 Okay, here s the thing. You know how Luke and I always go to the annual ATSA
conference? He referred to the Adult Team Sports Association, the overseeing organisation
for adult competitive sports.
 Right. That s coming up next month.
 Yes. And Luke always takes care of the registration details and so forth. Well, Derek s
going this year, of course.
Derek had taken over as the de facto head coach of their multi-sport, competitive adult
team, though Mario and Luke had also technically retained coaching status of the team
they d formed together over ten years ago. The three had settled into a somewhat natural
division of labour, with Derek providing the leadership, training know-how and strategy
during practices and games, Luke taking care of details like finances, paperwork and
registrations for tournaments, and Mario managing the equipment, arranging field time and
acting as a liaison with other teams on setting up their seasonal schedules and scrimmages.
 Sure. Oh& Don t tell me. Luke only booked one room.
Mario pulled the phone away to stare at it for a moment.  You re scary, you know
that?
Cade laughed.  Well, you know how you do something the same way for years. It gets
to be a habit. I can totally see him going through the reg process and booking just one room.
 Yes and the resort is full.
 Oh crap. So& do they have an overflow suggestion?
 Not really possible. It s kind of in the middle of nowhere. I d be driving from a ways
away. And, since all the events are right there at the resort, plus the basketball tournament, I
don t want to have to rent a car and drive all over. But I was thinking& Maybe someone
needs a roommate to share costs? How would I find someone like that?

ROUGH AWAKENING Devon Rhodes 195
 Hmm&  Mario could hear keys clicking in the background as Cade typed.  Okay, is
there a chat board or group for the convention?
Mario gave a derisive snort.  I have no fucking idea. I don t do that sort of thing. And
I m not calling Luke to ask him.
 No, I get that. Okay, I m on the conference website& They mention a Yahoo group for
attendees. I d go there. I m emailing the site admin explaining that you re an attendee and
need the link to join the group. I ll have them email it to you. Mario Santos&  Cade
continued to type as he mumbled,  Rough Riders& co-captain& 
 Join a Yahoo group? Nothing sounded lamer to Mario than trying to  talk to
strangers online. He didn t even IM or email his friends.  You know? Fuck this. I don t know
what to say to people. I m being stupid. I ll just stay with the guys.
 It s okay, man. You don t have to do that much chatting. Just introduce yourself,
which you can do with a couple of sentences and maybe do a quick post to see if anyone
going wants someone to share expenses. Mario started to protest again and Cade cut him
off, continuing,  You can even say you re not big into conversation and you just want a place
to crash. Okay, that s sent.
Cade walked Mario through setting up a bare-bones profile and linking to the group,
then how to navigate the group. Mario was relieved to see a few  threads had roommate in
the title. Cade ended up basically dictating his post for him.
 Okay, okay, Mario finally protested,  I ve taken up enough of your time. Come on. I
can figure it out from here. So, people will just answer this?
 Yes, I have it set up so replies to your post come directly to you in an email.
Mario felt inexplicably relieved.  I can just email with someone from now on?
 You re such a Luddite. Cade laughed.  Yes. Just email. And, if you find someone
promising, you can exchange your actual emails or phone numbers and take it off-post.
 Whatever that means. Okay. Thanks, man. Mario took a deep breath, feeling hope for
the first time since he d found out about the snafu.  And Cade? Can you not& mention this
to the guys? I mean, if it doesn t work out& I don t want them to know I was trying& 
 No problem. My lips are sealed. Hey, I ll see you tomorrow at Valley. Call me if you
need anything. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
