(expecting him to look at me like I was speaking a foreign language.) He: "Its not in yet." Me: "Do you have any promo material you could play?" He: "Yeah! Its great! I have it at home." Me: [holding back my envy] "Well, I'll just have to stop in again. Thanks." [2 days later- I stop in to return a defective tape] [and he's there again.] Me: [explanation of tape deleted - reminds him of our Kate conversation.] "Did you bring that demo tape in?" He: "No, I still have it at home." Me: "Do you think if I give you a blank tape you could dub it for me? Its going to be out next week anyway." He: "No, I'm sorry. I can't do that." Me: [jaw dropped] "Why not? Can I bribe you?" He: "No, I'm afraid I can't do that." Me: "Well....uhhh...thanks.....uh, anyway. [sigh]" Hmph! :-> Waiting, Ken
