:
Fall arrives. Everyone prepares for Festival.
:
The phone rings. It's Jessie, Cam'el's half-brother. “Hey bro."
:
“Sup Jess?!”
:
“Monica and I are on our way downtown. We've got tickets for Aldean tonight. Have you seen the line-up? Boss."
:
"Yeah, pretty great. I'm hoping to get down there at some point."
:
"Why don't we go together? I don't mind swinging by..."
:
Cam’el considers the offer, rocking Karin as the LP turns, emitting pops and swells of acoustic jazz.
:
“I'm just getting the little girl to sleep. Don't want to wake her now. Why don't you two go ahead. Maybe I will catch up with you.”
:
Jessie decides to be blunt. “Mom told me about the TV gig, that you are in jeopardy of losing it."
:
"We might. It's complicated."
:
"Dude. If I had a chance half the chance you do, I would grab it and not look back."
:
"Listen Jess, we did the shows to let people know about our programs. I guess we were getting too real for them. They're leaving us, we're not leaving them..."
:
"You’re crazy Cam’el. You run a good game, but when you have all the chips in front of you, you freeze. I'd love to be in your shoes...”
:
“You always had more street sense than me Jess. Maybe this IS your time and not mine... Look go ahead. If I don't see you tonight, for sure we'll go together tomorrow. Say hello to Monica for me..."
