Various scenes of me hanging around with some guy who felt 'safe', but who appeared as various high-status males - an actor or musician. Slightly miffed by this - what, do I need to be with a 'somebody' to feel ok?
First scene I was resting on a bed next to someone I thought was a college friend (though not my best friend from college). I got it in my head we were at a convention, as british actor Paul Darrow was venturing near the bed to serenade us with a few lines from some fast-moving song. Folk music? All I remember was it was vaguely traditional-sounding but fast (cajun???), and he had a microphone, and he sang with no trace of accent whatsoever, almost Elvis-ey. The person next to me seemed Pleased at this attention being paid to her; I think I was trying to sleep, and a little miffed at her reaction. I also at one point got the thought in my head that if a person was at the con, at the dance (some cons have a dance or cabaret), he was a nice enough fellow so he'd dance with you if you were all alone. A nice actor type.
Later, was outside somewhere with one of the members of U2 (not Bono). Probably Clayton. I was kind of pleased at this point to have 'someone' like that paying attention to me. A well-off creative type, who had 'made it' in his field. Seemed I was waiting for a ride, perhaps a bus, with him keeping me company; suddenly a whole crowd of people gathered (mostly girls eager to see the U2 fellow, I thought disapprovingly). Some vehicle arrived, and I moved through the crowd to get on. I remember asking (almost demanding) help climbing in from those already within. Didn't seem to be any proper seats. There were a few people inside already; one of them moved out of my way as I crawled inside. I got that this U2 guy might fly (his own plane?) cross country if he liked (I got this image of some red signal or landing beacon).
I also later got the impression that actress Natalie Portman (whom perhaps the U2 guy knew) was around (though not on the 'shuttle') , and that one of her fellow students cast a disapproving look in her direction, and indicated that when she (Portman) got like this (in some particular mood), they would call her a nickname based on a former and not terribly admirable character she'd played in a film. Heh..
