Camp planning is in full swing Shannon met this morning with the crew that will be accompanying us to camp. To say he's excited is an understatement, his enthusiasm is contagious. I've never seen him so excited, can't say I blame him we all are. While Andy seems genuinely interested and engages in conversation he seems a bit distracted. What is up with the men around here, have they all decided to take a brake from reality?Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm just over reacting, well at least Jared is back to normal. Abrianna hands the small crew their assignments while Shannon gives them a brief summary of what to expect "Check in is Friday morning at 11:00 a.m. sharp, you'll have an hour to get settled in to your rooms and we'll be meeting up outside the dinning hall at 12:00 p.m sharp to set up the bar and the dining area. Andy, Travis; I want you two to start filming and taking pictures as soon as we're ready to go. Zack, Dai; you should be ready to start preparing coffee as soon as we're finished setting up I don't expect us to be too busy on Friday but I want to be ready in case anyone wants to try our coffee before The actual event. You'll both take turns manning the the register. Emma and Jamie; you'll be in charge of merchandise and greeting customers. If we run low on supplies and merchandise make sure to let myself, Abrianna or Nina know. If for whatever reason you can't locate us you can let this knuckle head know...." he points in Jared's direction ".... but only if absolutely necessary" Jared raises his hands and looks at Shannon as if to Hey. I can't help but giggle at that, these two are too much.
Shannon tries to stifle a laugh as he continues his summary "Any whouie Louie, moving on. Just thought I should give you all a heads up; the reception up there sucks to high hell so we'll be communicating through handheld radios so make sure to keep it on you and on the same frequency at all times. Nolan promised some kind of WiFi but until we're there we won't know for sure. Any questions?" For the most part everyone seemed to be clear on Shannon's instructions. He turns to me and I hand him the post cards I picked up earlier from the printers "Nina also came up with these postcards, we will place them strategically on the tables, next to the merch and at the register. The whole point of this is to increase foot traffic at the loft" he hands a card to each staff member to look over, the card itself is basic but classy. The front contains a picture of the Loft with the word Blackfuel centered at the top with the red rose emblem. The bottom of the card has the address and phone number to the loft. The back has a brief message from Shannon along with a photo spread of the coffee and merchandise. The bottom of the cards have some of Shannon's favorite coffee quotes. Everyone seems to like them, even Andy seems impressed "I was thinking we can take a few candid shots of people trying the coffee maybe on Sunday ask for feedback. See if people like the pop up, coffee and merch" now it's Shannon's who's impressed "I like that kid, you think you can come up with a basic feed back card you can take notes on to include in the Blog?" Andy smiles "Sure no problem, I can have a sample ready by the end of the day today if you'd like" Shannon nods in agreement "Perfect have it on my desk before you leave tonight also create separate lay out where we can keep track of the responses"
Jared's Point of View.......
Oh my God it actually thinks, I'm actually impressed. You mean this nitwit is actually capable of coherent thought "Penny for your thoughts love" her voice brings me back to reality "Is that all I'm worth?" She leans on the desk next to me and in a soft sexy whisper that nearly sends my manhood into a frenzy "You're worth your weight in gold but given that look on your face I'd say you're up to no good" if it were up to me I'd pull her close and grab a hand full of what's rightfully mine but since we are in a room full of people who's still only think of her as my assistant I must keep it PG "I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about" a mischievous grin covers my face but I keep my eyes trained on Shannon as he wraps up the meeting. I know the wheels in her head are turning but I keep her guessing. I know she is mine as I am hers but you know what they say keep your friends close and your enemies, or in this case my competition, closer. Not that he could compete, hell he doesn't even stand a snowballs chance in.... well you get the picture. But still it never hurts to be safe. After the meeting the four of us stay in the conference room to strategize the weekend at camp "I talked to Nolan and he said the four of us could check in starting at 9:00, they'll have breakfast waiting and we can get a head start on setting up the bar" Shannon looks interested " I do have a crew setting up the bar but I guess it wouldn't hurt to go over the plans before the crew gets there" Abrianna and Nina sit back and watch us talk talk shop, taking careful notes every now and again. It's gonna be another late night so I have Nina order dinner for the four of us. It's midweek so we're down to the wire but for the most part we are prepared.
This project has turned into a blessing in disguise, it's the first time in a long time that Shann and I have worked together on a project and I'm really enjoying it "I've missed this" he looks at me quizzically "What do you mean?" I smile back "This.... Us..... working on a project together" a huge smile adorns my brother's face "Me too, Thanks for doing this with me it really means a lot" ok now he's getting mushy "You're not getting sentimental on me now, are you?" He shakes his head at me "And if I was would you get me a tissue?" Ok now he's just being a smart ass "I'd get you the whole box" we both laugh at that while the girls just shake their heads "I can't with you two" Abrianna giggles as she squeezes Nina's hand "I gave up on them a long time ago Bella" it really is refreshing to have someone who really gets us, someone who'll laugh and understand our warped sense of humor rather than be lost and bored shitless by it. Don't know where's she's been my whole life but I intend to keep her in it for the rest of it.
