| Is it too late for an intro to my Flicker experience? Maybe, but here we go. Internship experiences can be good or bad... You could end up mailing 1000's of packages, getting coffee, and picking up the dry cleaning for very uncool people... OR you could walk into a chandelier / black light-lit office with poster covered walls, loud music, and AWESOME people. Luckily, I am in the latter half. Okay... there is not always loud music, but it sounds like a place you want to be right? I have been here for over a month and it has been amazing mainly because everyone at Flicker rocks. At first it was a little crazy. For example, the pre-release cd preparation pressure...which can be translated into Ryan and I meticulously cutting paper and positioning labels perfectly onto cds...I promise it was much more serious than you will ever imagine possible...really. These days my fellow intern and I are busy with our myspace market research projects (you know - stalking and taking notes), updating website info and The After Lunch 90's Music Minute. Anyone know the top song of the 90's? FYI: I love Until June. Also, lots of exciting new things are going on right now with Fireflight so keep watching out for updates! Their new album is SO GOOD...Sure, we mail the occasional package, but I have to admit...I think I love it. | | |
| A little update to the animal kingdom situation.... This afternoon Carol the property manager sent out an email to the company telling everyone to remove all the food from their offices, as mouse traps are going to be set up around the building. A short time later, we were all relieved when the CEO sent out a response email stating that there is no need for anyone to worry; the snake will probably catch the mouse soon. For those who don't know, there were (possibly still are?) two snakes loose in the building recently. Lucky for us, everyone here has a great sense of humor so the situation has actually become quite entertaining. I just have to remember to watch where I sit...and where I put my feet... -Ryan | | |
| So we work in a swanky office building in the swanky part of town – all SUVs and stay-at-home moms who play tennis and “have lunch” all day. But today our friend Kristol found mouse droppings in her cubical. So Mario set a trap and asked her to alert him if she saw any wagging tales under her feet. And recently Mario had to put snake repellant outside all the entrances because there are SNAKES. IN. THE. BUILDING. You should also know that the Flicker compound is located under the stairs on one side and the elevator control room on the other with no windows to the outside. It’s a dark, cool cavern full of dark corners and dark darkness. If there was ever a place for a snake/mouse/scary spider to hide out – it would be Flicker. I am now officially freaked out.

| So today is the beginning of my third week interning at Flicker. Everyone here is really cool, and I feel like I'm getting to know my way around. There was a lot of activity going on around here during my first two weeks...I got to meet Eleventyseven and Fireflight on my first day! A couple days later I also got to meet Wavorly and Flatfoot 56, which was sweet. At the end of that week, there was a party for Provident to celebrate high album sales for the band Casting Crowns...the Vice President of Sales had said he would get his head shaved if the album sold more than a certain number, so we got to watch that too! Last Wednesday, there was an artist showcase at the Global Cafe in downtown Nashville that Fireflight was a part of, so Zach, Josh and I spent most of the day setting up for that. I also went out to lunch last week with Josh and Zach to this place called Blue Coast Burrito...it was definitely the best Mexican food I've ever had. Well I guess that's all for now...I hope the next few weeks will continue to be as exciting! -Ryan | | |
