Turn the Brew to Woohoo!
When: The day after an adult toy party. The Place: In your hostess’s mind The Issue: She’s wondering: -What the heck her party sales came out to be? – What credits did she actually get? – Did anyone really book a show? …and all the while wishing she could had paid attention to you instead of being the ultimate hostess and taking care of her friends and guests.
