You little ripper! I'm volunteering at the National Folk Festival and I seem to have landed myself one of the best jobs. It's going to be a pretty hard slog because it's stage managing and I have to work my bottom off making sure performers/sound crew/audience are all happy and everything is neat, tidy and organised but I am SSSOOOO excited.
I get in for free which is a huge bonus because I'm a bit of a thrifty person and it's quite expensive ($40 for an evening, $90 for the day ...). I get an access all areas pass so I can get into whatever and wherever and I get to park on the grounds. I also have a job that means I get to see acts while I work (which wouldn't happen if I was selling tickets or something like that). The stage managers get a special camping spot so that we don't have to slum it with all the other volunteers and there is an added bonus which I'm apparently not allowed to talk about because only stage managers get them and they don't want us bragging about it to the other volunteers.
Anyway, did I mention I'm SSSOOOO excited????
