The guys from Buying Time arrive on the same flight, and my roadie Jim goes to pick them up. They’re pumped because evidently the recording sessions for the new album just cooked, and they can’t wait to hear it once it’s mixed, and they’re really nervous about the feedback that they’re expecting from Crass.

“Hey, man, has anyone contacted Roxy yet?” Stix asks.

“No, man, but she called over to Frank this morning.” I explain. “She got a flight out and he’s going to pick her up.” I’ve got a bunch of other roadies on the task of decorating one of the conference rooms in this place, so we can put together a little thing for Roxy. We’re just wrapping up sound checks, so we’re fucking around on the stage.

“Hey, we should do our own little music festival, with just us three bands.” Stix suggests.

“Yeah, sure, we can talk to Ron and Greg and see what they think of that. But it can’t be until the tour is over.” I remind. “They’re already up our asses for insisting on you guys touring with us.”

“Yeah. That’s a load of bullshit if you ask me.” Cruz says. “Just a bunch of sales execs pushing their weight around.”

“I agree, but it is what it is, and none of us can afford to piss anyone off.” I add.

Slick looks at his watch. “Shit. We ought to get up to that conference room. Frank said he’d be back at three o’clock, and it’s already two fourty-five.”

We head up to the conference room and find all of our roadies and some of our security guys helping put the decorations up. We lend a hand for a few minutes, and then kick them out, so that Roxy isn’t too overwhelmed. We don’t want it to come off as a party scene, with like a zillion people; just us three bands and that’s it. When we finally hear Frank and Roxy come in, the expression on her face is priceless. Roxy is a sweet girl on the inside. It just doesn’t come out unless she feels really comfortable in her own skin.

“What did you guys do?” she asks, covering her reddened face. She’s adorable. We make eye contact, and I can’t stop looking at her after that. I try to make my way over to give her a hug, but she’s surrounded by the people who love her. The boys from Buying Time are all over her, giving her hugs. “I tried getting in touch with you to get you to come out here.” she explains. “I figured you just jumped ship, scared shitless for what’s going to come of this new album.”

Stix smiles. “Na, we got the call, and we hopped on a plane, man. We’ve got a couple of days to kill, so we might as well make the best of them.”

Cruz puts his arm around her. “We missed the fuck out of you when you were in rehab. I didn’t want to tell you that while we were recording, man, I was afraid it would ruin the vibe.
