Tina answered her phone: “Hello Tina Kemnard”
Kit: “Hello Miss Kennard, my name is Kit Porter, and I would like to talk to you about a development.”
Tina: “ Kit Porter, THE KIT PORTER, the singer”
Kit smiled :”The very same”
Tina: “Wow what can I do for you Miss Porter?”
Kit: “Please call me Kit, you make me sound like my mother” They shared a laugh.
Kit: “I own the a coffee shop called The Planet over in West Hollywood”
Tina: “Yeah I know the place”
Kit: “You do?”
Tina: “Uh huh, I was a regular at The Planet some time ago, I got too busy eventually to take time for coffee”
Kit: “Well it’s a small world. Anyway I want to give the place a revamp and relaunch it as a coffee shop come night club”
Tina: “ Sounds interesting especially in that part of town”
Kit: “Do you think it would be something that you would be interested in doing?”
Tina: “That all depends Kit, on if you want me to do the job”
Kit: “ I thought it would be something that you would have to see if it was your sort of thing”
Tina: “ Let me guess you have been talking to Billie Bojangles assistant?”
Kit: “How did you know?”
Tina: “ I know Billie, let me guess she will call you in a few days if is something she likes the look of.”
Kit: “well yes”
Tina: “She will never visit your site Kit. Not that she’s not good, she is on e of the best, but you’ll never see her. That might be how you like to work, but me, I’m different”
Kit: “You are?”
Tina: “Yeah, I like to meet the owner, to talk through the specifications face to face, so I can get a feel for the soul. Does that make sense?”
Kit: “sounds perfect”
Tina: “ so I can come to you” kit heard shuffling in the back ground” end of this week?”
Kit: “ That’s fine by me, and a presentation, would that be possible?”
Tina: “Once we’ve spoken I can present something by the beginning of the next week.”
They decided on a day and a time to meet. Kit was pleased with her progress since the brainstorm with the girls. She decided not to email Billie the spec just yet, she had a feeling about Tina Kennard, and wanted to see what she had before going to Billie. She switched off the computer, and decided to head home for a soak in the tub before heading over to Bette’s.
