This one is going to be short and sweet kids. I am one tired intern and the Festival doesn't even start until tomorrow! haha....well the music doesn't start until tomorrow.
i was out on site all day today with the rest of the MMMF crew putting the finishing touches on the field and everything that goes in it. And let me tell you - it looks AWESOME.
be excited...be very excited. I'm hoping to get heaps of pictures and videos this weekend so I'll hopefully be able to post some behind the scenes stuff from this weekend next week.
anyway, I'm going to hit the hay so i can get up and be at the field bright and early tomorrow. so i hope you all have your tickets, tents and bags packed and will also be out bright and early for a weekend of fun. If you don't yet....no worries, you've got a few hours left =)
See you out there!!!!!!

2 Days and Counting
Herrrrro,
Today's been just silly thus far. Even with being so close to the festival everyone is in such happy and surprisingly cheery moods! Whew J
I was preparing to tell of our day so far and realized I had not yet introduced the rest of the team:
Meet LS, otherwise known as Merchgirl. She likes Hawaii, running and her office always smells good. She doesn’t like greasy looking breakfast restaurants or when we wear jeans to work.
Enter MR – THE designer. She is half the size of the rest of us, loves greasy looking breakfast restaurants and has been known to wear jeans to work…ok only once…haha. She doesn’t like To-Do lists or when people steal her food without asking.
Then we have EC. She likes fresh granola cereal from THE designer’s desk and has a sweet tooth. EC doesn’t like when her son puts fake tattoos on her baby daughter’s leg without telling her or when she people use the paper cutter for long periods of time when she’s trying to do something.
And to round out our little marketing team we have KL. KL also has a good smelling office, likes listening to Christmas music for months at a time and doesn’t like sitting down for more than 15 minutes at a time.
So there’s the team. Now you know.
Anyway me, MC, Merchgirl and THE designer went to lunch and made a pit stop at Kmart to pick up some things for this weekend. MC and I didn’t have to get anything so instead we spent our time buying fake tattoos and I learned that MC is a master at the “claw for stuffed animals” game. Seriously, she got two animals on the first 2 tries. I’ve never seen anything like it, it was amazing.
This morning H was on Good Morning Arizona with Peppermint James (playing on Saturday afternoon) which was awesome. She (H) has been out onsite at Westworld since Monday overseeing the creation from polo grounds to the Festival. I get to go out there on Thursday and I’m excited about it. Merchgirl is headed out tomorrow so maybe I’ll see if she can get some pictures mid-set up that I can post later. I’ve heard it is really impressive to watch the entire set up.
Now I’m babbling. So I’m going to go do something productive...like take pictures of our billboards around the Valley (have you seen them around? Or check out the back of a city bus next time you see one, maybe we’ll be on it!).

...almost a week away.
I love this picture. The Festival at night might be my favorite…
Robert Randolph and the Family Bands’ The March is running through my head right now due to the mood that’s buzzing around this office. After making my way to my desk this morning I come to find an AZ Weekly open to our sweet 2 page spread. Then to turn to the front cover and see the even more sweet familiar MMMF design on the entire thing. THEN H completely depleted the supply of New Times at the local Oreganos and brought me one with our 12 page insert sticking out over the top of the rather shocking green hand flipping the bird. Ha. All of that aside it looks great and if you haven’t already found a copy of either and framed it, go ahead and stop by a Zia records…an Oreganos (although not the one on Shea because H took all of theirs)…or really anywhere you see a corner in Tempe or Scottsdale. I swear I see New Times paper holders in the most random places in this town. Whatever works though right because EVERYONE should get a copy this week!
Ok that rant…or rave rather is over…on to the next.
According to the MMMF website we only have 8 days left until gates open and in flood thousands of happy Festival-going peeps. Well lets be honest…it’s a little early in the day for the thousands expected to rouse themselves up to venture out in the sunshine. But one can hope right? One thing I know for sure is the entire MMMF crew will be out there with bells on. wooh…
NEXT UP: this weekend.
The Brown Foreman crew (you know, those people who make it possible for us to get our hands on such deliciousness as Sierra Nevada , Finlandia Vodka and Jack Daniels) is going to be doing a little bit of a bar crawl throughout Tempe to help promote the MMMF…this is the schedule that has been passed on to me:
Friday Night
8-8:45 Doc & Eddy’s
9-9:30 Tavern
9:45-10:30 Library
10:30-11:15 The Loft
11:15-11:45 Mill Cue Club
11:45-12:15 Zuma
12:30-1 Casey Moore;s
Saturday Night
7-8 CK’s
8-9 Jilly’s
9-10 Teakwood’s
10-11 Iguana Mack’s
Perhaps I’ll try to get a few of my trusty Street Teamers to head out and join up with the crawl. So come out and look for us!! We’ll be in those blue shirts you saw earlier =)
ALSO: Tuesday April 22nd
Come out to the Zuma Bar & Lounge on Tuesday night for some sweet Red Bull and Sierra Nevada drink deals and live music from Steve Reynold’s Band and Peppermint James!! Music starts at 10pm so come out for ticket giveaways and other fun stuff. The New Times Street Team will be there too, so come and pick up some goodies and cheap drinks and maybe get your picture on their website! Really though, it’s going to be fun.

PS:
Last weekend we went out to the Great Arizona Picnic and Southwest Beer Festival and had a ball. Hopefully you saw us there and hopefully we gave you a little something to remember us by. And if you didn’t see us, and we didn’t give you something. We suck, so come out this weekend and find us and demand some MMMF goodness.
Allrighty…time for me to go shopping (hehe…yet another lovely perk of the internship)
Get excited!!

2 weeks and counting...
Aye Yie Yie is it Thursday already?? So I was making some calls to some potential vendors for our marketplace earlier today and a few asked when the event was…I said about 2 weeks. Yikes.
This explains why I’ve not updated this since….way too long ago.
But exciting times are up ahead.
1: The festival is 15 days away.
2: The Street Team is heading out to the Great Arizona Picnic and the Southwest Festival of Beers at the Scottsdale Culinary Festival on Saturday. The picnic starts at 10am and the beer fest starts at noon. So we’ll be out there at noon. (ok, can I just say for the third time in the duration of this blog – what a lucky intern am I??) Haha but come on…it goes until 10 at night, so no need to be out there for 12 full hours right??
3: On Tuesday the 22nd there’s going to be a “Pre MMMF Concert Jam” at the Zuma Grill on Mill with ticket giveaways, drink deals and live performances by Peppermint James and the Steve Reynolds Band.
4: Did I mention the Festival is 2 weeks away? Because it is.
Anyway. I’m on my way out of the office for the day but wanted to share with you all 2 big things:
1. The video above. That video was made possible by our handy dandy new IFlip camera and the editing skillz of Miss MC….don’t we look like we’re having fun? If you come hang out with us at the event this weekend I’m guaranteeing this level of fun…nay…even more fun will be had.
2. The Street Team will be out at Great Arizona Picnic this Saturday from about noon until we get too sunburned and too full from the tasting that we need to retire.
Ok enough with my numbers.
I’m off…
