Today we did our usual office stuff, calling winners and entering them into the database, doing the Animal Friends segment, writing posts. But we stayed longer today to do some work at the U2 concert. After our office stuff, we were sent out to take pictures around Pittsburgh to look summery and to make some content for promoting the 92 Days of Summer events we have going on. One of these events is having live music in Market Square from 12-1. We walked around and posed some beach objects next to some iconic Pittsburgh buildings; bridges, the Point, and PNC Park. After this we grabbed a quick meal and headed back to the office. When we got back to the office, we almost immediately left to go to the U2 concert. When we got to Heinz field, we carried out the Bob tent, backdrop, and table, in addition to our social media poster, some radio equipment, and some made-at-the-office cutout faces of Bono and The Edge. We set up the equipment and had a problem with getting the station to connect the radio, so we used our mobile app and kept a phone charging. We weren’t allowed to do giveaways so we just tried to have people hold up the Bono and Edge cutout faces and stand in front of the Bob banner. After a few hours of this we packed up the van with our equipment and went home!

Today, we had our concert series in Market Square. Zack, another guy who works in the promotions office, met the other interns and I at Market Square. We set up the Q tent, a giveaway for Matchbox Twenty tickets, and a plinko game for DVDs. We began that an hour before the performers started, so we were able to get some people interested before the event started. The artists came, and they began setting up soon after we finished. They were a husband and wife pair and they primarily did covers but with a folk sound. I took some photos while they were on for the social media and website for Q, since this was a Q event. I helped out a bit more at the tent and then the artist was finished so we packed up and finished the day!
