Best Show Dreams?

Elsdon, please post more.  You're like the reincarnation of Flooney!

[Come on, Jason]

I dreamed I called in on a land line and Mike rejected my call because my "cell-phone" connection was bad.

In an otherwise totally non-best show related dream, I found a graphic novel written by Tom Scharpling, and I was upset he hadn't let me draw it. I was still excited to read it though!

Hey Tom, let me draw your comic! If you do, we will put Marvel out of business.

Why must you tempt us with such promises, Killah?!

I know, I miss Elsdon already.

I dreamt that I found a jacket on the sidewalk that was very similar to a jacket I already own, but pinstriped. When I examined it, I saw that it had a tag on it that said "Spoony." It fit me perfectly!

In real life, the only social encounter that I've had as a result of my Gorch shirt was some guy who walked up to me and said "I don't understand your shirt" in a tone that suggested I was causing him some frustration by wearing an obscure t-shirt.

that exact thing is the reason i've yet to break out my Scar Face shirt. i feel like the chance it will be recognized by an FOT is not worth the flood of people telling me its the wrong quote and not understanding its a joke, maybe even getting mad at me.

I *think* there were a few FOTs in the audience at the Mountain Goats show, but I'm not sure.  No one commented on my Scar-face shirt but someone besides me did make a Philadelphia-related yell. I can't imagine how weird it would be to just coincidentally run into a FOT.

Last night, I dreamed I bumped into Tom at some sort of cafeteria. He had a huge afro.

Two Best Show dreams in one night! They may have been linked somehow but it's not necessary.

In the first Tom GOMPed Julie, but found she wouldn't leave. She took over the show.

In the second, I boarded the Best Show Bus, driven by Tom and populated by FOTs. Tom was wearing a drab city bus driver's uniform, and did not look at all like the pictures I've seen. Frankly, he looked awful. The bus only ran during the show, and while hosting live on air from the driver's seat, Tom would pick each FOT up in front of his or her home (he'd also drop them off again at the end of the night). He had one of those huge steering wheels mounted right in the middle of his mixing board.

I was pleased that Tom was much more polite and accommodating than I thought he'd be. When I realized halfway through the trip that I'd forgotten something at my house, he drove all the way back and cheerfully agreed to wait for me while I ran inside.

This is my first FOT dream, indeed my first ever FOT post.

Last night I dreamt that I was in Cincinnati waiting outside a local community center to attend a "Society of Yetta Lovers" meeting. The door was locked, and as people started to arrive I said, "So, are you guys here for the Yetta Lovers meeting?" "Yep," they replied. All in all, the Yetta lovers were not such a welcoming group, but I was glad to be there just the same.

[Julie]

Yetta Lovers are very welcoming. You would never find a locked door and Yetta is always in attendance. I hope you don't have anymore unhappy Yetta dreams. Unless you are trying to kill me, she will love you.

Also, I would never dream of taking over Tom's show. That other show is another story.

Last night I dreamt that Larry the Perv had somehow replaced Joe the Plumber, and no one noticed until it was too late.

In my dream:

I was "producing" this event Tom was hosting... some sort of live panel-quiz. Tom was crammed into a glass booth with a bunch of minor celebrities, with the two teams to be seated slightly above the booth on either side, in much better conditions. One of the teams was the Stereophonics, the other never showed up. I became increasingly concerned about health & safety as more and more minor celebrities piled into the booth, but Tom was far more concerned I get him an "Apple Frosting" - a type of cake - and a drink with a similarly insane name (that I've forgotten). I assured Tom that since we were somewhere in Eng-uh-land, none of the local bakers would carry, or would've ever heard of, this "Apple Frosting". He was insistent.

As I was hunting for the Apple Frosting, the whole thing digressed into me being terrorised at knife-point by a Street Punk from an 80s movie or videogame, only to be inadvertently rescued by Needles from Back to the Future II.

It was my first Best Show dream. I did not like it.

Last night I dreamnt that I was at a party at Jillian Barberie's house. Tom was there, but wasn't really socializing much because he was working on his Phd dissertation with a Kindle.
