I sit here sleepless in Upstate New York. Doesn't have the same ring as Seattle, does it? Up since 3:30am, "woke" with Tree Trim Fever. And yes, that's a real thing. When your mind is abuzz with "what to give Aunt Sadie" and "where did I put the damn wrapping paper" and "why can't I eat a whole panettone for dinner if I want to" kind of buzz. My cat certainly doesn't get it. Me, traipsing about in my old ratty bathrobe, in the middle of the night, brewing, blogging, buzzing...and around 10am I need an effing nap!
All this to say I need a good dream. So if I can't get an actual noctornal novel playing out under my eye lids, I'll play one (or 17) on Sunday. I've done dream shows before (I guess I long for one, or 17), but hopefully there are enough newbies (or new juxtapositions) to keep you non-nappy. The trouble with all these dreamy songs is, however, you may actually be lulled to sleep! They aren't exactly peppy. Please try to stifle your yawns. I can hear them, you know.
We WILL get to Christmas Broadway eventually (Dec.23!), but perhaps to keep us less abuzz, breathe, Barcalounge, and bask in such stuff as dreams are made on. Broadway!
