Home Opener

Last week the internship went into high gear as we prepared for our home opener against the New Mexico Stars. The week was crazy altogether and didn't slow down as the game got closer. Friday and Saturday were the busiest days of the week because of the rush to get tickets for Saturday's game. I also found out Friday that I would be calling the game for our internet radio for users listening live. When Saturday rolled around I got to the Venom offices at 2 p.m. and basically asked what I could do to help.I was assigned to go with Toby, the owner's husband, and Lance, our corporate sales associate, to go to the Civic Center and help set up the different props around the concourse to get ready for game day. Around the same time Toby also showed me how the radio booth worked. After getting setup kickoff was at 7:05, and it was a great game but the Amarillo Venom pulled through and won. After cleaning up and taking our supplies back to the office it was time to head home. Some of my coworkers, my wife, Tyler with Prairie, and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings for post-game dinner. I also wrote the game recap for our website. Here is the link: http://govenom.com/component/content/article/56-news/494-amarillo-venom-thump-new-mexico-stars-62-34.html
