Welcome to the Black Parade? Temple flashmob?

Post by Fade Monkey » Thu Jun 29, 2017 1:10 pm

Before I went to bed last night, I drank a homemade gin martini with a splash of lemonade. I'm not sure what made me do it, but there it was - in front of me at midnight. I had just watched the latest episode of Twin Peaks and I guess I needed a little something to settle my nerves. After the drink and a little painting... I went to sleep.

So there I am. Asleep. And I'm dreaming. I'm on Playa and floating between the man and the temple. As I approach the temple, people surround the place in various states of tranquility. I vaguely hear a marching cadence from a snare drum in the distance. At the temple entrance is a muscular pyro boy with snare slung low tapping out the cadence. I start walking in time to the marching beat and hear a single person sing "When I was a young boy my father took me into the city to see a marching band..."

Everyone sitting, lying, and standing around the temple turned to face the entrance and continued singing in unison "He said, son when you grow up, would you be the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?" A tear came to my eye as everyone sang The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance.

Now, I have to interrupt myself at this point to say ... I'm notoriously hard to wake up in the morning so I have multiple alarms set with the final kicker being my Sonos speakers which come on and blast a random song into my sleeping brain.

... of course, this is exactly what happened, but what if it REALLY HAPPENED? Is anyone down? Can we do this?

O. I really want to do this.

Anyone else want to do this?

You made homemade gin? I'm impressed.

Ha ha ha ... I started with someone else's moonshine; so, it's not THAT impressive. :lol:

Besides, I think you missed the whole point of my story up there: I watched episode 8 of Twin Peaks season 3 without Gin.
