Just To Feel Like You
then we’re all just fucked
I can’t remember
I can’t remember
And I want it so bad
I’d shoot the sunshine into my veins
I can’t remember
The good old days

Big news!
The title basically says it all! I’ve been working super hard on my album, with some great feedback from you guys about which songs you like best and which need a little more work. Seriously, I have some of the best fans in the world. Couldn’t do any of this without you.
Which means I wanted you guys to be the first to hear about my album release plans. It’s coming out June 24, on a little indie label based here in LA. Later that week, I’ll be playing an album release show at the Troubadour, and I want you guys to show up in force. Nothing is set in stone yet, but I would love to do some special stuff for fan club members that week, too. I’m working on some special merch items for you guys, but hopefully we’ll all have a chance to get together once or twice, too. Check with Mia for details about some of those things. She keeps things running smoothly in my life, I swear.
I know LA is a bit of a trek for some of y’all, but seriously, I want you to pack the house at my show. This will be the biggest solo show I’ve ever played, and I need the place to be rocking. I’m going to post in the community soon too and give everyone some more details about the plans, how to get tickets, etc, etc! So keep an eye out for all the deets.
plans for LA?

Hey, so I was talking to Laura the other day, and she said you were interested in going to Taylor’s album release show. I dunno if you know, but I work for a hotel chain, so I can get us all a good deal on a room, if you want to room with me and her. It’ll be the Best Western Sunset Plaza. I know you two have met in person, so I’m kind of the odd one out, but I think we could all have a lot of fun together.
Also, I really loved your latest book! SUPER hot. I hope you don’t mind that Laura sent me some of your books and kinda hinted at who wrote them.

Hey! Thanks, I’m glad you liked the book 🙂 I’ve tried to keep my secret identity, well, a secret. But it’s obvious a lot of people know.
I haven’t talked to Laura about it again, but I just found out I have a conference that work wants me to go to earlier that week. So I don’t know how I’m going to make it all work, but the thing just happens to be in LA. So it HAS to work, right? I mean. There has to be a way I can make this happen. It’s too much to be a coincidence. Anyway, once I figure out the details of that, I’ll let you know about the hotel room.
“So Emilia is booking the room today; she just needs to know if you’re in,” Laura said.
Carolina put her fountain drink back in the cup holder and sighed. She had opted to go pick up her lunch that day at work, and it gave her time to call Laura back. “Well, I finally got the schedule for the conference. I’ll be there for two days and the library is putting me up at a hotel, which is nice. The last day just so happens to be the day before Taylor’s secret show that we totally aren’t supposed to know about or tell anyone about whatsoever.”
“Okay, so that’s basically sounding perfect to me,” Laura replied.
“It is and it isn’t,” Carolina said. “I mean, I have to be at the main Los Angeles branch like all day for two days. And I’ll need a hotel room or something for that night.”
“So just ask Emilia if she can add on another night. I know it won’t be cheap if it’s just you, but there will still be a discount. It’ll probably still be cheaper than any other hotel in the area.”
“Cheaper isn’t saying much. It’s Los Angeles. Nothing is cheap. I mean, nothing I actually want to buy.”
Laura giggled. “Okay, okay. That’s true. But it can’t hurt to ask her, you know?”
“Yeah, I’ll give her a call later. I need to get back to work now; I’ve already taken longer for lunch than I was really supposed to.”
“Alright, talk to you later! And see you in a month.”

Just wanted to see if you had figured out your plans for LA yet. I know you talked about having some work thing to do earlier that week, so I didn’t know if you’d be able to make it or not. And if you are, do you have a room? I’m looking at the Sunset Marquis. I know it’s expensive but, like, how can I not?

I’m sharing a room with Emilia and Laura at the Best Western. Cheaper, but still close to the action.
And yeah, I am gonna be in town early for a library conference. It just kinda worked out perfectly that I could take a little vacation right after that.

You should totally try to meet up with Taylor if you’re going to be there early! Wouldn’t that be fun? Ugh, I’m so jealous of you, living so much closer to him.

I thought about sending him a PM but I dunno. I’m sure he will be busy and he probably doesn’t want to spend any extra time with me anyway. I would just feel like shit if he said no, so I probably won’t ask. I may not have any free time anyway.

To: montanalogan@gmail.com, xxfourleafclovers@gmail.comJust wanted to let you know that I found a really, really good deal on a flight, but I’ll be getting in late Wednesday evening instead of during the day Thursday. It was so cheap, I had to do it, and if we split the room for Wednesday night, I’ll still come out ahead. Let me know if that sounds good to you! Hopefully you can add that date on for me, Emilia? Or let me know how to get it added myself.

So, I’m making plans for LA and I’m gonna have some time to kill Wednesday afternoon. I’ll be in town for a library thing and Laura isn’t getting in until late that night, so I’ll be all on my own. I thought maybe we could get together for dinner or something?

Subject: super secret house party
To: montanalogan@gmail.com, laura.jane@gmail.com, delanieann@gmail.com, xxfourleafclovers@gmail.com, alana.vasquez@sanjose.edu, and 10 othersHey, just wanted to let a few of you guys in the fan club know that we’re planning a super secret house party at my place Thursday night. I know not everyone is getting in for the also secret Hotel Café show Thursday night, but if you can make it to that, or come in a day early for the big concert, then you’re invited to the house party.
There will be a $5 charge for admission, which of course all goes to Taylor. It’s BYOB but we’ll have a few drinks and some swag on hand, first come first serve. Please reply back to this email and let me know if you’re coming so I know how many people to plan for. I do have roommates, but they’re all fans too, so we don’t have to worry about anybody being weird about the party if it gets loud. And it’s definitely going to get loud!
hey

Hey, just wondering if you decided to try to make plans with Taylor or not. Again, so jealous! I wish I could be there early but my flight won’t get in until right before the Hotel Café show.

I sent him a message, but we didn’t make any definite plans. I doubt we really will get together, but he’s too nice to just straight up say no. Plus he’s going to be really busy…

Ugh, you two are totally going to go out and I am so jealous! Tell me all about it later.
On the second day of the library conference, Carolina found herself seriously dragging. She had attended a special dinner the night before, then gone back to her hotel room and passed out early, but she still had no energy in the morning. Thankfully, there was a Starbucks just a block away from the library, and she couldn’t resist stopping in for a latte. While she waited in line, she pulled out her phone, signed into AIM and fired off a quick message to Taylor.
xcityofnightx: hey, just wanted to see if we were on for tonight or what? I’m going to be stuck at the library until around 3pm and then i’ll have to find my hotel and see if I can get checked in. so we could get together some time after that. laura won’t get in until 11 or so.
She retrieved her drink and was just walking through the library’s doors when her phone notified her of a new message.
sacred fool: i probably won’t be free until about 7, but we can definitely get together then. i thought we had each other’s numbers? if not, mine is 918-813-2436.
Carolina knew without a doubt that he had never given her his number before. She had to admit, it was a fairly smooth way for him to handle the fact that, when they had met, he didn’t trust her enough to give his number out. It would seem that he did now. That meant a lot to her. She typed a quick, not entirely truthful, message back to him before entering the conference room.
xcityofnightx: if we did, i probably don’t have yours anymore. i had to get a new phone. mine is 304-627-1918. i’ll text you when i get to the hotel, and we’ll figure out our plans from there.
sacred fool:sounds good! see ya later 🙂
