Cause that's what we're all here for. To excite you.

I'm talking about business. Music. I just sat through three and a half hours of shitty demo tapes.

Oh, then I agree with you. Everything sounds the same these days. And honestly, if the friggin New Kids on the Block are making a comeback, I don't hold much hope for the future of the music industry.

Yeah.. well that's just people trying to hold onto their youth.

Anyway,

I just don't see how in that period of time, I didn't find one thing that made me go. "Wow" or even want to give it a second listen. I mean... It's fucking frustrating.

You don't sing or have a band or something do you? Because at this point I might as well just let you hand me your demo tape and give it a listen.

Yeah well, they need to let it go, cause it's freaking me out. Those guys are way too old to be dancing around the way they are.

The really sad part is, I can believe it.

Uh, no. I did Hairspray in high school:

That was as far as my singing career ever went.

Hey, not bad! Maybe you should try to do something with your voice. It's better than half the people out there anymore. Just a suggestion.

Really? I don't know...maybe. Not like I have anything else going.

Sure. And hey, you're pretty too. So, you've got that going for you.

Laughs.

You're professional opinion? Well...thank you.

Yep. That's my professional opinion. Let me know if you get anything going, I'd love to take a listen. I'm Josh by the way. *offers hand*

Sure thing. Thanks for the advice.

Takes his hand, smiling.

Nice to meet you, Josh. I'm Grace.

Not a problem.

Grace, nice. Hey, listen, what I'm gonna do, is I'm gonna give you my number, and you can call me anytime alright?

*Pulls out a card and hands it to her.*

Takes his card, looking at it for a moment before slipping it in her pocket.

Sure thing, and thanks again.

Try and lick your elbow.

Nah, that's actually been done before by some double jointed people, so now it's not nearly as cool.

I'm talking about music anyway.

Now that I did not know, I bet it was pretty interesting.

Well I can't help you, I can't sing, though I am all about a band called Phoenix.

YouTube it.

Not many people can apparently. Well if you've heard of them, I'm sure they already have a label. So, that doesn't help me much. But thanks.

Are you looking for new acts, are you a producer?

I run a record label and recording studio yeah. Looking for new talent.

What kind of new talent? I mean any specific music genre?

My label usually focuses on the punk.. pop punk type of music.

Well since I am in south butt fuck don't know how much of that I'll run into, but if I do, I'll let you know.

Hey thanks. I appreciate it. My name's Josh Vaughn. I run out of New York City.

Nice to meet you Josh Vaughn, I'm Alice Ayres, I use to be from New York.

Cool to meet you Alice. Look me up sometime if you're ever back in town huh?

If I ever get back there, sure. If you are ever wandering around the South west look me up.

I will definitely do that.

I only respond to smoke signals, just a heads up.

Oh. Well that makes it way harder.

*Laughs.* What, they didn't teach you how to do that in school?

If they did, I slept through that class.

And now it's coming back to haunt you. *Shakes head*

I guess. Kinda like Home-Ec.

But you could actually learn stuff in home-ec.

Debatable.

Bullshit, that tote bag was baller, and now I know how to make scrambled eggs.
