"
I
know
,
"
I
say
,
and
then
without
meaning
to
,
I
sigh
.
Adam
’
s
band
,
Shooting
Star
,
is
on
an
upward
spiral
,
which
,
is
a
great
thing
—
mostly
.
"
Ah
,
fame
,
wasted
on
the
youth
,
"
Dad
says
,
but
he
’
s
smiling
.
I
know
he
’
s
excited
for
Adam
.
Proud
even
.
I
leaf
through
the
newspaper
to
the
calendar
section
.
There
’
s
a
small
blurb
about
Shooting
Star
,
with
an
even
smaller
picture
of
the
four
of
them
,
next
to
a
big
article
about
Bikini
and
a
huge
picture
of
the
band
’
s
lead
singer
:
punk
-
rock
diva
Brooke
Vega
.
The
bit
about
them
basically
says
that
local
band
Shooting
Star
is
opening
for
Bikini
on
the
Portland
leg
of
Bikini
’
s
national
tour
.
It
doesn
’
t
mention
the
even
-
bigger
-
to
-
me
news
that
last
night
Shooting
Star
headlined
at
a
club
in
Seattle
and
,
according
to
the
text
Adam
sent
me
at
midnight
,
sold
out
the
place
.
"
Are
you
going
tonight
?
"
Dad
asks
.
"
I
was
planning
to
.
It
depends
if
they
shut
down
the
whole
state
on
account
of
the
snow
.
"
"
It
is
approaching
a
blizzard
,
"
Dad
says
,
pointing
to
a
single
snowflake
floating
its
way
to
the
earth
.
"
I
’
m
also
supposed
to
rehearse
with
some
pianist
from
the
college
that
Professor
Christie
dug
up
.
"
Professor
Christie
,
a
retired
music
teacher
at
the
university
who
I
’
ve
been
working
with
for
the
last
few
years
,
is
always
looking
for
victims
for
me
to
play
with
.
"
Keep
you
sharp
so
you
can
show
all
those
Juilliard
snobs
how
it
’
s
really
done
,
"
she
says
.
I
haven
’
t
gotten
into
Juilliard
yet
,
but
my
audition
went
really
well
.
The
Bach
suite
and
the
Shostakovich
had
both
flown
out
of
me
like
never
before
,
like
my
fingers
were
just
an
extension
of
the
strings
and
bow
.
When
I
’
d
finished
playing
,
panting
,
my
legs
shaking
from
pressing
together
so
hard
,
one
judge
had
clapped
a
little
,
which
I
guess
doesn
’
t
happen
very
often
.
As
I
’
d
shuffled
out
,
that
same
judge
had
told
me
that
it
had
been
a
long
time
since
the
school
had
"
seen
an
Oregon
country
girl
.
"
Professor
Christie
had
taken
that
to
mean
a
guaranteed
acceptance
.
I
wasn
’
t
so
sure
that
was
true
.
And
I
wasn
’
t
100
percent
sure
that
I
wanted
it
to
be
true
.
Just
like
with
Shooting
Star
’
s
meteoric
rise
,
my
admission
to
Juilliard
—
if
it
happens
—
will
create
certain
complications
,
or
,
more
accurately
,
would
compound
the
complications
that
have
already
cropped
up
in
the
last
few
months
.
