So I had this dream last night...
A friend called me and said "ya wanna work on a comedy special with Robin Williams?".
Do I?!?! The guy is a freakin' genius!! He's an atomic bomb of hilarity!! We should have sent him to Afhganistan to find what's his face! He would have brought him back laughing.
So I agreed. And suddenly, I'm somewhere in Eastern Europe, near a beach, at night. There's a set ready for filming. The comedy special is live and it's right before the big Superbowl game. Robin Williams is headlining, and he's also producer and director. I have a bit part, holding up cue cards, but hey, it's Robin Williams and it's live TV! We rehearse a few times, broadcast is still 4 hours away.
During a break, I survey the beach, looking for a surfboard. I wanna surf. I ask a passing grip where I can find a surfboard. He tells me it's the Black Sea and it's got no surf to speak of. Bummer. Back to rehearsal.
Some of the jokes are really lame, which surprises me. I frown at Robin, who shrugs and points at one of the writers, a dead-ringer for Danny Elfman. I start walking toward the writer, then I woke up.
Reality check: I never really surfed. I used to boogie-board.
I met Robin Williams once, in 1985. He spoke good French.
I've never met Danny Elfman. I've never been in a comedy special.
I was in one scene of some crappy low-budget movie called "Voodoo", starring Corey Feldman, but I never actually watched the finished movie, so for all I know, I ain't even in it.

Hey wait a minute, Jack Nance was also in it! Dang, maybe I should rent it...
