I started my career!

Now, It's official I have started my promotional career. I was contacted by a promotional marketing company called Marketing Werks (based out of Chicago) last Tuesday and Sunday I flew out to Newark, New Jersey to begin working. I am working the New York Metro promotional Verizon Wireless tour with a guy named Torrey. The promotional tour has a total of 27 vehicles all over the United States which roam to various places. In the north east, where I am located, we have seven vehicles total. We have two HQ rover vehicles which drive across the United States. My job actually pays for me to stay in a nice hotel (currently Comfort Suites which is AMAZING) and gives me an FJ Toyota to drive. I had a full day of training on Monday and then my first event was the Project Revolution Tour with Hawthorne Heights and Linkin Park at Jones Beach, New York on Tuesday. I have a ton of upcoming concerts, sporting events, and venues I am going to be attending. So far I have LOVED the opportunity. I got to meet Linkin Park's tour manager and attend band signings. It hasn't been an easy job. My first day we left at 7:45am and didn't get back until 2am but its all been worth it because the experience has been priceless.
So yeah, thats the little update on what I am doing and where I am at. I am staying in New Jersey but workin in New York. Tomorrow I am going to Brooklyn and Saturday Manhatten.
