Anyone affiliated with the Iron Brides Production will understand exactly what I mean after this week is done. I have been trying to do laundry, make dinner, do college homework, and answer emails since early afternoon. ALOT has been happening in the world of Iron Brides today…..
A phone call from a radio station out in the seacoast, The Shark, WOKQ , called asking George if he would like to participate in a morning talk show radio interview on Friday of this week.
Additionally, we also have radio advertising running on 98.7, The Bay,out of Dover. I saw online today that Fosters Daily Democrat, www.fosters.com today published an article about our Auditions Day at the Sheraton Inn in Portsmouth on Friday. Last but not least, a news reporter, Ira Kantor, from the Boston Herald, called asking questions for an article to be in the Herald on Thursday. With his questions, he asked if he could interview bride want-to-bes from the Massachusetts area. I called and emailed 9-10 of them and gave them the information on that. They were excited to hear of that and 7-8 were going to call him back.
I have been answering 2 different phone lines and emails since 10 AM. Today alone, I took 16 calls on one phone, 9 on the other, and 5 of George’s calls. Coupled with this, I worked on +50 emails. Between phone calls and emails, I am strategically trying to schedule the Audition Day for Friday, October 17th, from 2-8. I had 10 online submissions from bridal contestants today alone… With regard to the Audition Day, I’m wanting to space brides, hosts, and entertainers out enough throughout the day to enable all people time for still photos, auditions, interviews, and possibly skits. As of now, I have 26 contestants with scheduled times, and 12 with uncommitted times, but contacted via email. Oh, I’m not complaining….its just difficult to multi-task sometimes.
In addition to catching parts of the NH Film Festival, fortunately being held in Portsmouth, I have scheduled appointments to meet with Betsy, of Bridal Vision and Kathleen Saco, an Insurance Representative on Thursday of this week. Fridays’ appointments consist of meeting with Elizabeth and Natalie, of Madeleine’s Bridal Boutique in Portsmouth, Jay of Portsmouth, and then the Audition day beginning at 2 PM, and continuing until 8 PM.
Saturday….I don’t recall what Saturday may bring….I know that my daughter Julia will be out here from New York.
Sunday, we will be attending the Lakes Region Bridal Show at the Castle In The Clouds, in Moultonboro, NH as vendors auditioning brides for the Iron Brides Productions. Julia will be attending the Bridal Show and brunch that day…who knows, I might be able to sneak off for a little while to visit vendors with Julia….SSHHHH!! Don’t tell George or Jeff, thats all!
So, by days end on Sunday, we all, as Iron Brides Production and Readers, will better understand why it was important to “hang on to your hats!”
