"He is though." Carrie says and we both know she's right. "He needs a dose of the cold hard truth. I loved Candey, so very much. I don't deny how it's killed a part of him, but he is staying faithful to something that can never be." I nod in understanding, but drop it as we get to the main bus to all walk to the venue together.

Knowing I will see him for the first time since last night.

What I see when I get on the bus, is nothing. All the guys have left for the venue and Cassa informs us that one of the bands fried the lighting when a newer roadie put the amps on the wrong power strip.

"They are loading generators now trying to see if it's possible to save the show or refund. Tay is in a panic." Cassa is applying her lipstick in the mirror as she tells us what's going on.

Carrie is texting on her phone. "Chad says they'll play old school if they have too." She has a soft sweet smile on her face and something about how she is taken by thought tells me she loves the idea.

"Carrie and Chad's first date was at Shames dads cabin and the power went out. We lined all the cars and trucks in a circle and danced in the headlights by the fire. They guys played on their acoustics and Shame played on pots and pans. It was awesome." Cassa laughs as she replays the memory.

"So how would they do a show old school?" I ask and follow them out of the trailer, stopping to grab my notebook before she locked up.

"It's an outdoor venue, so they can go no lights until the Geni is fixed and do an acoustic show."

"Likeunplugged?" I asked Carrie who explained.

"Exactly." She says and laughs. "Rain or shine or blackout, TAT will still go on."
