To be honest, I've been so busy with work, interning and playing music that I just never even got around to realizing that we had to do posts! I know that sound stupid but, it would be nice if it didn't cost so much to take intern credits, or if I was getting paid from MJG Production... where I'm interning... but its never that easy. So time is short and work is long! However, I've been learning a ton from MJG. MJG is a company that books and promotes local and even some national acts. Over the summer I helped work festivals like Log Jam and 10K Lakes. Just recently, we signed a managing contract with The Breakfast out of New York! When I first started interning my boss Mark had me answering phones and making business calls for him. This was a great way to break me into the industry and introduce me to the people we would be working with. I was also doing a lot of mailing of bills, checks, and promo. More recently I've been focusing more on promotions and venue research. To be honest this is my true passion. I would love to someday plot and plan tours for bands. I love venues! Anyways, all last week and this week I will be doing alot of ground work promoting our November shows at Trocaderos, The Cabooze, The Downtime. I usually start in Dinky Town and then I head to Uptown. On Wed, Ill go to Downtown and then through St. Paul. Then last but never least Ill hit the west suburbs because that's where I live.
