    Default bah...forgetful stoner friend...

    A few weeks ago a friend of mine (who I chill with regularly) asked me to design some flyers for a show his band was playing in. It was on REALLY short notice (like 2 days), but I thought it would be fun to do and good experience so I busted my ass to get the poster done, even though I had other things I probably should've been working on. He told me they'd pay me. They couldn't pay me too much, but it would at least be something.

    So now, a few weeks after, I been busy and haven't talked to him too much. I'm still waiting to a) get the original poster back to put in my portfolio, and b) get paid. I'm guessing that his lazy stoner ass has forgotten that I'm waiting to be reimbursed for the time and effort I put into that poster. Plus I'm flat-ass broke and could really use the money.

    How do I casually remind him about his promise without sounding all, "Hey, gimme my money, bitch!"?

    I can't say I'm really surprised if he's forgotten.

    Just bring it up casually next time you see him..."hey..when you get a chance i need that poster back to put in my portfolio. When do you think you could get it to me...and I can grab the check from you then too"

    Hmm, well you could call him up and ask him to lunch. Say specifically that you want to see how the show went, did anyone mention the poster, btw, you want to go ahead and get the poster back to put in your portfolio. And for his convenience, you don't mind a check or cash for the payment. Then make a date for your meal, and *hopefully* he comes with everything you discussed on the phone..
    Just slip the whole payment thing into the convo easily. Like it's no big deal, but you do want to make sure it's stated and that he understands.
