I am among the students at the University of California at Berkeley. It is nighttime and we are grouped to prepare a concert, The concert is to take place on two adjacent hills, We are are on a freshly cut lawn in front of the two hills. The are area lights around us the illuminate the table and gentle spot lights upon the hills. The table are hot tables. In other words, tables designed to keep food warm by the use of hot water under whic pans of food are kept, The food will be served cafeteria style. This all in preparation for a concert.
The concert begins and is mostly for young men. The bands play rock and roll of the type popular for that particular audience. The students gobble up the food which consists of mostly meat dishes—roast beef, chicken and pork served up in various sauces, The roast beef is cut straight off the bone. Not a lot of vegetable dishes are served. Green bean casserle is there and more less chosen for by some.
The concert is success, I am every pleased with the results because I am the one who organized it. I am now in a similar position with the responsibility for organizing a concert designed mostly for young women. I tell someone that I know what I am doing because I have done it before for the men. The woman gives me a skeptical look but decides to rely on my abilities anyway. I begin to prepare for the concert.
Like the one before it, all is dark except for the same sort of lighting as before. However the is a center stage upon the lead-up band will play before the main attraction. The table is the same. However the cuisine is different. I tell my staff to fill the trays with mostly vegetable dishes. Like cauliflour, broccoli, carrot and other vegetable preparations. There will be meat , too, but mostly in small pieces prepared in dishes mainly consisting of vegetables. A roast beef will also adorn the table from which slices can be taken. There is some dubious stares from my staff but I am confident that this will work out.
Some relatedly unknown act plays on the center stage but is talented enough to elicit claps and whoops from the mostly female audience. They are seated on the lawn between the tables and the concert areas. Most have brought blankets to sit upon and some those very low folding lawn chairs. The intro band ends its set and the audience waits in anticipation for the main attraction.
With a bit of flair each hill lights up and each has upon one of the Indigo Girls. Their backup band is dimly lit between the two hills. The audience goes wild with a standing ovation as the band begins to play its biggest hits. The concert continues. I am filled with a deep feeling of satisfaction at the success I have enjoyed in organizing these events.
I wake up.
I seem to be having dreams about Berkeley lately. Dreams that involve me in various activities. Like managing a team. Doing technical work. Getting lost on the campus at night. I need to write these down as they happen.
