Weird enough dream last night that it's bringing me out of "hiding." And I never dream about youse people, and I think I've met Don'tffeartheringo exactly once for a handshake at one the BBQs - and that was it. Unless I met him somewhere along the line back in the day.In the dream, I'm aware of a gig I'm involved in that's about to take place, but first we have to go help the other drummer get his gear to wherever the venue is. It's DFTR. His gear is stored in a warehouse just inside the loading dock, he says.In the warehouse, a small pickup truck with a camper back drives up a succession of cars and boxes and equipment stacked almost to the ceiling, which is about 30 feet. It comes to a stop atop another vehicle, the roof of which is formed to perfectly accept the wheels and chassis of the aforementioned vehicle.Anyway, I'm thinking, "Whoa, there's something you don't see every day," and DFTR comes up and says "OK, my stuff's all ready, we just have to get it out of my space. His space is behind a small panel cut into the wall up about 20 feet from the floor with no stairs leading to it.He throws a ladder up there, but suddenly there's a platform to stand on just below the panel, as I somehow have a adapted the dream to make it feasible to extract gear from this inconvenient location. So DFTR starts handing down crates of drum hardware and gear. "Careful with the drinks, Mike," he says. There are various coctails and chilled bottles of beer randomly placed in the crates along with the kick drum pedals, sticks and whatnot. I'm trying to carry these things wondering about the room behind the panel, wondering why he has packed drinks loosely into his gear crates, and that's about as much as I remember.That's it.
