<div style="text-align: justify;">James was hanging out at his place looking for some inspirating. He had written a few good songs so far and the band liked them but as a songwriter you can never stop. He was stuck and didn't know how to continue but when he looked at the clock he realized that it was time. The meeting of their band was in half an hour. He took a quick shower and dressed himself. A black Rise Against (http://acfrg.com/pics/300_209121a.jpg) shirt and some worn down jeans, the clothes of a punkrock singer. <br/><br/>This meeting at Bailey's place was really important to him because it would be the last discussion before they could play on their first real gig. Previously they had some low key gigs in local pubs and one really small festival that only got an attendance of like 200 people. It was enough to get notice by an organizer of a bigger event in Montreal though. They would be one of the groups that entertained the crowd before the main event. This would really help them to get the attention of the music lovers. It was a major opportunity for the group and Marie &amp; James didn't have to think twice about it. <br/><br/>There were some uncertainties though. James didn't know how the group would react on a trip in a van for that long. It would be the longest time that they were with eachother. So far they didn't have real troubles, there were some arguments sometimes but that was only because of the music and not because of the personalities in the group. James hoped that it would stay this way and that they got in Montreal without a fight.<br/><br/>When he was done in his house he headed up to Bailey's warehouse. It was really a warehouse and it could hardly be called a house when you saw the outside. The inside was better and it was a real comfortable home. The big open space in the living room was exactly what they needed for their group meetings. The six band members fitted easily in there and sometimes the roadie came with them too for some discussion. At this point they didn't really need a roadie but Colin was a good guy and it definitely helped them that he was around. James walked to Bailey's door and pushed on the bell.</div>
