I want my new 4G...

If you are referring to the cellular broadband connection - me too!

I'm waiting for Apple to come out with the new iPad. I'm getting up early tomorrow to read all of the liveblogs and watch the stream and watch Apple announce the iPad 2. I love my first-generation iPad. Also the iPhone 5 will be out in July with supposedly 4G LTE connectivity. I love Apple stuff. Macs and iPods, iPads, etc LOL. I haven't got an iPhone yet though - no reception here.

Back to the topic at hand LOL!

Nice dream BTW You are very good at writing them out!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yeah, but then we all had to share a room!

Yeah, you're right - the sleepover was much better when we didn't have to share!!!

So last week while on my Stevie trip I had another Eagles dream, but I'm afraid I've forgotten some of it by now. I'll put what I remember, though!

I'm standing outside of an arena where Don is playing, waiting with my friend, because Don is going to sign autographs after the show. We're waiting by the table where he's going to sign autographs - it has a big red tablecloth and a notecard saying "DON HENLEY" in front of a folding chair. We're thinking how smart we were to leave the concert early so that we could be the first to get autographs. Then I hear Don saying something about small towns in Texas and I think "oh my gosh, is he going to do 'Talking to the Moon'?" Sure enough, I hear it start up.

"Dang it! We're missing 'Talking to the Moon'!" I cry.

My friend rolls her eyes. "You can hear it from out here!"

"But it's not the same," I pout.

Out of nowhere, a guy shows up with a piece of pizza. "Here, have this." He hands it to me. I figure he must be trying to make a sale, so I turn around and there's a booth where he's selling pizza for $2 a slice.

"I don't have any money on me," I tell him.

"That's OK, I'll give it to you free." He smiles and goes back to his booth.

My friend says, "See, if we weren't out here early, you wouldn't have gotten free pizza."

"Good point," I say, and take a bite of my pizza.

Suddenly Don is at the table ready to sign autographs and there's people all around us. I've still got my slice of pizza. I can't find a place to put it down and get to my CD that I want him to sign so I'm trying to eat it really quickly, but it's a big piece. Everyone is waiting on me and Don says "Where did you get that pizza?"

"That guy gave it to me," I say, indicating the booth which is only a few yards away. Everyone waiting for an autograph starts saying "ooh, it's free?" and walking over to the booth.

"Great, now everyone is going to want free pizza," Don says unhappily. "He was supposed to charge $2 a slice. We're not going to make any money!"

"I would've paid two dollars if I'd had the money on me, but when I told him I didn't have any money, he said I could have it free. He's not giving it all away, he just gave one piece to me....and you shouldn't be mad at him because he was only trying to cheer me up..." I'm trying to explain, but at the look on Don's face, I just sigh heavily and say "Sorry."

Then the scene changes, and we're all inside the place where they filmed the HFO show. Don is onstage in his HFO outfit performing something - I can't remember what - but it's not an Eagles show. It's a Don solo show.

However, after his song, Don says, "I have a special surprise for you! Glenn Frey is here and he's going to do something he's never before done. He's going to play 'The Girl from Yesterday' on crystals!"

Suddenly Glenn appears sitting behind what looks like a xylophone, only instead of metal, it's made of sparkling crystals. He gets out what looks like a little mallet and starts hitting the crystals with it. I hear the opening notes of TGFY. It's working! I'm totally impressed. I think it's really brave of him to play the song on crystals because it must be really hard. He's having to play really slowly and carefully. Don walks over to Glenn, beaming, obviously very pleased with Glenn's crystal-playing. I think it's a nice moment.

Then the dream jumps to me singing with Stevie Nicks and Glenn and Don no longer appear, so I'll stop here. lol

[EaglesKiwi]

You're right, Soda, you just couldn't make these things up!


Is it my imagination, or do your Eagles dreams often feature you getting into trouble with Don???

[Prettymaid]

She gets into trouble with Glenn too.

[Annabel]

Maybe Trouble is her middle name.

[TimothyBFan]

Don trying to make a few bucks selling pizza at his own autograph signing!

Doesn't pizza make an appearance in quite a few of your dreams?

[sodascouts]

Yeah, somebody needs to tell my subconscious that I want to have a dream where all the Eagles think that I'm the bomb and where we have a more varied selection of food!

[GlennLover]

When I got to the part where Don announces that Glenn is going to play the "crystals" I had to laugh out loud. It just struck me funny ! dream on, Soda, I love hearing about your dreams!
