Losing My Mind
Julian had been gone a while. Minnie was going crazy without him. She'd done without much longer before, but every time back with him just made it more tantalizing when they were separated again. So she threw on her knee-high stiletto leather boots and some black-leather-and-leather clothes which....used less leather than the boots and went down to where DJ Whedon was spinning.

It didn't take all that long for parts of the club crowd to part for the little whirling dervish who moved like she either wanted to kill something or fuck something. Which....was pretty much how she was feeling, except it would be completely inappropriate to kill someone. Minnie had energy to burn and generally believed that black lace required a little sweat plastering it to fit right.

While she dances closer to the DJ's box-thing, she doesn't try to go right up and say hi. She needs him to see her. Notice her. Want her, in all her burning frustration.

	"After a show, I think the band will be fine with anything that's affordable and comes in large quantities. And after parties somewhere that isn't too mainstream are a bonus." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Minnie smiles and nods. "Pauline, at least, always seems flexible." Pause. "...Y'know, most people do not expect an attorney's kid and a relatively quiet girl from Maine to end up fronting a punk band." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Minnie grins. "That's where it starts to make more sense. Your Mom okay with all the high-profile stuff you two do lately?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods. "She's been very encouraging, and studying industry law - and taking the lawsuits on trying to keep us from appearing at different venues, from traveling out of state, stupid stuff by conservative groups who picket the shows... yeah. She doesn't like the music or reality TV, but she's all for the cause, and the show." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's cool. My mom was all about having no idea what was going on but being all for it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dinosaur_jr 2011-10-21 05:29 am UTC (link)
	He chuckles. "My mom keeps up with what's going on, she just prefers reading the reviews and backlash to actually listening to punk anything. She prefers Beethoven and Janis Joplin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah. Well, nothing wrong with either of those, certainly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nope, I grew up on Joplin and Hendricks. On which note... before we get down to business, realizing I don't know much about you. That was the first time I think I'd ever heard you mention your mother, or anything else before... well, all this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not much to tell. Mom was old Mr. H's housekeeper. She was great. Passed just a couple of years before he did, early high school. Aneurysm. It was just me and her as far as blood was concerned; never knew my father." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He takes that all in. "We have that last in common. But then I'm sure you knew that. Files and all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah. I read them." Pause. "You mom talk much about it? Stop me if I'm out of line here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dinosaur_jr 2011-10-21 06:45 am UTC (link)
	"Considering last night's activities, I think we're a long way from seeing any kind of line. No, not much, really. She was pretty gung-ho about the single mother thing though. I never really felt any real lack." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourtruecolors 2011-10-21 06:47 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, me neither. In my case, I had the whole staff looking out for me, and Mr. H was really supportive. Paid for the dance lessons, and kept me on even when Mom was gone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, I was getting into every style I could at that point. Someone suggested it; I tried it, had a blast with it, and kept at it." She'll leave off the fact that it was suggested so she might become more useful as well as enjoyable for Julian. That just made it sound weirder than it should. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It probably wouldn't surprise DJ any, but he gets the general idea, anyway. "That makes sense. Good to see the art living on and all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiles. "Thanks. I do my best." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Minnie smiles the smile that long ago replaced what capacity she had to blush. "Great," she says softly. "Okay, we'd better head over if we want to make sure you're more than half an hour early." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dinosaur_jr 2011-10-21 04:05 pm UTC (link)
	He checks the time. "Totally lost track of time... thanks. You want to tell me about what you've picked up going through all the paperwork and locations and stuff on the way?" he asks, getting the check and paying, with a reasonably generous tip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourtruecolors 2011-10-21 06:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course." And she'll go with him, laying out carefully her thoughts on what new venues would want him, what events they could get involved in, and a better way to distribute CDs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
