YoDickens - for some reason the 2007 Nintendo Wii game, “James Levine: Master of Ravinia” was super on-sale, so Missy Mazzoli and I had a great time playing it until Philip Glass shone a flashlight into the clubhouse and said lights out.

YoDickens - Philip Glass said me and Missy Mazzoli have to be nice and let David T. Little hang out, but we’re making him bring his dad’s beer, and all his John Adams trading cards before he gets to come in the clubhouse

YoDickens - Absolute disaster at the indie-classical clubhouse: Alex Ross somehow got through barricade with colin meloy AND the Mountain Goats guy. They’re playing Settlers of Catan, and drinking plum wine, and it’s just the worst.

YoDickens - John Darnielle found the drawer with all of Simon Rattle’s rings, but fortunately was too shitfaced to be suspicious. Still, have to be more careful in future...

YoDickens - Missy Mazzoli and former Creed frontman Scott Stapp and I are locking ourselves in sunroom with favorite Eric Clapton albums and some Capri Suns until Alex Ross and his rowdy friends finally leave. I think colin meloy may have brought a snake.

YoDickens - Bigshot broadway producer says “Two Boys 2: Still Boyin’” isn’t happening unless I cast Armie Hammer as BOTH boys. This business is raw.

YoDickens - Meeting with experimental Viennese director about “Two Boys 2: Still Boyin’” went badly, as he suggested breaking the two boys’ characters into "11.5 Jungian archetypes", using only Armie Hammer and “the miracle of plastics.”

YoDickens - Gonzo broadway producer, "Jerry Hardcore" pitched “Two Boys - One Cup” but I think I really have my heart on a non-fetish-based Broadway show

YoDickens - Sick of watching @ICEensemble scoop up free immigration-related google traffic. Papa Nico is forming his own edgy New Music group called either “The Stasi” or “Vichy Sounds.”

YoDickens - The French interns just complained about the ventilation in their quarters. Somehow I KNEW that granting them an extra ladle of sloppy joe meat on Sundays would eventually lead to delusions of grandeur...

YoDickens - I shouted to #Kendrick as he got into the limo, and he stared at me blankly as if to say “the 'Two Boys' CD you had sent to my publicist was so heavy I can’t even talk about it or return your calls yet. We must collaborate soon."

YoDickens - U should come over around 11 tonight, cause me and my collaborators from Alter Bridge are watching M. Night Shyamalan’s 2010 classic, “The Last Airbender” followed by Eric Clapton karaoke

YoDickens - The 2007 Nintendo Wii game, “James Levine: Master of Ravinia” was great fun until level 11, where you just drive him around to lots of chiropractor appointments in the Greater Chicago area.

YoDickens - Gonzo Broadway producer, “Jerry Hardcore” just proposed interesting idea for “Two Boys 2” involving a unique, immersive environment in which "the audience is made to feel deeply ashamed and inadequate.”

YoDickens - Level 13 of 2007 Nintendo Wii game “James Levine: Master of Ravinia” is a return to form - with a shirtless, feral Levine in cage fight with over-caffeinated Daniel Barenboim, and assortment of wild vermin.

YoDickens - Getting over post-Marnie malaise by sketching new opera, “Young Gruber,” which presents the early life of eventual #DieHard antagonist, Hans Gruber.

YoDickens - “Young Gruber” to feature teenage Hans at Swiss boarding school masterminding theft of a copy of “Oui” magazine, and a large, lard pie.

YoDickens - We had to hang out with John Darnielle last night, so now of course there’s vegan ghee all over my backgammon set, and my throw rugs are sodden with urine.

YoDickens - Had to hit up Materials for the Arts yesterday for “Five Guys” opera props, but they didn’t have any bowler hats, and they DEFINITELY didn’t have 105 pounds of ground beef. #TotalBust

YoDickens - Had to hit up Materials for the Arts today for “Young Gruber” opera, but they didn’t have any cuticle trimmers, plastic explosives, or scented beard oils. #DieHard #TotalBust
