Being very visual, former Suit Ms KATIE decided to set a placeholder on the MENU of her JEDEMI website for THE CANTINA (Shhh! Web Guy doesn’t know). Ideas are FLYING and she’s working fast (and furiously) to get it all down while ALSO…
Yeah… the ‘splaining thing. She wants to take this the next level, beyond the friendly confines of her household (That would be RC THE GREMLIN and MR SQUEEK the WANDER / WONDER KAT).
So make it visual but not YET be in the business of taking (and fulfilling) orders. Is that even possible?
Sure, why not ??
The proverbial “SOUNDING BOARD” needs to happen. And if anyone happens to stumble into The Cantina, for now they’ll get what’s being called a “knot-hole” experience. Heck, that “anyone” could … become a “member of the sounding board” as this concept gets fleshed out, right?
At least that’s the thinking around the WESTSIDE as Ms KATIE flies… faster than Zup in his MODEL J (as in JOBY). Just sayin’…
So let’s listen in some more to what’s kicking around in the head of Ms. Katie… —The Gang
Let us begin, shall we ??
FADE IN:
INT. KATIE’S HOME OFFICE
There are several windows open on Katie’s desktop as she thinks through her thoughts.
KATIE INNER
I should… imagine someone arriving at… THE CANTINA. Yeah, that’s a good start.
She looks at the top menu of her WEBSITE’s landing page.
KATIE INNER
Let’s do traditional first… Someone comes to JEDEMI and clicks on CANTINA — the TAB on the TOP MENU.
Then she laughs as she hears the MUSIC. Shaking her head, she continues.
KATIE INNER
This CANTINA is like… where you can pick up PROVISIONs for your DragonBustR journey… Maybe some pointers too… like…
Standing to stretch, she flips through some pages in a BINDER, and then returns to her keyboard.
KATIE INNER
The SHOPIFY site, for now, is strictly the GO-TO for THE KITs… POUCH and SATCHEL-PAK with the ingredients for jumpstarting your DBRs TIMEOUTS. But… there’s more to the MEAL, right?
Scanning the BOOKSHELVES in her OFFICE, she smiles.
The READING aspect of the DBRs TIMEOUT… Best fulfilled by AMAZON. Maybe folks here have PRIME already, so they’ve locked in the FREE SHIPPING. In that case, clicking to the READING …
She jumps up. Eyes get BIG.
KATIE
For real?
Noticing her excitement, is her Pal, RC THE GREMLIN. He’s been silently observing while sipping on the 4AM coffee from the ubiquitous TRIGGER MUG. He clears his throat.
RC THE GREMLIN
Uh… Mornin’ Sunshine! Whatcha got there?
KATIE
Ah! It’s you, pally pal. 4A treating you well?
RC THE GREMLIN
Indeed… Now… show me…
KATIE
Well… Silly but look… The 3Rs have Reading as an “R” – right?
RC THE GREMLIN
Yes, and…
KATIE
DING!
He gives her a look and she repeats.
KATIE
DING !! You see? It’s REA-DING!
DING !! You see? It’s REA-DING!
RC motions… thumb top of head, pinky finger pointing skyward.
RC THE GREMLIN
That DING! ??
DING!Thing…
KATIE
Yeah… Think about it… Our CURATED REA-DING! List with links to AMAZON… jumpstarts …
Putting the DING! into it…
RC THE GREMLIN
Ah… So we make some recommendations and then… LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN, right?
KATIE
Correct. This isn’t a RECIPE or HOW TO… this is just material gathering or … ingredients. Pick your metaphor — HOME IMPROVEMENT or COOKING… right?
RC THE GREMLIN
Like… Yeah… Like it… I can see my eyes the DING! aspects. Makes sense and … fits the GENRE so to speak. You nailed that one.
Noticing both his and her TRIGGER MUGS are empty, he motions towards the KITCHEN.
Trigger Mug…
RC THE GREMLIN
Fill ‘er up?
She follows him.
KATIE
A stretch I could use… But maybe a crossover to SPURS… these MUGS double as hand warmers AND… my mouse hand gets mighty cold.
RC THE GREMLIN
Gotcha!
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. KATIE’S KITCHEN
Now, in the kitchen, both RC and KATIE are holding their MUGS containing HOT WATER.
RC THE GREMLIN
I see what ya mean…
Holds up the MUG.
RC THE GREMLIN
These are UNIQUE…
Grabbing another from the cabinet, he checks the bottom.
RC THE GREMLIN
BENNINGTON?
KATIE
Grew up with these… Dad was raised in…
RC THE GREMLIN
Green Mountains! Nice!
She grabs a nearby PEN and jots down some notes on an 11×14 LEGAL SHEET of paper on her KITCHEN TABLE. He observes.
KATIE
See … Now this… is something I’d link to … In magazines back in the day when PRINT ruled… you’d find REFERENCES at the end of an article: WHERE TO GET… It would be something like that.
RC THE GREMLIN
I see. You don’t want to … disrupt the FLOW of a piece, but DO want to make it easy for someone to LEARN MORE ABOUT ‘slash’ OBTAIN… Makes sense.
KATIE
Gotta work on a name… FAVOURITE THINGS could be a WORKING TITLE for now. Let’s consider it the NON-AMAZON section…
She pauses.
KATIE
Then again… we have FAVOURITE THINGS on PRIME…
RC THE GREMLIN
So call it ON PRIME and OFF PRIME. How’s that?
So call it ON PRIME and OFF PRIME. How’s that?
Scribbling that down, she then steps back.
KATIE
Categories ON PRIME include…
More scribbling…
Virtual White Board…
RC THE GREMLIN
I like how these 11x14s have become your WHITE BOARD.
KATIE
Right?
Stay tuned…
To Be Continued…
Katie with the help of RC “THINKS” through her CANTINA concept and how it plays out. What he doesn’t know… is that … in the back of her mind, there’s a GREETER position open at THE CANTINA, and she has already PENCILED IN who that’ll be.
Any Guesses???
LOL!
Okay… enjoy the music!
Got you curious to learn WHAT. COMES. NEXT., right?
Well… Honestly… So are we. Patience we’re practicing (SOOOO HARD!!).
