Last night I had a strange dream about Kevin Smith & Co. Had something to do with a party he hosted. Seemed like a wrap party, or a fan party...the dream started as we arrived...I've never had a viewaskew related dream before...and this one was really vivid. Almost seemed real.
A buddy of mine works in the media, and somehow we got invited to a party hosted by Kevin Smith. We headed over to a really big house, and there were 100-150 people chattin it up. We didn't know anybody there. So we mingled and talked to a few people.
Kevin was walking around talking to people. All down to earth like we see him in the special features on the DVDs. Makin small talk and shit. So he came over to us and I said hi..yadayada.
Then he continued to the other end of the hall. So I ventured over to see what was happening there. Kevin waves me into a smaller room with a smaller amount of people and I sit down with my beer. I had a quick chat with him about Roadside Attractions and how much he appriciated his fans. (Shut the fuck up you mini-poster fucks...)
He handed me a J and I took a hit. We chatted and had a few beers. Then shortly after I 'nodded off'. Next thing I knew it was morning, and someone was tossing me into a spare bedroom. I got up and there was silence like something bad had happened.
I saw Kevin and he looked really stressed. He said that 'Ben had flipped out'. (I suspect the party was related to Jersey Girl). Knowing that I'd 'passed out' at the party, or at least had little memory of the events, I asked if I had done anything to piss him off. He said no...
Then he told me Ben took something and started yelling and throwing shit around at the party..and just about everyone had left...Ben was sleeping it off. My buddy wasn't around at this point, so I figure he left earlier.
Then I was sitting at a kitchen table with Kevin and a few other people. The TV was on and a peice about Kevin was on...a small lunch was served.
Then we sat around and Jay showed up. Except he didn't look like his character at all. His hair was different, and it looked like he put on a couple of pounds...just a little bigger in the face. There were a few other people there and we chatted for a bit.
Then Kevin announced he was heading out and everyone had to go.
On the way out, I looked in the room where I'd been partying the night before. Sitting there, fried, was Ben wrapped in a blanket.
Then I left and I woke up.
Now...as I said before...never had a dream about Kevin or any viewaskew characters before. But this party seemed, sounded, and even some things felt real. One of the craziest and most detailed dreams I've ever had. I know that the Kevin I talked to was only my interpretation of him...but it was still a neat 'experience'....crazy or what?
