Here It Goes

When I got home from work that morning I got a call from someone who works for Mad Decent and asked if I could fly out tomorrow to run over some things, all expenses paid. I of course accepted and was baffled as hell the whole day. 

"Flying to Miami tomorrow for Mad Decent Event" I texted to Sonny. 

"Damn! Do what you do best! ;)" He sent back and I was glad he was happy for me. 

My whole day was spent in a daze pretty much as I packed and got all my things ready. Tomorrow came a lot faster than I was expecting and before I knew it I was on an airplane flying across the country to Miami. 

When I got there I was treated like gold and I was somewhat on cloud nine. I ended up meeting with Diplo himself at the hotel I was going to stay at for the next two nights. 

"Nice to finally meet you!" He said shaking my hand. "I've heard nothing but great things about you from Sonny." 

"Nice to meet you too." I said smiling trying to stay professional. 

"Well we can just go over everything down here. I know they have a private mini conference room we can use." There were a few other people moseying around us who I assumed also worked for Mad Decent. 

We made our way to the room and a bunch of paper work and pictures of the event were pulled up. Diplo, who's real name was Tom, sat down next to me and went over everything. 

"I know it's all incredibly last second but Sonny told me you could pull miracles out of nowhere so I'm hoping for the best here." He explained and I nervously laughed.

"I can try to work some magic." I said looking over everything. I was so mind blown by how hospitable everyone was to me. Tom even gave me an assistant for the day to help with anything which I was incredibly grateful for since I was pretty much working alone. 

She was a young sweet girl. We talked a little as we rode to the place the event was being held and I was already shooting off emails and texts trying to make some connections happen here. I ended up getting in touch with a few of the right people and before I knew it everything was coming together. Tom and I had exchanged numbers earlier so I sent him a text letting him know the progress. 

After a stressful few days I got to see my masterpiece come together flawlessly. There were no issues and every thing ran smoothly. I was able to actually enjoy the event and hear some live music without being stressed out my mind. 

I was leaving in the morning to fly back to LA but before I went back to my room I said my goodbyes to everyone. 

"I cannot thank you enough for what you've done." Tom said to me slightly tipsy. 

"Oh, anytime!" I told him with a smile.

"I will seriously take you up on that. Do you have your own company?" He asked and I shook my head and explained who and what I worked for. 

He shook his head back at me. "No no. You should seriously consider doing your own. Don't let anyone hold you back and some other philosophical bullshit like that, you know?" He said. Okay, maybe he was more than tipsy. I just laughed it off and thanked him for all he'd done for me. 

I spent most of the plane ride asleep since my sleep cycle had been thrown off a little while in Miami. When I got back I felt exhausted so I changed into some old pajama shorts and a white UCLA hoodie. I called Todd to see what he was up to since I hadn't really spent any time with him recently. 

He agreed to come over for lunch so we could catch up. I told him I would make lunch which was a dumb decision on my part because I hadn't gone grocery shopping since moving in. I decided to go now not really giving a shit that I was in my pajamas.
