After
the show, the A&R guy from the label (Sue
doesn't want to mention it by name) took us out for
some food. We rode in a limo over to Forent, this
place that's open 24 hours.
At Florent, people were looking at us like maybe we
were supposed to be famous or something. We ate
good food and drank a lot of wine.
Hey, I could get used to this.
That's when the other shoe dropped. Sue and I were
in the bethroom together (no, we were not doing
coke!) and she took a deep breath and told me.

"You were amazing,"
she said "Fantastic. I was really proud of
you."
"Thanks," I said.
"But Label Dick is acting weird," she told me.
"He's been trying to get us to play with this other
bass player. We're fighting him but I don't know if
we'll win."
"It's your band", I said, "not his."
"Yeah," she said, "but it's his label and he can
always not sign us. I'll do the best I can."
