Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be loading up a gun as part of my job. Boy did that all change this summer when Ravinia got a new air gun to shoot out free t-shirts into the pavilion. Guess who gets to shoot it. Me! Me! Now when I tell people that I wear a lot of different hats at work, they will understand that I really mean it. This hat comes with sequins, flashing lights and an awesome tank of power.
I had no idea what the heck I was doing at first. I was just concentrating on steering clear of any lights or equipment above the crowd. That sounds a lot easier than it really is. Each time it gets a little more comfortable. I'm even starting to have fun! It's easy to get into it when you have a crowd full of screaming people and this incredible energy. The music is playing, the people are waving and yelling and the shirts are flying. It's a total blast! (Pun intended.)
You can catch a t-shirt at select concerts in the pavilion. Be sure you wave your hands so I can see you and it never hurts to do a dance for a t-shirt.
