I feel so lucky that when I go to work, I get to sit around a conference table with an awesome group of other interns, along with Spoon co-founders Sarah and Mackenzie, and have the opportunity to discuss any upcoming Spoon development--whether it is one of the pitches from a remote writer, photograph choices for an article, speakers for an upcoming event or how to organize a new "abroad" section of the website, all of us can add our own input or ideas in such an open environment. Basically, there are good vibes, which are only enhanced, at the Alley NYC space, by all of the other interns working next to us on other start-ups.
Recently, we worked to plan the "Taste Talks" event next Tuesday in D.C. by scouting out potential speakers, as well as media outlets for promoting the event. Additionally, we worked together to generate a survey in order to gather information for a new section of the website that will be a guide, detailing the best places to eat and drink while studying abroad. As editorial interns, of course, we are also always working individually to go through the submissions from remote writers (and also write our own articles). In order to create a fun way to introduce ourselves to the Spoon community, we also filmed short introductions yesterday...which should prove quite entertaining once they are edited by the lovely video intern Mira.
What's most exciting though is that yesterday, we also found out that Mackenzie and Sarah were able to secure an airbnb room in D.C. as well as a Zipcar, so that all of the interns can go to D.C. next Tuesday to attend "Taste Talks" (and actually experience the event we have so thoroughly promoted)!
From the Ultimate Dining Hall Hacks book launch on Monday to the Taste Talks event next week to endless office snacking, I can only say one thing: so happy about intern perks (read: free food).
