I'm glad that stuff finally feels like it's getting back to sort-of normal around here.

No blackouts or kidnappings or weird murders for awhile now, okay? I mean it. I've had it with all of that.

I've got better news for everybody- booking's finally all solid for the month, so Merlotte's Official March Calendar will be hitting the bar soon as I can

"Technicolor Kittens"?

Cute girls with hair a million different colors- y'know, like Rainbow Dash? But not ponies, obviously, all girls. They're really good. Alternative Punk. They came in yesterday before we opened. You can't miss them.

[atrumcanis]

Punk doesn't need any alternatives. Where did you drag up some of these?

[madeinoblivion]

Er...SPU? Some people I met at 24, who gave me their number for gigs a long time ago? People I've heard are good?

[atrumcanis]

Heard from where.

[madeinoblivion]

People in the business?

[atrumcanis]

Some of 'em seem a bit questionable, that's all. I mean, yeah, all right, cute birds with colourful hair, I could come around to being able to appreciate that and all, despite any bastardisation of punk--but what the hell is a "White Noise Experience", and do I want to have one?

[madeinoblivion]

Yes, yes you do. Electronica. They go around sample from...whatever, right before they go on- people talking, bar glasses being slammed down, whatever- all these little sounds, and then they put in pitch and mix them up into music right there.

And the other guy does lazerlights. It's really cool.

They played at Twins last November, and I had to practically beg them to play here- but they only do neutral clubs, and they approve that Sam kicked himself out of AGI, so they said they'd give Merlotte's a one night run.

[atrumcanis]

That doesn't much sound much like music, actually, that sounds like a load of electronic noise. Sam let you choose all of this on your own, did he?

[madeinoblivion]

So you think.

...Yeah. He made me entertainment director.

[atrumcanis]

Most anyone would agree, really.

But--entertainment director, you don't say! Did you submit a copy of this calendar to him, or does he trust you?

[madeinoblivion]

He trusts me. We already went over the themes last week, though, when he told me to find bands for Mardi Gras coming up.

[atrumcanis]

Right. Well, bully for him, then, at least he has one faithful sidekick. If there's bands playing, does that mean that you're off for the night?

[madeinoblivion]

No, it means I gotta help set them up and sound check and break down, and run the sound and light board if they need the hand.

[atrumcanis]

Oh, so you'll be in on your little birthday, eh? In a toga?

[madeinoblivion]

Yeah. I will.
