Comment:

The Gangsters of Love ended their
2006 reunion tour on good terms. The Penguin's orphanage was saved. SammyG and Blasikin went back to their fry cook jobs at Aretha's southside diner; Tornadoz reluctantly returned to his position as maitre at chic restaurant "Chez Paul".

Just as the boys were settling back into the daily grind, a mysterious letter landed on the doorsteps of Gangster Tornadoz:

Dear Sirs,

Your polka-funk remix of song Mac Arthur Park is wonderous hit on Albania radio! We wish to have you tour our country! Gangsters of Love are famous here!.

Before the Gangsters knew it, they were back on tour, trekking across Eastern Europe. Crowds of children followed them everywhere with glee, shouting their online handles. The Gangsters had not experienced this kind of excitement since their 70s heyday in South El Monte.
Valentine's Day morning at a Montenegro train station, a young girl, head wrapped in a flowery scarf, ran after the band's train as it departed. She stretched out her arm, holding a flat package. Blasikin reached out the window and took the package, thanking the child. As the train sped on, Blasikin unwrapped the gift and pulled out a homemade cd case. The other Gangsters leaned in as he popped the enclosed cd into the band's boom box and pressed play.

Excellent! I love the Magnetic Fields -> Chopin bit at the end there. Hope this is on rotation at Chez Paul. You make a great team - but who's who in the picture, that's the question.

I love you guys! If you could extend your tour to include the North West of England, I can guarantee a warm reception. I have, at least two friends who also love you guys. Great mix! In the words of my son, Jack -- "Moosh!"

'Let's play the theme from the Dinah Shore Show, who wants to be Dinah Shore?' Terrific stuff on every count.

Your story works because the reader had grown to care about the characters--and because the mix looks cool.
