Yep, I'm Getting Old

For a few months now, I've been working for a new music magazine. It has been mostly fun so far and I'm really enjoying the challenge of growing another business. Officially, I'm VP of Business Development, which means I'm in charge of generating revenue, i.e. making money.

A big part of my job is working companies for advertising revenue and working retail to get our product into stores. So there is a lot of relationship building and schmoozing involved. This past weekend, Universal Records invited us as their guests to The Rock On The Range Festival, which was taking place here in town. It was a two day festival featuring the Stone Temple Pilots reunion as well as bands like Kid Rock, Three Doors Down, Disturbed, etc. A lot of big name acts.

Here's how I know I'm getting old. Despite the fact that these tickets were selling for over $150 and we had full VIP treatment, press access, catering, etc., I still did everything in my power to avoid having to hang out at a rock concert all weekend. I'm so old. Why does it have to be so loud? Haha.
