World Music Showcase Cancellation

The Homebrew Committee would like to issue a sincere apology in regards to the cancellation of the World Music Showcase. We ran into some scheduling issues and had to cancel the event last minute. We were all really looking forward to the event, but certain circumstances rendered it unworkable. We really appreciate the support we got from a number of performers, which made the cancellation that much more difficult. This, however, will not be viewed as a failure, but as a learning experience. We will continue to work hard to bring you the best possible events featuring student talent. Since we were really devoted to this event idea, we may attempt to give it a second go in the spring. Be on the lookout for that and be sure to check out this semester's remaining Homebrews.

Intern Blogday!

Once again... It is Friday morning. I think this will be a common trend in my blog entries, especially since I have officially decided that Friday = Blogday. So, from the AMP office at 10:17am, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Blogday! The first of many.
Speaking of trends in blogs, Interns. I can guarantee that for the rest of the year, Interns will be a very common theme to my blogs. In fact, it will be my only theme. Especially now, when I finally have an Intern Committee. I promised the rest of Exec Board that my Interns would be faster, stronger, smarter, and more AMPtastic than ever before. I have yet to test all of these traits, but I am feeling pretty confident in my promise. Although, our strength and speed as a committee won’t be officially tested until AMP wide dodge ball, I think other committees should be getting at least a little nervous. The Interns are out for blood, even if they don’t know it yet.
Between Intern meetings, events and mandatory fitness training for dodge ball (just kidding?), my hope is to keep the Intern’s committee continually involved and learning about AMP. The most important thing about being an Intern, in my opinion, is to gain as much knowledge about different types of event planning as possible.
What exactly do Interns do? Heck if I know. And that is the beauty of an Intern committee. Interns are able to explore any type of event planning that they choose, as long as it stays within the confines of the budget. My hope is that I can give the Intern’s enough direction so that events are successful, but enough space so that any major decision is made by them.
Once again, I would like to wish you a Merry Blogday. It is now 10:59am, but I swear, I haven’t only been writing this blog in that time. I would hate for anyone to think that I was that slow of a typer or that slow of a thinker. My time has been consumed by emails, voicemail checking, event planning and just thinking about how wonderful my new Intern committee really is.
