dream!

strange poetry centered dreams last night...poets who i know who were there:

me
Brandon Brown
Armand C.
David Larsen
Myung Mi Kim
Susan Gevirtz
Tao Lin

i remember me and Corey Haim rolerblading into Myung's SPT reading wearing the Prayer of the Rollerboys gear (grey trenchcoats, spikey gelled hair)...i remember Brandon going like, "what the hell are you doing with Corey Haim?"...i remember that Myung's reading was actually a Hollywood premire of some sort, that CCA/SPT was actually this huge airplane hanger...i remember me, Armand and Brandon sort of hanging out there for a little bit following Corey around as he was trying to get attention from Hollywood bigwigs...i remember David reminding us of Myung's reading that we were already late for...i remember seeing Myung...she had handed out these amazing scrolls of her work...sheets and sheets of paper of all different sizes and colors...she was reading her new "book"...she had passed out copies of her new "book" to the entire audence...i remember the audience was made up of thousands...i remember seeing Susan Gevirtz in the crowd...Susan looked dissapointed that i still had my rollerblades on...i took off my rollerblades...Myung read the book...the entire audience followed along with their own copies...and then suddenly i'm Tao Lin...like, i became Tao Lin...and someone was telling me that my book from Action Press just got voted the 5th best poetry book of all time...and then i started speaking like Tao writes, you know, like "and because i was Tao Lin in this dream, i was speaking like Tao Lin writes on his blog, becasue the way Tao Lin writes on his blog is the way Tao Lin thinks, and when i think things i want to speak them sometimes, so the way i speak those things sound like the way i think"...yeah, like that.

anyway, lot's more to it than that...i know LRSN had a much bigger role than reminding us that we were late for Myung's reading...it's sketchy though...something about a mansion in the hills (Oakland?) at night...can't really remember.

anyway, that was all a sort of preamble to...
