I started my first day off in the wrong parking area.

I didn’t know, of course. I was waiting to meet my new boss, Casey Wells, and I even parked early – 8:50 a.m. Then 8:50 turned to 9, 9 turned to 9:05, and 9:05 turned to “oh, no.”

Finally, at 9:06, Casey, our executive director here at Erie Events, found me and motioned for me. “We’re over here!”

I’d like to think my first morning represents what I’ve seen so far at my first week at Erie Events: there’s a whole lot going on and plenty of different options.

If you’re at Erie Insurance Arena, perhaps you’re here for an Otters game. Or a Bayhawks game. A concert, perhaps. Or, yes, maybe even a graduation.

If you’re at the Warner Theatre, you might be seeing a musical. A comedian. Or, maybe, “A Chorus Line,” which comes to the Warner on March 1 (tickets on sale now!)

Come to the Bayfront Convention Center and you might be there for a meeting, a dance, a luncheon, or more.

And, of course, if you’re visiting us at UPMC Park, chances are you’re seeing our trusty Erie SeaWolves.

No wonder we say ‘it’s all right here.’

There’s so much to do entertainment-wise here in Erie, and part of my job is to make you aware of just how many options we really have. You’ll find me all over – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit – and I’ll always take suggestions.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us on our Social Media platforms or email me at bboyd@erieevents.com…just don’t ask me about parking!
