True Blood is one of my favorite shows of all time. The only problem is that when I moved into my dorm I was left without access to my precious Sookie Stackhouse. So it came naturally to me that one of our events could be to show the True Blood season finale. When I proposed the idea to all the managers during training, everyone seemed to like the idea. Afterward the weeks leading up to the event I was very excited. We had an awesome sign advertising the event right in front of the Zone.
The finale was being showed late on Sunday night, which forced the Zone to stay open later. I was really nervous because I wanted the night to go well. An hour before the show started I literally went all over Livingston, including the library, asking people if they liked True Blood. I was trying to intice them to come to the event somehow. Not many people responded in the affirmative, although they said it seemed to be a cool type of event. i was really stressing because I wasn't to sure how many people would show up. When I went back to the Zone I saw that we had a fair amount of people there, so my worrying decreased a little.
Eventually more and more people came through the door and I was elated! People were excited and wanted to try our True Blood float. There was a point where me and Lisa were lining up glasses because people just kept ording the floats. Once the show started the Zone was packed and I believe every seat was filled. There were a bunch of people watching on the Video Wall as well as the Alcove TV. the whole time people where laughing, cheering and gasping at the screen like they were in a movie theatre. It was amazing!!! The only downside was that it was so busy at the front counter that I missed most of the show =(. But that was cool with me because I was just happy that the event went so well.
