Cool perks

Ok, so my back hurts from my chair/desk combination in my office, but one of the cool perks about working here in this office is the chance to meet cool people like the founder of Tooth and Nail Records. He was meeting with my boss today. I'm also the front receptionist, and had the wonderful chance to meet this cool guy (so young, so "emo" looking!).

If you don't know, my boss not only runs an SAP consulting firm (his main source of income), but he also founded the Revelation Generation music festival, which will be going into it's 5th year this Labor Day weekend. http://revelationgeneration.org/

I had the opportunity and the privilege to be a part of the first year RevGen started. I was one of the main coordinators the first year (and found that I didn't have the years of administrative skills I really should have had!) In the first year (2005), we had about 4,000 in attendance, and RevGen 2008 we had about 20,000 in attendance. That's totally a God thing for a new venue that's only been going on for 4 years!!

As backstage hospitality coordinator, I have had the privilege of meeting some really great bands and speakers. Can I drop a few names? I really want to, just because it's fun and I'm so thankful for the cool opportunity. The list includes: Skillet, Barlow Girl, Newsboys, Paul Coleman, Newsboys, Relient K, The Afters, KJ-52, MxPx, Brian Littrell (of the Backstreet Boys), the Katinas, Building 429, Jars of Clay, and Stephen Baldwin who was one of our guest speakers, and maybe some more that I just can't think of off the top of my head...

So, it's an awesome experience to be a part of. I never thought I'd ever step into something so cool and this big when I first moved to NJ. It definitely gives me cool stories to tell someday. :)
