meet through the CMT2012. These two are so fun and always made Ashley and I smile. They have taken some of the BEST photobooth pictures this season. I always love seeing what they do for their photos! They became unofficial members of the CMT2012 team, as Will considered himself the bouncer and the both always found themselves helping Ashley and I at the door. They are just so fun!
