Townes Van Zandt is on stage and he has a beep of ice cream on his nose and Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson are in the corner drawing straws to see who will have to tell him to wipe it off. Jeff Buckley, Kevin Gilbert, Elliott Smith, Conor Oberst, and Kurt Cobain are playing five card draw "jacks to open - trips to win" at the front table. I am the straws, the stage, the cards, and the ice cream.
