OPRAH!!!!!

Oprah and David Letterman came to Ball State (where I work, of course) and the place went wild. David Letterman is a Ball State graduate and does quarterly interviews on campus with famous people in media. I lucked into his Oprah visit being during my tenure. Students waited in line for HOURS in the cold to get the FREE tickets. The tickets were sold out before they were available to non-students so I didn't have any hopes of going and I was BUMMED. (Only students could get in with student tickets...they ended up selling them to each other for over $300 in some cases!!!) You can imagine my surprise when Monday afternoon my BIG, BIG boss called me into his office to thank me for all of my hard work and gave me a 12th row seat's ticket. I was JAZZED! I've always been fascinated by Oprah and her marketing power so seeing her in person was just awesome.
