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.

	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)

	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)

	"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)

	He takes all of this in as she speaks. Commenting a bit on venues here and there, since he goes to a lot of music events, even if he hasn't played them. He goes over what he knows of management in each one, and possible approaches. "You've been very thorough for only a day's work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We'll do some shopping, get you some business attire just this side of 'business inappropriate'." he answers with a grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Minnie grins back. "Great .... anything you want different tonight?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll let you surprise me, at least partly. You're the expert on the dances. The rest... I'll think on it, but I'll try and make sure you're well taken care of." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Great. So what's the meeting for exactly?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dinosaur_jr 2011-10-21 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Finalizing how much we'll be paid for the gig, making sure equipment is up to standards, making sure safety regs are in place, he wants to make sure we're insured and all enough that any trouble from protestors would be covered... fun stuff. Sort of the 'checking to make sure all the wrong-colored M&M's are out of the bowl' meeting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourtruecolors 2011-10-21 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	She listens and nods. "Great." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Personally, I hate these meetings. Pauline is better at them. I have the legalese to do it, so usually tagged along, but I'm usually a lot better at talking with the crews and all, and just being the heavy for this stuff. But, honestly, I'm really trying to let Pauline focus on the new relationship stuff and all, and have to deal with as little as possible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourtruecolors 2011-10-21 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	"That's very sweet, but neither of you should be having to deal with this stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The joys of being an up and comer. Saving money and building up means doing a lot of things yourself. Sure, we have record label offers, especially with the show and all, but frankly, I don't trust them. Waiting for the right indie label, or enough capital to invest in one comes up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourtruecolors 2011-10-22 04:18 am UTC (link)
	"Of course you don't want to get yourself tied to people you don't think you can trust," Minnie agrees. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dinosaur_jr 2011-10-22 04:49 am UTC (link)
	He winks. "I prefer to do the tying up. But seriously... yeah. Eventually, it'd be nice to have someone to handle all of this, make sure its safe, make sure the crew will read Pauline's instructions to the letter, and so on. But that takes someone the clubs will take seriously if they want to book the band, and we're on limited resources." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourtruecolors 2011-10-22 04:54 am UTC (link)
	She smiles. "Yeah. Well, I'm definitely happy to help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I appreciate it. Believe me. Once you get the hang of it, if this arrangement lasts a while, I may see about you taking some of these on yourself if you enjoy it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourtruecolors 2011-10-22 05:01 am UTC (link)
	Minnie nods. "We'll see." And once they get there, Minnie will indeed stand by, polite and nicely dressed, and watch and listen intently to the whole situation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
