Doing Stand-up at the Lai-Wah Pirate Den!

every now and again, i get a weird dream that feels SO INCREDIBLY real. like this...

I got asked to do stand-up at this chinese restaurant and i say yes. something happens before the gig and i have to pull out. i've been trying to contact the booker the whole day but things don't turn out. and it's weird cuz xle and her sister-in-law and my godchild are in it too. my lil sis was driving around campus and she picked me up and then i told her that i needed to stop by the restaurant first to iron things out cuz of the innate need to make things right. anyways, when i got into the restaurant, i was supposed to start my routine at 3pm and it was 3:20pm and i looked at the board of comedians, and my name was on top of the chalkboard but was erased rather hastily. there were other people's names on the list and there were like 12 other filipino comics, some i knew, some i didn't, like this guy mark aure, from the aac, who to my knowledge isn't a comedian, but he can hella draw! anyways, i finally got to talk to the manager who looked exactly like sftpaa past president and told her why i couldn't perform, like 20 minutes after i was supposed to be on stage. she just gave me this look of, not disappointment, but of hate! like i ate her baby or something. she said "get out" and to never set foot in her place again. Daymn Gina! of course i felt bad, but xle and family were waiting in the car, i HAVE NO IDEA where we are, cuz at first i thought we were at sac state cuz she was getting out of class, but then when we were driving out of the place, all i see were trees. i guess i was late too, cuz lil sis didn't even wait for me to get in the car before backing out of the parking space. she just backed out and i opened the moving car's door and jumped in. and for some reason i couldn't close my rear passenger side door so her-sister-in-law had to shut my door from hanging outside her front passenger door and slamming it shut. wtf? and when i looked into the bubbie's carseat, she wasn't in there, but she was standing next to it talking to herself as if she was in the carseat.

more details...
- the room where i was to do my routine in was in the back part of the restaurant overlooking the ocean
- the theme in the back was like a pirate theme cuz there was a pirate ship in the harbor... wtf? a pirate theme in a chinese restaurant?!?
- xle was running late too cuz she was looking for a jacket for sfsu lfs president... so random?!?
- there was this black couple wondering if they should eat at the restaurant so they were looking at the menu board and noticed the party in the back and were commenting on the pirate ship.
- i looked at the board where they had a sheet of entertainers. it was in an excel spreadsheet, and my name was still there. beside it were the things i would be comped for like 2 free dinners and 2 cocktails. just made me feel worse, cuz none of the other performers were getting comped
- i was supposed to host a video on a subject i had never heard of before, something scientific... and i was supposed to do stand-up for AND I DON'T DO STAND-UP!!! maybe one day... IF I WAS FUNNY!
- on the board was a list of all the parties that were going to be in that room, and each of them were very random. like there was a group for the kiwanas, another was a family reunion. and all the comedians were filipinos. that was weird too, i didn't see any filipina comedians...
- there was a photoshoot happening at the restaurant too with real models and big fans and stuff... wtf?
- before seeing sftpaa past president, i was watching some other comedians rehearse. i don't remember any of their jokes, just them rehearsing in an open room with chairs in front of them on a mic. the room looked like the studio's.
- xle was driving an ivory-colored OLDER mercedez benz which was a stickshift

it's 6:30am right now... and for this whole dream felt real! actually, it's been a long while that i can even remember any of my dreams, cuz with my memory as it is when i'm awake? fugghedaboutit! i know myself well enough that if i just waited another couple of hours to fully wake up, i would've forgotten all this silliness. now to try and make sense of whatever was floating in my noggin at the point of slumber!
