11.Talk about Sonny.
Hmmmm, Sonny. As a person with whom to spend time, he is great. He's fun, and easy going, he will outlast you at ANYTHING and EVERYTHING (did I mention? I am the old one in the partnership?) He can cook better than any restaurant I've ever been in - and I know my food. The best thing about him though? He's a total sweetheart, but he'll beat your ass if you make him. It takes a lot for him to lose his temper (except I know how to make him do it quickly!) but when he does, um.... you might want to hide.
As far as the business goes: The first few shows, people would walk past me and start talking to Sonny about my business. He would have this glossed over look, hand them a business card and point them to me. They ALWAYS thought he was my webmaster. And then after awhile he started saying "Look Dude, I just carry her luggage." He has done SO much more, but I don't want to tell him that so he gets egotistical. I never would have gotten anywhere (where exactly AM I?! Not sure,) without him. He funded the entire project until it started making money, and the bitching and moaning he has had to listen to?! Good LORD!
But the actual blood, sweat and tears, those were mine, the day to day stuff. So, when people came up to him and started asking him questions about whether he wanted to do this or that with TouchElla, he was like, that's HER call. It was funny. Not as funny though, as watching their facial expressions when they would talk to me, and I actually had a BRAIN between my ears. That was even more funny.
On another note, Sonny has tried to be very cool about not hovering over me. He is a big guy and can be rather frightening. So, at shows, he was always very good about giving me space so that he didn't scare off the others. He has been wonderful - he is a support system unlike anything I've ever had before.
He's a pain in my ass though. Unfortunately, he's the male version of me. Ugh. Stubborn, and not afraid to dish it!
