WARPED TOUR! (maybe)

So I landed an awesome interview for Monday. What is it for you ask? Well I am interviewing to be the asst. merch manager for CBGB's booth at Warped Tour this summer. So super awesome and really the break I needed. I really hope I can get this for several reasons
a. Experience, duh
b. Contacts
c. It doesn't start until the end of June so I'd still have time to move into my new apartment in Brighton, MA
d. It pays
e. Do I need anymore? It's for the best venue there ever was.

I know what you're thinking, I do already have the summer position with Pretty Polly and I'm not one for screwing people that help me out. But this is the offer of a lifetime and cannot be passed up especially by someone who needs it as bad as I do. IF I do get the position then I will have to ask Howie is I can defer the start date until September and offer to help out as much as possible via email and phone over the who months on tour and offer to still work the 20 something days I'm still here. Hopefully it's good enough.

Lessons learned:
Make friends with people that work in Artist Development departments at record labels. Thank you Katie!
