First Saturday, Continued

Amber spends a bit thinking outside the gym. Natasha Gooder was a nice kid, but no use since she's just teen-famous, like Soulja Boy and Kim Kardashian. Wayne Martin was too busy to listen, but the fact that he was shooting signals of "more than liking" Amber meant that he would be good tot alk to later. Amber needed to head someplace big, and she needed someone who could spare a few minutes.

The Hoi Polloi Event Center! Big acts take place here all the time, it should be a good place to meet someone with connections, maybe on break or something.

Douche hanging around outside an arena in a suit an immediately giving the cold shoulder? Perfect.

Addison Batez does not take kindly to Amber's attempt to introduce herself during his yuppie break, thinking himself above her. He's right, which makes him an excellent target. Thinking of all the veggie sandwiches she can have as a rider in her contracts, Amber steels herself to impress him.

Amber starts by dropping the fact that she's basically the perfect P.A. at Plumbob Pictures, and even met him once.

"Ooooh yeeaaah, I remember you. You're the first P.A. to not mess up my favorite order, the Mocha Choca-Lotta Chestnut Walnut Lady Grey White, Grande Size, No Creme, All The Sugars, poppy seed bagel cut in half with 2 teaspoons of oregano."

 Amber's feeling the certified star power coming in! She then hits Addison with a one-two punch combo of charm and health advice.

"You're right, only douche bags order a bagel with 2 teaspoons of oregano, and I am certainly not a douche bag. A half-teaspoon it is! You're a pretty cool dude, Amber Oh, I'm going to write about you in my blog."

That did it! Amber is now a bona fide Fame Leecher. the first step on the path to five-star stardom! And who knew that Addison professionally runs a blog called "The Batez Inn?" That should be perfect for spreading the word. She can't wait to go back to work on Monday and talk to her mentor about her efforts.

Speaking of talking, how is May and Mitch Lee's kinda-sorta-not-really-date going? The answer is "Eh."

They meet outside the museum, and outside is the bane of May's existence, so it's already off on the wrong foot. May tries to lighten the mood by quipping a witticism, but it goes right over Mitch's head.

"I'm sorry, but I just don't get how Congress is the opposite of progress."

The two head inside to check out the art for a bit.

"One day, I will own this town."

The two bond a little over work, but it's a fleeting thing. Like drug side-effects.

"Sometimes, I think we're in the Matrix, and I took the blue pill."

And soon, May's flair for the Dramatic takes over.

And I can *not* have a husband who does not appreciate the differences between a headache and a migraine."

Well that's going well. What's Kay up to?

Completing her upgrade of the new stove to self-cleaning! Awesome!

"This will save me, like, billions in wasted minutes."

And watching her favorite TV show, "Amusing Thrones."

Winter is coming.

Good day. Good day.
