First: it is always a good choice to have Pam work at Chili's.
Well, this is a sad start - Pam coming to grips with the limits of her dreams, Jim discovering the limits of his abilities. Maybe they both need someone to believe in them right now...
I like the way you built up the setting here. And you did good work building the song lyrics into this.
Author's Response: Aw thank you DJC! You managed to comment on all the things I was thinking about after posting this story, so many thanks for that. Hope you enjoy!

Well this looks promising. Pam out and on her own trying to make a name for herself as West Coast artist. Props for the courage to move out there and go for it. Kind of slim pickings at the moment though.
Creed as a bartender seems like a hoot and a half.
And here's Jim or James. Though it seems like he's only here on business. Even still for only meeting the Jim/Pam banter we all know and love feels like it's coming across. Her suggesting Disneyland for example.
Great start. Looking forward to seeing where we go from here.
Author's Response: Thanks, warrior! Yep, just a normal business trip for James here. So far anyway. Glad you're enjoying!

Excellent! Another LA story. The bar is in Manhattan or north Hermosa Beach!
Author's Response: Ooh I honestly wasn't imagining either of those but I LOVE Hermosa Beach... you're giving me ideas!

I love this! This is such a great start and I'm really excited to see where this goes.
Day drinking? Check. Hot Jim with sleeves rolled up. Check check. Pamma Jamma getting their flirt on? Checkity check check!
Author's Response: Thanks, beth! Jam in bars is kinda your thing so I'm glad you liked this LOL!

Ah a fic based on a song and one I already know. I love when I’m introduced to a new song but when I know it I can sing along as I read. Song fics kinda my jam and this one was fun. (Pun intended) You’ve done a nice job with the set up and mixing the lyrics and the story.
Look forward to where this goes.
Author's Response: I'm so excited that you know the song too! This is one of my favorites. More of a feel-good than a soulful journey, but Jam tends to bring out the soul in things... thank you for reading!

I love a good meet cute and this was no exception. A bar with the phone in the bathroom and two people who need some cheering up. ;) You set the scene perfectly and I am SO excited to see where you take this. Give me California Jam any day of the week!
Author's Response: California Jam is my jam, so you're in luck! Thanks for the review~

This is SO ADORABLE!! Aah girl, I’m so excited for this story! That last line, the “But they’re nothing like Jimmy and me” is KILLING ME! And keeping me hooked (even as hungover as I am right now).
100/10, girl!
Author's Response: Haha, I have to give Sheryl Crow some credit where credit is due cause I definitely took that from a line in her song. But I love it too! Glad you like the story so far!

I love this already. I love picturing Jim and Pam in California, so please feel free to keep writing that. I also love how this is so different to canon but you still so easily slip in canon references. Creed is amazing. The phone being in the bathroom is so spot on. I can't wait to see what happens next!!
Author's Response: Thank you aly! I'm having so much fun writing Creed since I hardly ever do that. He fits in so well with the craziness of LA. Hope you enjoy!
