And that was, you know, I did that, and maybe I did okay at it, but, like, I got the feeling that that wasn't the side of it I wanted to be on.
And then a friend of mine had started a booking agency, and she was booking cool bands and maybe a little more part of this indie scene than I was. And I started hanging out with her and helping her with some of her stuff.

And there were a lot of young people that worked there. So there was its own scene. What was the scene like? It was weird.

They would go out almost every night and then they'd come in and they'd rate their hangovers. Wow. And we had like an intranet system, you know, so you could talk to each other.
