You find yourself backstage with the band Fro Yo Ma, who you got to know over a spikeball game on the lawn. They’re pretty athletic for a band - turns out one of them used to swim at a decent liberal arts college in the midwest. You take a lap and accidentally run into Claire Boucher, spilling your green juice all over her angel wings.
Claire backhands you in the face and grabs the rest of your juice. She slurps some of it, flicks you in the forehead and screams “this is the best shit I’ve ever tasted, where did you get it?” You lie and say you made it. There’s a “juice generation” logo on the straw. She dumps the rest over your head, but gives you a genuine smile. It’s the best day of your life.
