Nightmare Scenario

Last week we had a soft opening for this week's Hurricane Sandy Frankenshow, Foz the Hook's Nightmare Scenarios!

The Nightmare Scenarios work like this:  Real live (not dead) comics get up on stage at Cole's and tell the true story of a real nightmare they have had at some point.  It has to be real, and not made up, or we will know.  We are FtH.  While they are telling the story a team of interrogators asks them questions about the nightmare, and they have to answer.  At the end of the nightmare, after having spilled their guts about the darkest recesses of their souls, they stand there on stage while the whole audience judges them.  It's hilarious! 

In case that seems a little harsh to readers who might be new to FtH's unique brand of psychopathy, let me say that the first storyteller to go last week was Your Old Pal Foz himself.  I don't have time to relate the dream I told in prose, so I will just tell it in hashtags:

#universalconsciousness #highschool #SMELancers #Reagan #overseasADVENTURES #Beirut #Israselitanks #?Christian?militias #whiteroom #bench #nakedmen #labcoats&clipboards #dorkface #glandpinch #drnutsackflick #singletear #otheroom #grossmassacre #wailingmothers #eveningnews #Sabra #Shantila  #WorldBook #Creeeepy 

Then everybody judged me.  I have to say, it was a little bit liberating.  You have a strange dream, and you think to yourself, "Am I crazy?  Is there really something wrong with me?"  Then you tell your friends about it and they say "Yes.  You are not right.  There is definitely something wrong with you.  You might want to think about going away and hiding and never being seen talking to me ever again." And then you can think "Whew.  I thought so."

Tonight, for Halloween, we add two new non-Foz victims to the slab!  Be at Cole's tonight at 8:45 (not 9:00) to see FtH's Nightmare Scenarios, wherein FtH plays live music to Nosferatu (1922 version) for about 15 minutes, and then You watch Bill Bullock and Rebecca O'Neal tell crazy stories of their craziest dreams.

Then, after that, jokes.  You know.
