I was in a brainstorming session where we were trying to figure out how to get people to slow down driving on a certain stretch of the road. We only have $500 to work with. I come up with the idea of putting the image of a fire engine on a sign. I keep bragging about what a brilliant idea it is.

I was going to help David Detloff move from East Lansing back to GP. First we had to take a bunch of his boxes to Lauren Sargent's place and I told him if he went swimming instead of helping, I won't help him move. I spot him swimming so I quit. Then I'm in a tent and there's a Christians vs. Pagans hockey game only each side only has one hockey stick. I'm on the sidelines and take a couple shots and score the winning goal.

I was with a bunch of women and we were discussing religion. One woman had messed up hair and we talked about being an Orthodox Jew.

I was with Mike Mengdan and we were talking about the MC5. I looked down and my foot was all bloody for no apparent reason.

I'm checking out the GPYC for a slip. It's $800 a month. There's a waiting list. A black guy gets one. In the dining room he's informed that he has to spend $200 a month on meals. Theres a new pier going in next door. I walk through the club. I'm in a huge room where you wait for your car. There are old tiles on the walls--it's probably going to be repainted. I walk into a big room where Jeff is conducting an auction. There's all sorts of stuff for sale. He gives me a small wooden chair and a kneeler from 1909. 

Joe and I are going to a Star Wars movie. There's a long line for tickets. I take a dump but don't have time to wipe. The theatre is in an outdoor mall and I see a bunch of portapotties. Then I spot Joe--part of the theatre is in a bunch counter.

I get a job at a small ad agency at Northland. They only have one small account. (A stage play?) I go over to D'Arcy and I was freelancing there for 3-1/2 years and run into Greg Moy. I give him my telephone number. Then I get a haircut. I look like a prisoner--it's super short on the sides. I go back to D'Arcy and joke about the haircut. 

I meet a guy who's from Plymouth, MI. I ask him if he knows Tony Ruda and he doesn't. Then we're waiting for some act to go on an Tony's. He's having a jazz festival in his yard.

I'm out in the country. We're exploring a tunnel with a river inside it. At the opening there is a pile of trash. We get to one the has a bunch of blue tackle boxes in it. When we open up one of them there are two tiny benches in it. We turn it right side up and when it's exposed to sunlight a message appears on it. It tells us our fortune. 

Someone gives me a bottle of cologne. When I smell it it smells like perfume. Someone says to let it breathe and it'll smell more masculine.

I'm in Germany shooting a wedding. I'm arranging all kinds of different poses involving a dining room table. I photograph the bride and grooms hands touching. I keep fore=getting the groom's name and I fake it several times. 

I'm in college and everyone is going to Chicago for a big annual blowout weekend. Then I'm at Gorman's Furniture. Doug Stone works there I talk to him and a writer who does their ads. I mention some of the best ones I did. Then I go back and meet  Doug and I say, "Can you guess who I am"? We talk about old times.
