Salina, nineteen years old, has an older colleague at work, who knows the roadies manager of one of Germany’s best know pop stars. It so happens that this famous pop star is touring Germany (it’s a question whether he does any else but tour Germany) and is giving a concert in a city not too far away from where Salina lives. Salina is invited by her colleague to come with her to meet The Gang.
Nervous, excited, a bit overwhelmed, Salina finds herself, the afternoon before the concert, sitting almost, practically nearly next to this pop star and all of the technicians, musicians, managers etc. in their hotel restaurant. The waitress comes over to ask what everyone wants to drink. She takes Salina’s order first. Wanting to appear cool, chic, and ever so worldly, Salina orders a martini. The waitress then proceeds to take the rest of the orders: coffee, coffee, a coke, coffee, lemonade, a coffee… You got it, no one orders alcohol; the band and roadies are just beginning their day’s work. There’s Salina, with her martini in hand, fwishing she could melt into the floor.
