Day 73: Folio Master & Special Guest Star Kenny Alhadeff :)

The office is not very busy today, and with Ms. Denise away, I have the box office all to my lonesome :( She will be back in on Monday though, so it won't be too long. I began by checking some emails. Mr. John had emailed me the new logo and asked about getting it on the tickets. I went into the Folio system to see if it was something I could figure out on my own. However, it was not and I had to phone a friend aka Patrick at Martech! He was out of the office at lunch so awaiting his phone call upon his return.

He called back about a half hour later, and I was ready to add the logo. He walked me through step by step what needed to be done. The process involved a lot of copy and pasting files and folders. A few clicks, copies, pastes, and moves later, we were in business! As you can see it looks great! I was so excited we were able to get it to work I printed a fake-me-out ticket to show Mr. John. I'm very easily impressed with myself. Really, Patrick did all the work, I just followed directions :)

I then made a post office run. I rode my bike to work today, so I was loving riding around town. However, the whole town obviously isn't the safe bike trail so I was a little nervous on my ride to the P.O. I had a slight fail this morning on my bike though. On my way into work I was going down hill and went over a bump and my basket broke and fell off! it was probably because my bag of books was in there, but it had made it that far so I was very surprised! I was even more surprised I didn't completely go over the basket and flip me and the entire bike! Oh adventures in biking, my only hope for the ride home is that the wind is not against me, I dealt with that yesterday and let me tell you, it was slow motion city!

SURPRISE!!!!! Mr. Kenny Alhadeff called me today! In case you don't remember he is one of the Memphis producers. I had texted him last week to follow-up on an email I had sent. I was a little disappointed when I didn't hear back, but being a big time producer I knew he was a busy man. To my surprise and delight I got a follow-up phone call this afternoon. We briefly spoke about his beginnings in theatre and how he went from business man to producer. I have finally begun work on my paper. With my new information I should be able to put together a great introduction! (I hope!) I am currently working on that right now. It is not as great as I would like, but there is room to grow!

My paper is finally finished!!! Nearly three months later, but hey, better late than never :) I'm pretty proud of what I ended up putting together, even though I am not the best of writers. I was able to use all the information in my notes and include everything from our interview. I hope it came out okay to others. I will most likely be sending copies to Towson and To Ms. Denise and Mr. John. I am so glad that I have finally finished, I was beginning to think it would never get done. Thank you Kenny Alhadeff for your time and great insight. I am so appreciative you spoke to me, not only once, but twice! DAY MADE :):):)

I am jumping into a new play for the rest of my day at the office. Just under and hour until quitting time. I manged to log the last event of the season into Folio today as well! Such a productive day for a Wednesday! Until Tomorrow...
