“There’s loads of clubs and places to get some good grub or hang out with friends.” As she spoke, Lisa’s eyes wandered to Ashley’s messenger bag.
    Ashley had ironed on patches of some of her favorite bands and musicians onto the black material. She gave equal real estate to new players such as Mumford and Sons, The Avett Step-brothers, The Lumineers and also Boy and Bear. Just as much as she did her old favorites such as the Doors, the Beatles, Janis Joplin and the Rolling Stones.
    Lisa smirked broadly. “I believe I’ve just found a kindred spirit! You have great taste in music.”
    “Really?” That perked Ashley’s interest. “I was beginning to think everyone here only liked country.”
    Lisa rolled her eyes. “One of my favorite clubs to go to here is the Cave. It’s dedicated to Indie Rock Music bands. Judging by your taste in music, I think it’s right up your alley. There’s Tribute Tuesdays, where local bands pay tribute to their favorite bands. Wildcard Wednesdays are loads of fun. Anything can happen, from karaoke to raw beat boxing. Throwback Thursdays feature local musicians who sing all the hits of the 60’s, 70s and 80s. Free Mic Fridays is karaoke night. Then Soundoff Saturdays is where one indie band performs all night long from 8 PM to 2 AM. It’s a blast! This Saturday, my boyfriend’s band’s playing. Whisky Lullaby. Have you heard of them?”
    Ashley couldn’t help but smile. Lisa had listed the entire week of the club in about five seconds without needing to take a breath. And then she had mentioned Whisky Lullaby. She had clearly made a new friend. “I met Logan yesterday.”
    “Isn’t he the sweetest?” Lisa asked and fanned herself. “He’s so stinkin’ handsome. No wonder all the girls swoon over him.” She laughed and pretended to fan herself. “Too bad they kicked Charlie out of the band. It was fun to watch his antics.”
    “They kicked Charlie out?” She couldn’t picture Charlie holding an instrument other than something sport related.
    “Yeah… Too much booze. Kid can’t handle his liquor. Looked bad for the band.”
    Interesting. “So which of the guys do you go out with?”
    “If you met Logan, you’ve met my man.”
    The smile fell from Ashley’s face, she could feel her cheeks start burning.
    “Oh shit, girl! Not Logan!” Lisa burst out laughing. “You should see your face! I’m sorry. It’s not funny. It’s just… just…” Lisa sucked in a shaky breath as she laughed again. “I’m way too old for Logan! He’s like a kid stepbrother to me. I go out with Dale, Logan’s best friend. They’re always together.” Lisa snapped her fingers. “Hey, do you want to go watch them perform Saturday night? It gets kind of lonely waiting for them to come on, it’d be nice to have a drinking buddy or band-fan buddy.”
    With a little reluctance, Ashley agreed. “Okay. Yeah. That sounds like fun.” Her hesitation wasn’t because she didn’t like Lisa. Quite the opposite actually. She liked Lisa a lot. She hadn’t had such a great track record with female friends though. In her experience, girls could be back stabbers, and she often preferred the company of a protective male friend over the unpredictable nature of a female companion.
    “Sweet! If I don’t see you before Saturday, let’s meet down here around 5. It’ll be awesome. You’ll love the band.”
    Ashley warmed to the idea. It could be a lot of fun. “Sounds like a plan.” With how good the band sounded from the street, she couldn’t wait to hear their sound quality from the inside of the club.
    “I should drop these off in my room before I… have to head out again.” She felt shy to tell Lisa she was meeting Logan. “See you later.” She grabbed the boxes from the counter and made her way to the elevator. She pressed the up button on the elevator panel and took the express car up to the third floor. She banged loudly inside the dorm room, making sure Kaylee could hear that
