It was school science project time and stevem and I had teamed up to build a robot (that looked suspiciously like one of the two-legged walkers in Star Wars) in some kind of box-shaped diorama. Our robot was pretty cool and we were pretty confident of winning.
So we set off to school along the Thames in a tiny boat. Soon though Caitlin pulled alongside us in a boat powered (incredibly quickly) by nothing more than rubber bands. There was no doubt that Caitlin would beat us in the science competition, but to make sure, she torpedoed us with her fast boat, leaving us floudering in the water as our robot/diorama got chewed up by a nearby hydroelectric dam.
What could it mean?

1. I had a drink with John McLaughlin of the Mahavishnu Orchestra (so this is more of an ILM dream than an ILX dream)
2. Me and my brother went to see the premier performance of John's new piece - which was about Ruth Ellis (you know, the last woman to be hanged in Britain) but was entitled "June Walter Ellis".
3. The performance took place in a shop with the "musicians" sitting behind counters.
4. They did a version of "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand, another song was written by... Brian Auger!
5. As the last piece of music started, a spotty bespectacled nerd stood up in front of the stage/counter and started offering a critique of the night's performance - saying it was regrettable Mr. McLaughlin was not playing "more notes" and, bemoaning the fact that he was no longer playing "skinhead funk", stated, "Playing six notes endlessly - no matter how well played - is not sufficient." (maybe it was Geir?)
6. Part of the performance involved Madonna getting her head shaved.
7. The music consisted of really powerful and melodic feedback drones which "John McLaughlin" was controlling by means of pedals. He did not have a guitar.
8. The rest of the music was coming from a device which was being attended to by several earnest young men - this device, frankly, was a laser printer.
9. I said to my brother, "Can you guess what age he is?" My brother said "34", but it was obvious he was referring to a piece of musical equipment and not to John McLaughlin.

rosemary and i were comparing our matching costume-jewelry rings that we got at some tween store in the mall
miccio borrowed a couple of tapes of russian trad-folk songs from me so he could make copies
ally wanted to know why i always said "beautiful" in a sarcastic voice whenever something bad happened (i made up some multisyllabic german word to describe the phenomenon)
(and karen o was at the party too. she couldn't find her shoes and she was yelling at me because she thought they were under a pile of books i left on the floor.)

..someone on ILX either recently said they used to make crop circles for fun in high school, or that may have been a dream too.

I was living in a ground-floor flat, and RJG and Ally C were living two floors above me. They were having a party. I leaned out of my living-room window, and saw them dropping tennis balls and cuddly toys out of theirs.
