well remember when i said i was gonna see if i could get any of those shops in the down to rent to me? i got one. think it could really work for that music store idea, if i can get legs under it. still wanna help?
oh, dude! that's awesome. of course i do. wherever you need me. have some experience working counters, but if you just want me to sit in the back and package the coke you'll almost certainly be selling on the side, i'm down for that too. just let me listen to music while i work and i'm flexible.
nah, no music in the shop. gotta be completely quiet at all times
but yeah i'd like that. sam'll do some stock work, you get front desk and back room privleges we gotta spend like a week making mixed tapes out of what i already got, too
why are you giving me so much shit i'm tired of it
not really. more interesting to me to let people get whatever they want so i can judge them in private. talk shit about them on the network. etc. plus, if somebody with actual, legitimate taste comes in, it'll mean more when they buy the good shit. wouldn't want someone buying my favorite albums just because it's the only thing on the shelves. especially if they leave, get home and fail to appreciate them
if you want to get facefucked, just ask, honestly.
fine with me. i don't really use cds, so. couldn't make a mixtape on them if i tried. mix... disc? no, wait. what do you call it? burning a cd? whatever. above my pay grade. you're not shelling out enough for me to take a tech class.
i kinda wish the home internet was here, i could show u a lot of cool shit but yeah, they're not my thing either. dont get me started on "thumb drives"
i figure we could get a few vhs tapes somehow too everyone's porn is digital these days missing out on the quality of grainy tape
i miss concerts. we had one here, a while back. loved it. but. it's not the same. never the same. i want to see my bands on stage. i wish we had tapes of that. videos of that. something. somehow. idk.
don't forget magazines. we can have a room in the back. seedy bookshelves, walk in rooms with holes in the walls. really hold onto the aesthetic of living with sexual shame in the 1980s.
so ur saying we need a seedy backroom for guests to get their meat slapping on i'm kinda into that. we need some poor loser to clean it though i'm saying not it
i was joking, but. honestly? feels like the only way we can stay afloat in a city like this. people aren't going to be interested in coming if there's not some kind of option to get your rocks off.
anyway, sam can clean it got those wings for a reason, right? built-in mops. just has to lay down, make a couple of jizz angels, and boom. all clean.
lets see what the space lends us creatively first, i guess gonna need to work on it a bit. wanna walk around the down with me this weekend? see what we can steal that isnt nailed down
[ immediate tension. the time for jokes is over. ]
i mean, we can. i know you like that kind of thing. and i do too. still don't know how to do it, though. like... what do you want? fuckin flowers or some shit?
doesn't need to be anything big just time in together playing boardgames and eating take out or something doing coke off the cash register at work whatever works
