My First Day At Wizard Studios

I know you guys have all been wondering what I have been doing at Wizard studios well today I finaly have time today to write about it.

My first day at internship was Friday May 24. I walked into the warehouse at 9 am Caryn walked in, she gave me and Linda ( my fellow intern) a tour right away.

The warehouse us a work in progress but one that when it's done is going to be great. There is an office space and my boss's office that is under construction at the moment. Down the stairs is split into three sections. A large sound stage, warehouse space, kitchen, meeting room, and lounge. I hope that I will be here long enough to see the project completed.

My first job was to find a black panel van in Houston, TX. You would think that would be easy right call a rental company and get a rental car. It is not easy though the standard for renting vans is white. Also if you think about it if you were living in Texas would you want a black van.

This van is for a large marketing campian for Kanye West. He wanted to premire his new music video (new slaves) on buildings all over the world. Our job is to cordinate the whole campain. We scout the locations then send out people to project this video. A few cities were not receptive to Kanye's message. Cities would try to stop the projections. Here is the video.

Salute to our Soldiers

The event today was small but very interesting. I got there around 7:30 there wasn't much to do. The event was on the Intrepid Air and Space Museum. It was a great experiance to see all the veterans and service men and women there to honor them. After the short ceremony I explored the museum. The only thing that I was disappointed about was that the space shuttle wasn't open.

I was lucky to also to be able to take the short bus ride to Brandon's house and have a home cooked meal with friends. I got to make some new friends Meg and Joey. Billy , I didn't forget you it was great to see you everyone and get away from Brooklyn for the afternoon.

The First Event

Today is my first day at an event I am mostly scared I am getting lost. I have been reading about Kanye west and the responses on twitter. some of them are interesting. Some of them are interesting. some people think that Kanye is actually going to be at the locations. For some police are getting a whiff of what is going to happen and canceling it. I think that means that we have to get better at not telling them where we are going to be. ut if they catch out guys we will have to get them bailed out of jail i think we should let Kanye's people deal with that.

My Odd but Great Apartment

 When I was looking for apartments in brooklyn the first place I looked was craig's list and I have found a great place in Bed-Stuy. the neighborhood is nice other than the fact that I am one of few white crayons in a Box full of dark ones. There are some advantages to being out of place. the security guards and police that are around here all notice me and if suddenly I wasn't there anymore I think they would wonder "where did the red hed white green go?". Then there is my apartment surrounded by a church parking lot and the old stone building. When you walk in the first thing you notice when you open the door is that you turn the knob to the right. That might not seem odd but think back to every time you opened a door you opened it to the left and all the doors in the apartment are that way even the bathroom. Then there is the sink in the bathroom the knob that is hot is marked with a "C" and the knob that is cold is marked with a "H". Odd right?
More updates on my projects at Wizard Studios and some of the really cool things we are doing there.

UPDATE: I have realized recently that the door to my room is upside down.

My First Day out and about

 My mom was here to drop me off and today we decided to make a trial run to my internship location. It didn't go just as planned. Started off great found the subway and thats where the good part of my day ended. we got on the train going in the wrong direction then getting in the right direction we get to where the GPS said the office was it was a waste management facility. Not where we supposed to be and after going around and around the blocks I check the website and saw that the address i though i was going to was the wrong address. After walking around all of the warehouse part of Brooklyn we finally found the right address then the ordeal of going back to my apartment. this was much easier than getting there. In-between the subway stop at the office I lost my one month unlimited metro card. O great then my mom gets suck in traffic and at night. As the day comes to a close it has been getting better. I got food and found out I got sunburn on my shoulders and can only hope this summer is going to get better. Tomorrow is my first day at Wizard Studios and the start of a new chapter in my life.
