The Interns

I am an intern for the Production Manager at Clear Channel Entertainment's Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. My job consists of everything under the sun, but the most exciting part is producing concerts. In my three weeks here I have met and interacted with several stars, with many more to follow.

I found out about this internship in a very unexpected way. I checked a random email account that I had not checked in about four months. I saw a message in my inbox talking about concession and security positions at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. I didn't want to do that type of work, so I called the head guy to see if they offered internships. He told me he did, but that I had missed the deadline. I said thank you and hung up the phone. I thought for a second and realized that I wasn't going to let it go there, so I called him back and asked if I could set up an interview. He agreed since he had not made his final decision. Long story short, I and three others were chosen out of 20 individuals for the positions.

The four of us will be in charge of many concerts, but my big one is Vans Warped Tour. I am in the process of getting the show going. Fifty bands, seven stages, 55 buses, and we won't even get into how many fans will be there. It is going to be an organized nightmare, but I am looking forward to it more than ever. I am in charge of contacting bands, scheduling meetings, preparing the venue, etc. slong with my buddy, Dewey. We are the production team for the show.

I will let you all know how it goes.

Side note: I will not be bribed for tickets. :) Pictures coming soon.
