Friday,October 14th

Friday, October 14th- I got to spend less time away from the computer today, and more time doing some cool work. Instead of working with Renata, one of the other assistants borrowed the interns for the day. The other assistant, Jack, had Mara and I go back to the huge (and extremely messy) back closet to take inventory. While it might not sound fun, we weren’t looking for boring things like computers or files. We got to take inventory of autographed items. My first items to take inventory of were the guitars. There were about 6 signed Taylor Swift guitars, 5 signed Hinder guitars, and 4 signed Jack Johnson guitars. Those items weren’t hard to find because they were in huge boxes just sitting in the back, but after we found the guitars we had to take inventory of signed photos and music and other miscellaneous papers. This took a little longer because the paper was everywhere in the closet; in file cabinets, in cardboard boxes, on their own, everywhere. I couldn’t even keep track of how many artists were in that back closet. I saw nearly every signature that belonged to the label. It took us a while to look through everything, but part of the reason was because I was taking my time to read what the artists wrote, or I was just looking in shock.
