We embraced. "I've heard so much about your band." Gerard Way said before he disappeared.

He was ultra-busy.

I thought that was ultra-cool.

I was outside Reprise Records.

A new branch building had just opened in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I was waiting for my audition time.

Unfortunately, I had yet to find bandmates but I had somehow pieced together a solo demo and had wanted to give it a shot anyways.

Enter Brian Schechter, public enemy number one.

"No I will not manage your band, you're just a cheap rip-off of the band I'm already managing, My Chemical Romance."

I paused, "dammit, nooo!"

"ah well."

After I had been kicked out of the building, I spied a rat. Frank Iero was running off, presumably to tell Gerard and the others what had just happened between me and Reprise Records.

I grinned to myself. Yes, I was sure it was him, scarpering off to the gang.

Finally, I was getting a little bit of attention.
