Friends in taxis (feat. The Ghostbusters)
Had a dream last night where Laura was at my house. Well, actually, she was just leaving. We ordered two taxis to go to different places and she said that she’d go in whichever one turned up first. She waited outside and after a while I went out but I couldn’t see her.
Later, I was in HMV in town. Prince William was also there. An old friend, Andrei, was there too and he told me that Matthew McConaughey was in town. I pretended I’d already seen him. It started raining, so we walked back home under a duvet. On the way, a taxi turned up and Andrei got in it. He offered me a lift home, but I just ran off. I got my phone out to get directions, but a kid jumped over the fence and nicked my phone.
Later still, I was arriving at a hotel/restaurant that was designed specifically for people who worked in B2B companies. As I got to the entrance, a taxi went past and I saw that Laura was in it. I met up with Goodwin and we bumped into his friend, Kristian, who was with his girlfriend. They were off to see Donovan in concert, but to make it sound cooler, he described it as “the heavy noise of Donovan.”
We dropped our things off in a hotel room and left to go into town. A kid stopped us and asked if we smoked weed. I told him we didn’t and he said, ‘Nobody smokes weed around here, this is our place.’
He then gave chase, so we ran off back to the hotel to find a taxi or an ATM machine. We eventually found an ATM hidden in a cupboard under the stairs. There was also a phone built into the ATM. The phone was called Isobel. I pretended I couldn’t find it by saying, ‘I can’t see it, you’re having me on.’
I called the Ghostbusters and asked them to come and help us. They arrived – it was the 4 females from the latest film – and asked the receptionist to call someone. The receptionist called them and spoke really loudly down the phone. One of the Ghostbusters said, ‘Sorry, could you talk a bit louder, they are private details.’
Once the receptionist had finished on the phone, Holtzmann (one of the Ghostbusters) started talking, but there were three women at the top of the stairs who started talking over her.
I turned to Mike (who had apparently turned up) and asked, ‘Is this meant to be funny?’
One of the women on the stairs made a bad joke and nobody laughed. She started complaining, ‘See that got a laugh in the read through.’
It was weird, because although it was a continuation of the dream, we were watching them perform live, so I said to Mike ‘I didn’t know they did this in live action films.’
