CobaltSky: Afternoon

AllieL86: Hey Gary my love <3 What's up?

CobaltSky: Keeping it easy like always

CobaltSky: I'm taking a break from practice, thought I'd check in

AllieL86: So considerate. It's why I put up with you :)

AllieL86: Everything's fine here. You?

CobaltSky: Little trouble with the venue but Stu is taking care of it

CobaltSky: It's always something, you know. Harder to set this up than someome's garage

AllieL86: Lots better, though

CobaltSky: No question about that!

CobaltSky: You're still coming next week?

AllieL86: Yeah, everything's still good with Dad

AllieL86: But there's a catch

CobaltSky: What?

AllieL86: Dad's making me bring someone along

CobaltSky: Jason?

AllieL86: Worse. My new stepbrother Roderick

AllieL86: Dad says he needs to get out of the house before school starts

CobaltSky: That's cool. One more person at the show, makes us look good.

CobaltSky: So what kind of music is he into?

AllieL86: You don't know him, Roderick is so weird

AllieL86: He's so uncomfortable, I'll prolly have to keep an eye on him too

CobaltSky: Don't be unfair love, he's new here

AllieL86: Its not that, he's just a really weird kid

CobaltSky: I'll introduce him to some people, no problem.

CobaltSKy: He can hang out with the band if he wants to.

AllieL86: You'd really let him do that?

CobaltSky: You forget, love? I know what it's like to be new and not know anyone.

CobaltSky: People thought I was a weirdo when we first moved here. I can help him

AllieL86: You are entirely too nice, you know

CobaltSky: Nothing to it

CobaltSky: What bands does he listen to?

AllieL86: Don't know

AllieL86: I don't think I've ever heard music coming out of his room

CobaltSky: Everyone like something, Allie.

AllieL86: If you say so

AllieL86: Just don't say I didn't warn you

CobaltSky: I'm looking forward to it. What I hear, he's an amazing guy.

AllieL86: I guess
