I had a rather interesting dream last night--I was at
a smallish Tori Amos concert, some sort of small pre tour warmup gig or
something. What's odd is that this dream has ties to a *previous*
dream of this nature. It's not exactly a recurring dream--more like
a continuation. There were people there talking about this gig from
the other dream. Strange thing is--in the dream I knew about this
other gig, and answered their argument about the name of the place-it was
this little hole in the wall up in Humboldt County, California, called
(appropriately enough) the "Dew Drop Inn"...and i remember Tori made a
hubbub about it because that was the name of the 96 tour and she just *had*
to play there. I also remember as an aside, realizing that the dream
came out of a post on a tori amos website about the name of the venue Cassandra
played (in One Crazy Summer) being the same...and the fact that
I was about to see tori in Cali (the 98 tour).
I remember getting to the venue, and, just like the other
dream, realizing I didn't have much time to set up my recording equipment,
so i started setting everything up right there at my seat...and got caught
by security just as *someone* was coming on stage. The man who caught me
sent me back to see this other guy...and here's yet another strange thing--I
RECOGNIZED this short but stout black man. He talked with me for
a few minutes about taping and told me to give him the tape...I did so
and then he told me he was taping everything himself. I asked for
a copy of the show but he ignored me, turned up his walkman (i noticed
it was MXPX and almost offered a clone of my recent show) and left me there
in the bathroom (conveniently)...so I began to set up my rig (which, I
noticed, included the Neumann Mics I so desperately want but can't afford),
all nervous and jittery cuz I was missing part of the show (which I couldn't
really hear too well) Finally got everything together (i had an extra
blank, as ALWAYS!, when I heard the music stop...at which point I breathed
a sigh of relief--it had to have been an opening act having been so short...
So I walked out, all rigged up, and Tori walked out on stage a few minutes l8r. Unlike the other dream where I was treated to the show, however, that's where I woke up, looked over at the clock, realized it was 0100, and rolled back over to sleep again.
I'm going to find the entry where I talked about that
other dream and make a link...
