A Future We'd Like to See 1.61 - Overnight Success
By Stefan "Twoflower" Gagne (Copyright 1994)

"Garage band," I said.

"We don't know how to play music."

"Okay, a BAD garage band. Come on, man, we've got NOTHING
better to do," I said. "It's Friday night. It's a happenin'
time in the C'atel area. School's out. We don't have any damn
projects to worry about. We have time to kill and a way to do
it."

"We can't play any instruments, Matt."

"That doesn't matter. You've got a drum beat sequencer on
your deck, right? We'll use that instead of a drummer. I have a
toy guitar. Franny has a lot of samples and a cool keyboard.
It'll WORK. And if it doesn't, we've successfully blown the
weekend and had a fun time doing it."

"Matt man, you're nuts. You know that, right? I mean, last
week it was art. The week before, you were racing remote control
cars. Now you wanna form a garage band."

"Point?"

"Point is that you're acting silly. You ALWAYS act silly."

"Nothing wrong with that," I said. "A little silly will do
you some good, Jack. Now get over here and bring your deck. I
gotta call Franny."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Matt said, clicking off his
holophone. The image snapped out of existence. I grabbed my
notebook (since the miracle of memory eludes me) and looked up
Franny's number, dialing.

"Yeah?" she asked, hopping into frame.

"Franny. We're going to form a garage band. Drag a
collection of weird samples and your keyboard over."

"Okay," she said, and clipped the link. Well, that was
easy. Certainly easier than Jack.

Jack typically didn't like my spur-of-the-moment ideas.
Always called them silly. I don't mind; they ARE silly, that's
the whole point. Who cares if they take up time that could be
used raising the GNP or your GPA?
