epic dream. arrived somewhere barefoot, lost luggage. took endless, war damaged series of escalators to some sort of hotel-opera complex. – 01:48 PM GMT
stopped off at cafe (“CAFÉ L’OPÉRA”) just off escalators before checking in. Dress code. I was wearing shorts and a dirty, damaged shirt. – 01:51 PM GMT
Since we were literally in a theater, we were sent to costumes. They set us up with nineteeth-century formal garb. We went back to the cafe. – 01:52 PM GMT
The cafe was old-fashioned, high ceilings, 1920s brown wood paneling, brass and glass fixtures, cafe chairs, pastry carts. Line out door. – 01:54 PM GMT
Somehow we got seated, with strangers. Everyone was excited, twittering, selfies, leaning into the shots. Brunch food, daylight outside. – 01:55 PM GMT
Then the floor show started. Pandemonium, like the audience at Rocky Horror. But the show. Oh my god, brain. The show. – 01:56 PM GMT
“Cafe l’Opera is proud to present our *regular matinee* production of Breakfast at Tiffany’s: The Musical, starring… JOAN CRAWFORD!!!” – 01:59 PM GMT
first of all, what – 02:00 PM GMT
second of all, how, what – oh, right, it’s a dream – 02:00 PM GMT
So the lights come up on a section of floor, no stage. ‘40s Joan is on the mic. No little black dress, man, but a huge glittering show gown. – 02:02 PM GMT
Tiara. She grips the mic, looks around at the room, slurs something to the audience, and cues the band. She’s as ripped as Courtney Love. – 02:03 PM GMT
Everything’s in black and white. As she goes to belt a line, she accidentally whacks her tiara with the mic and it falls off. – 02:05 PM GMT
She can’t hold the mic still in front if her mouth so her levels are out of control. Doesn’t matter. Crowd knows every word, roars along. – 02:06 PM GMT
People are throwing shit, rice, teacups, bits of cake. Like I said, like Rocky Horror. I think the stuff is cued to lyrics. – 02:06 PM GMT
Sadly, brain declined to extemporaneously provide the libretto for this operetta, so I can only assure you it was finely crafted louche wit. – 02:08 PM GMT
Then I woke up. Guess I never get to see our room. – 02:08 PM GMT

@mcgee_gorgo @arthurwyatt is there a skullscale? do we rate it based on the appearance of prop skulls or plot skulls? – 01:10 AM GMT
@mcgee_gorgo @arthurwyatt if plot skulls, let us take Hamlet as a benchmark, and move forward – 01:11 AM GMT

@mcgee_gorgo @arthurwyatt Mistfits, “I Want Your Skull,” a never to be surpassed masterwork – 01:13 AM GMT
@mcgee_gorgo @arthurwyatt Misfits, “Skulls”, I mean. I regret the misattribution – 01:14 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt @mcgee_gorgo Skullbots, skull-shaped cars, spaceships made of skulls – 01:15 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt @mcgee_gorgo also borderline prop-only, therefore the minimum baseline for plot-skull admission. new genre in which WS is zero! – 01:16 AM GMT

@arthurwyatt @mcgee_gorgo APOCALYPSE NOW fails skull-plot test. – 01:19 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt @mcgee_gorgo Insects, spiders, and other non-skeletal lifeforms lack true skulls, and therefore have no place. – 01:20 AM GMT
@mcgee_gorgo @arthurwyatt Insects? Spiders? Worms? WE DEMAND IT TO BE FED TO THE FLAMES – 01:22 AM GMT
