Why this must be read:

Geoffrey, Anna and Richard have a sit down with Darren to discuss Darren's latest production for the New Burbage Festival. An argument between Darren's ideas about what art is versus Geoffrey calling him on his ridiculousness ensues.
Oh, and Geoffrey 'discovers' the internet.
Enough said.


Darren was late.

Geoffrey wished he could believe that it was because Darren had been working, but Anna shattered that illusion by admitting that she'd seen Darren on her way to the meeting, standing in the parking lot smoking Italian cigarettes and lecturing some poor intern from the scene shop who didn't know any better about Franco-Swedish minimalism, which Geoffrey was 99.9% sure he had just made up.

"All right," Darren said when he finally came swanning into the conference room twenty minutes late. "Kindly be quick, I have a committment in...twenty-three minutes. Allons-y."

"Good of you to join us, Darren," Geoffrey said, glaring down the length of the table. Darren flicked the end of his scarf over his wrist and examined the fringe over his glasses.

"I don't wish to banter, Geoffrey. I don't wish to give my precious time to soul-crushing bureaucracy. I wish only to return to my work."

"Darren," Richard said cautiously, leaning forward with that hopeful, ingratiating smile that made Geoffrey want to hit him with a chair. "We need to talk about your new project."

Darren eyed him suspiciously, fanning the fringe of his scarf in front of his eyes. "What about it?"

"Well, it's been a little...off-the-books." Richard looked at Anna for support. She looked at Geoffrey. Geoffrey rolled his eyes.

Dear heart, you've been forgetting to put the author in the subject line...just FYI.
