what i needed to say

There it sits.
ROBOTlove
In those doors waits the one and only
Claudio Sanchez.

Snow covers the ground.
My brother and I power walk to the door.

Jumping Jehoshaphat there he is!
Dark, curly hair springing from his head
stretching wider than his shoulders.
He looks something like a poodle.

Grabbing our Kill Audio dolls our hearts start to race
This is unbelievable.
No other fans, just us,
ROBOTlove employees
and Claudio.

I gotta say something unique.
Or at least something smart.

He shook Jake's hand!
I didn't think he did stuff like that.
Good thing Jake's not as nervous as me.

I was going to say that.
and that.
That too...

What do I say?
What do I say?

Placing my box on the table
I watch as Claudio's Sharpie glides over the top
Hey, that's the Keywork
and his signature.
He's drawing a face just like he did on Jake's.

Say something!

Claudio looks up.
Scrambling, five words make their way out of my mouth;

“Can we have a picture?”

Damn, I sure am good with rockstars.
