Summer of Dreamz

Posted June 11, 2007 at 02:01:49 PM by Chris Slack



In case you didn't know, this summer is the "Summer of Dreamz." The manifesto is after the jump.

SUMMER OF DREAMZ 2007

I. THE SEASON

1. From June through August, the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the sun than any other time of year.
2. The energy from the sun warms the waters and causes nature to explode.
3. The colour and life given to the Earth by the sun awakens the dormant creativity of the human race.
4. This creativity is displayed through song, dance, love, laughter, and dreamz.
5. The dreamz of summer are as fleeting as the season itself.

II. THE PEOPLE

1. To embrace all moments, the people will make their dreamz reality.
2. The more dreamz made true, the richer summer shall be.
3. Ill consequences and hurt are of little concern to the dreamerz.
4. One person's dreamz can benefit the dreamz of all.
5. It is the right of the dreamerz to embrace all things summer has to offer.

III. THE DREAMZ

1. Any and all dreamz can be achieved during summer.
2. Simple dreamz and pleasures are as valid and valued as the grand.
3. Dreaming a dream is the first step to completion.
4. Awareness of the Summer of Dreamz is just as crucial.
5. All dreamz created during Summer 2007 have the right to be alive.

Tracy said:

It's the Summer of Dreamz, 2007—don't fight it.

chris slack said:

it's what you make it!

Jack said:

I won't fight it....after I can have a little bit of what you guys are smoking!

peter locke said:

boring.

Austin said:

this post is weaving my dreamz.

The Only Cream Commenter Not In a Band or Musically Inclined said:

What they didn't tell you: it's followed by the Fall of Nightmarez.

chris slack said:

yep!!!

Tracy said:

And, it's really a pyramid scheme.

But said:

A pyramid scheme of dreamz!

The Only Cream Commenter Not In a Band or Musically Inclined said:

And then the "Winter of Discontent" of course, and possibly the "Springtime of Our Lives"

chris slack said:

i'm backing "winter of discontent"

Hubbard said:

So, has NashvilleCream gone Scientologist?

Not Musically Inclined Elizabeth said:

I'm in for "Springtime of Our Lives"

rio said:

refresh the blog.

Tracy said:

No, it's "Sunshine of Your Love" by none other than Cream, dudez.

Andrew J. Smithson said:

Hippiez...

Shoegazer. said:

If my dreamz don't come true by Labor Day - can I sue for false advertising?

ps. the Northern Hemisphere isn't any closer to the sun during the summer than the rest of the year. Its the earth's tilt that causes the seasons, not the hemispheres distance from the sun.

chris slack said:

hmmm well things like "facts" don't really enter into the summer of dreamz because they are usually based on "reality"

Trashley said:

Did you know the earth is actually closer to the sun during the winter months? That's a fact the southern hemisphere knows, but we don't care 'bout them.

My dreamz involve a solar system bending to my will and the sun being the best star to make a wish on!!

What are YOUR dreamz?

rio said:

This guy knows about the summer of dreamz.

corey haim's summer of dreamz 1988

"I think maybe ten years from now I'm hopefully gonna be in Tahiti or something kicking back in like my huge mansion, if everything goes right.... it's all up to me. Um, just watching the dolpins, and the porpoises,and the sharks and the little seahorses... and all that fun stuff go by in a whole different country.. while things are happening back here." -Corey Haim

dreamzer said:

my dreamz are to never feel bad or sad about anything at all ever ever ever again. and rainbows! and lollipops! and kitties!

Matt said:

I like to spend my summers sitting in the middle of a circle of 16 air conditioners and never ever going outside.

Tracy said:

That doesn't count!

Matt said:

Dream Nazi!

BP said:

aye

BP said:

im in ur dreamz,
ridin ur unicorn

Shoegazer. said:

lolkitty ftw!

oh, and ditto on the 16 AC units. I'd keep my place @ 68 and never leave the house if I wouldn't go broke doing it...

Trent Row said:

This site has been reduced to a breeding ground of the inside jokes of a few people. How sad. And last time I checked, this was the summer of the 99 cent rootbeer float at sonic. Now THAT'S a dream.

pulp rulez said:

the whole "z" in place of "s" thing was funny 6 months ago, but not so much anymore. my dreamz is that all the rest of you cream dreamzsters will finally get together and jerk each other off, have a hip sexy photoshoot, and then write a blog about it and get it over with. pleaze?

fiiiido said:

OH SNAP

BP said:

p. rulez, that iz my dreamz!

chris slack said:

finally, some real backlash. i figured the unicorn and the idea of having a fun summer would send some people over the edge!

burritoz said:

My dream is for Uptown and Dancin' to come back, all the condos get scooped up and put down in McMinnville, and 3 Crow to devolve back in to Slowbar.

Tracy said:

Hey haters, this is Nashville - nothing is cool here til a minimum of six months after it hits everywhere else. And sure, we like an inside joke as much as the next hipster, but we have dreamz too, just like you! Don't fight it - just feel it!

Trent Row said:

No backlash here. I just think the whole "Borat" sarcastic style of humor is pretty old.
Remember, inside jokes are funny and awesome when they are kept that way. Otherwise, you just look ridiculous.

On that note, isn't there any more Jack White news?

chris slack said:

Thanks Dad.

Trent Row said:

....Oh, and if any of you "dreamerz" don't write up a thing about the Long Players performing Ziggy Stardust this friday night, I'll take you off my bookmark list!

the dreamz killah said:

let's all try to stay grounded in reality here. and get a job. get health insurance. work hard. be a man. care about what people think of you. don't get too crazy. stay home, where it's safe. spend wisely. do the speed limit. brush your teeth. keep your worldview limited. don't pet stray dogs. don't talk to strangers ever. don't meet new people. think about this could your affect your children. think about who's kid you are. think about what to have for dinner. eat american cuisine exclusively. kill all dreamz everywhere.

Tracy said:

....Oh, and if any of you "dreamerz" don't write up a thing about the Long Players performing Ziggy Stardust this friday night, I'll take you off my bookmark list!

I love a good threat.

Seriously, uh, it's a post about having a summer of dreamz. It could just as easily appear on my grandmother's blog, and yet, because it shows up here, you assume all sorts of weird, ridiculous post-ironic connotations. It's the Summer of Dreamz. It's real; it's not a joke. We all have dreamz, and we want to make them real.

Trent said:

"Thanks Dad" ----- That is some priceless chris slack stuff right there!

chris slack said:

Thanks Dad!

scary vocoder voice said:

a patient, better driver,
a safe car,
baby smiling in the back seat,
sleeping well,
no bad dreamz,
no paranoia,
considerate of all animals,
never washing spiders down the plughole,
keeping in contact with old friends,
enjoying a drink now and then,
fitter, happier, more productive

Trent said:

Damn....Money! My new nickname for you is Money. Embrace it, this is the summer of "Money".

Here's your cue. Drumroll....

Shoegazer. said:

Thats not a vocoder in Fitter Happier. Its a computer speach program like Stephen Hawking uses.

fiiido said:

God damn, that voice is creepy. But awesome nonetheless.

dreamz warriors said:

Thanks Dad!

ethan said:

I think it's only fair to offer vegans a Summer of Rice Dreamz option.

universecity said:
