this past summer, i had an internship at the phoenix, a media communications company in boston that owns the radio station fnx, the newspaper the phoenix, and the magazine stuff. it's a pretty cool company, focusing on night life and entertainment and music and boston which is prety cool. for my internship, at one point i got to work at the door letting people in to one of these parties that they hold sometime (at trendy hotels, with famous dj's, and free food and drinks). normally they have people called "street team" members do it. so, now that i'm home this fall, in addition to my new internship that i've gotten, i decided to also be an actual street team member.
anyways, worked my first "event" this past thursday. i basically had to wear a tee-shirt and a hat with the client's name (metro pcs) and hand out the phoenix newspaper to people getting off the train at south station, along with another street team member. it actually turned out to be quite fun! it was so crazy because obviously all these people are in bad moods, on their way to work and stressed out, and i was just like prancing around with a smile saying "good morning, would you like a phoenix?!" and when people didn't take one i just said, "have a nice day!" i don't know why, there was just something fun about being so cheerful when everyone else was so not cheerful. one lady also said, "i'll take a paper from the beautiful phoenix lady" haha.
we had to take pics of ourselves to prove to the client we actually did it, so thought i'd post them for kicks:
