onceandthefuture: how did it go?
stripeznstarz50: artie
onceandthefuture: yes?
stripeznstarz50: that went both better and worse than I expected
stripeznstarz50: worse in that there was a lot more yelling than I anticipated
stripeznstarz50: better in that THEY AGREED TO LET ME DO IT!
onceandthefuture: that's awesome!
stripeznstarz50: with conditions of course

stripeznstarz50: toris is one of my dad's fanboys
stripeznstarz50: and in his 20s
stripeznstarz50: and would be my manager if I needed one
