I''m out at a bar with Sarah and Alex. There's a band playing and people are dancing and we're having a great time. I look at my watch and it's 1:30!

A bunch of us are at a Coney Island having lunch. After everyone's done eating I order a meat pie and a small beer. Then everyone pays. Sarah and Hannah are in line at the register. When it's my turn I give the cashier a $10 bill. Someone had cut ut the presidential portrait and I hope the cashier doesn't notice She puts it on top of a stack of bills and tells me she doesn't have change for a hundred. I explain that it was a ten. She gives me some change with includes a coupe of colorful foreign bills that are wrapped in clear plastic. (Colorful foreign money is a common occurrence in my dreams).

I'm walking across town on 8 Mile Road. It's all built up like Midtown Manhattan. There are skyscrapers and the buildings are all banks and investment firms I've never heard of. And there are tons of people out shopping and walking around. Then I enter a more desolate part of town. There's a huge pile of palettes with various goods on them. I climb up it and discover there are tons of goods that have been stored there to create shortages, so the big corporations can price gouge. I find packages with two huge Hershey's Kisses in them and all sorts of other stuff. I start yelling down to the people who are gathering to go get the news crews and investigate. We keep shouting, "Get the news reporters!" because we fear that if it doesn't get exposed, we'll get bumped off!

Right before I went to bed, I read a passage in a book that dealt with a girl getting high on weed for the first time. She gets real paranoid and tries to calm herself down.Then, in my dream, someone was passing around a tiny hash pipe. I took a couple hits off it and got a little buzzed. Then I tried to feel normal again, a bit like the passage in the book!

I'm on Belle Isle with a group of people. They're sitting around a big table playing some kind of game. I walk away to take some photographs. I have a 2 1/4 square camera. I take a picture of some birch trees and some fishing rods on a bridge. I'm at the end of the roll and I go into a gift shop owned by the Illitches. The film is super expensive--$15 for an 8 exposure roll and $17 for a 12 exposure one. Jeff is working at the store and I say out loud that I'm not wild about giving money to the owner of the store, but I buy a roll anyway.

I'm traveling around England and my camera is stuck on the 25th exposure.

I'm riding on the Magic Buss with a bunch of hippies. We end up way ut in the middle of nowhere.

I'm at work and I was supposed to write an essay about myself. Someone asks how fresh the ketchup is. "Steve Noxon brought it." I said there was some old stuff but it was thrown out. If you're going to puke, do it in the corner where Steve sits.

I was outside a bar and I was going to recite a poem or sing a song about booze. !/2 the folks were going to focus on not drinking and the other half were going to focus on drinking. I was going to pretend it was about not drinking and then switch!

Then I was in a bar and we were getting ready to leave. The guy I was with was getting ready to pick up the tab. On our way out, a there was a table full of people we came with. 

I was in Paris with Andy. We had just gotten there and were trying to find our way to the hotel. I found a hotel and went into a room. There were a few glasses 1/2 filled with booze and ice. It was someone elses room and was about to be cleaned. I left, and then we were in a car looking for a gas station. They all seemed to be either closed or out of business. Finally we found one that was owned by an Arabic guy. He gave us both a bowl of soup. It was basically broth with small pieces of meat in it. As much as we tried to finish it, the bowl somehow remained almost full.

I'm at some people's house who live on University at the corner of Vernor. I notice there are safety pins on all the sheets. I ask if it's a Grosse Pointe thing and they tell me it's a Jewish tradition and people are carrying it on. As we go to leave we start talking about food and I mention they we're both foodies and that we're sure to start seeing each other in the near future. Their names are Bill & Mellissa. I look for a business card to hand to them.
