I'm traveling in a tour bus. A stop is made in the middle of nowhere next to some farm. An opposing troupe killed off our driver and all my friends. I feel obligated to take the wheel and escape. I've never driven a bus before so it's proving difficult. And I'm noticing it's out of gas. But I manage to pull into a nearby farm and ask to borrow some diesel fuel. Meanwhile the people chasing me show up. The tides turn when I decide to shake hands with my enemies. One of them is a skinny female, whom I kiss multiple times as a sign of truce.

Waking up around 1:45 p.m.
Peaches.
My bedroom door's open. Anthony asks from afar, "Is Robert still in there?"
Tristan: "Of course Robert's still in here. This is his headquarters. This is where he goes to recharge."
...
Anthony: "Laron? You gettin' ready for tonight, dude? Orgy. Hipster orgy."
Grilled Cheese on a Bagel with Hummus and Tomatoes. Salt n Vinegar Chips. Honey Green Tea.
Tristan lets me drive his Chevy Malibu rental to run a few errands with him. I notice a receipt from Krispy Kreme stashed in the door.
Me: "You had donuts this morning."
Tristan: "Yeah. I had to take Josh to work this morning. He missed the bus like Kriss Kross did in the 90's."
When pulling into the neighborhood down Reynard Drive a huge Dodge 4x4 hauls ass without noticing us almost causing a collision. Close call.
Exercising in my room before Show N Tell starts. It's after 9 p.m. and the local ruffians pile in. I put on Maximum Overdrive (1986) as pre-show entertainment.
...
Dinner: Vegetable Pad Thai with Carrots and Scallions.
...
About 50 people in and out show up. The mic is open and the performance list is full to the max. Spoken word. Rap. Song. Story. Ana and I perform for the first time together. I'm proud of her voice. Anything is welcome and people show their reverence. Nothing really gets out of hand at this Show N Tell. It was successful and adequate.
Later, at Rick's Café with Laron, Ana, Leah, Will, and Ken. The Pixar Theory is discussed, the theory that states all Pixar films exist in the same narrative universe. Laron gets overly excited trying to explain it to Will. Sharing French Toast with Ana.
...
James and Anthony march in after walking to the beach and back. Anthony's his hype man, using whimsical behavior to back up any and all jokes emitted from James. You can tell they developed a closer thread after returning from the road trip.
Back home. Decompressing.
Sleep at some late ungodly hour.
