Okay, I need some help from any of The Brigade.

Amanda & Brian are going into a meeting on Monday with their new business manager, and among other things, they will be discussing what my salary will be.

This is where I need your help. While my background in writing, sales and marketing enables me to write beautiful symphonies professing the benefits of a product or service, I've never been too good at writing about *me* - especially when it comes to proclaiming how good I am at something.

A&B see the results of what I do, but very seldom see all that happens behind the doors on this end of the computer, where, with your help,we create such incredible magic. In my conversation with Amanda the other day, she seemed to think it was only a couple hours a day that I did this - which is fine, as she simply doesn't know. It's my job to let her concentrate on things for the band, and she didn't need to know all that goes on behind the scenes - until now.

This talk with their Business Manager is a very important one, and I need to get her a very specific outline on what I do by Sunday night. The amount they decide to pay me will determine if I am able to keep on doing this full time, or need to step away from it (partially) in order to find something else to offer income.

I don't want to have to push this aside, even a little bit. I don't think I would be able to keep up.

If any of you have some good advice, a personal story where I came in and helped, a good testimonial about me and what I do, how incredibly amazing I am and how no-one could ever replace me - anything - please send it my way. ( email it to thebrigade@dresdendolls.com )

I really appreciate this - it's very important to me.

Lovelovelove,
