Summer is officially here! With Warped Tour starting in 2 days here s another Warped celebrity summit cruise review Tour Edition of my series celebrity summit cruise review Behind the Scenes with another Warped Tour veteran to try to get an idea of what really happens, and what really goes into working this very long, very hot, tour. This will give you some tips on what to wear/ where to eat/ how to get involved with the festival/ the do s and don ts of Warped Tour and some bands you should check out while there. Let the countdown celebrity summit cruise review begin!
Tour Manager/Brand Ambassador for District Kills Records (2009), Brand Ambassador for Topshelf Records (2010), Guest list/Box Office Assistant/Volunteer (2010), Sales for Umbrella Clothing (2010), Production Office Assistant/Intern (2011), EIY Host/Coordinator (2011), and this summer I am the Artist Manager/Back Up Emcee for Kia (2012)
Warped in 2009 was my first tour! When I was living in Maine I used to book shows and festivals in my area. I started booking when I was 16, and my school had me book the entertainment for a few environmental festivals we did. Through the years of doing that and attending local shows and helping out my friends, I made a lot of great friends and connections in New England and one of those connections invited me to go out with them and their label to promote on the 2009 VWT. After that I just kept working hard, meeting celebrity summit cruise review new people, and getting more tour experience.
Depends on the job! As a brand ambassador, celebrity summit cruise review I would wake up pretty early, get dressed, brush my teeth and then grab an iPod and some cd s and start hustling in the lines. After doing that for a couple hours, celebrity summit cruise review I'd help out in our tent and just sell CDs and talk to kids and educate them on the product/label we were promoting. End of the day we'd count out, pack up and get ready to do it all over again. As a Production Office Assistant/Intern, I would wake up super early, explore the venue to figure out where everything was, write up the day sheet, deal with beer and water, set up the office, take in laundry, unpack the production cases, send out the day sheet, answer questions and direct people all day, then pack up at the end of the day and do it all over again. As the EIY host, I updated celebrity summit cruise review our social networks; picked out a meeting time and place, scheduled time with Kevin and Lisa and whomever else I was having speak at the meet up, taking photos celebrity summit cruise review and uploading celebrity summit cruise review them to the Facebook and setting up our mailing list. Doing merch for Umbrella Clothing, I would load-in, set up, hang out in the tent and take care of customers, then count out and load out at the end of the day. As Guest List, I would help sign in guests and press and wristband kids during the busy part of the morning.
Water, sunscreen, cheap sun glasses and sneakers. All extremely crucial items. I broke both of my big toe nails last summer because I was wearing sandals. Some days, sneakers are too hot, but other days, it's worth it. I also broke one of my big toe nails in 2008 when I attended the show, one of the worst feelings; the other things I mentioned are pretty self-explanatory. Also- if you can map out the venue in your head, you don't ever have to worry about missing your favorite bands or getting lost looking for real bathrooms or showers.
Do support your favorite bands and also check out some new ones. Don't day drink on hot days. Do check out sponsor world and get free stuff and play games. Don't try to sneak into the backstage celebrity summit cruise review area/BBQs/Venue. Do drink lots of water and bring some small snacks so you don't have to spend a fortune at the venue. Don't over exert yourself, if you feel your body getting tired/weak; take a break in the shade. Do introduce yourself to as many people as possible, we love meeting new people and it makes our days go by quicker. Don't linger, if you're not buying merch and the signing is over and conversation feels a bit awkward/disinteresting, move on. You could be preventing other sales from happening or making it harder for people celebrity summit cruise review to do their jobs.
The Gorge in George, Washington celebrity summit cruise review had been one of my favorite venues, but all in all, Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg, FL is the best date/venue. So sick, it's right on the water and the weather is usually pretty great.
I have such a hard time picking just one. Drew (my boyfriend) celebrity summit cruise review and I got trapped celebrity summit cruise review in an elevator in Las Cruces, NM last year and the fire department had to break in to the elevator to get us out and pretty much everyone that was out with the production buses was waiting on the other side, haha. Epic.
Look for internships and opportunities, volunteer celebrity summit cruise review at as many dates as you can. So many of our volunteers end up coming back and eventually some of them will get hired if they do a great job and show a lot of potential.
I'm really looking forward to my new job. It's pretty much my ideal position and I am still going to be able to pay my bills while I'm on tour. I am also really excited to reunite with my friends and to make new ones. I also am going to learn how to surf on one of my days off and go to Vegas for the first time as a 21 year old. I get to see my uncle and his family for the first time in five years this summer because the Washington date of tour is right next to Seattle. So fantastic.
