antonia villa art gallery cafe mind video

at some kind of open art gallery cafe -- all white interior // open space // something like new alliance or a familiar familial art space--- a bar to the left of me-- almost like in fact it really IS channel cafe, the setup of the room and even the door that leads to stairs

there with someone - chris ? - talking, not many people there --- and i see antonia villa coming up  from the stairs through a door carrying a box in her arms

i realize she is moving out of her studio which must be through the door down the stairs--- still aware that its a suprise to see her and shes moved away and how is she here?

i call out to her and try to talk to her and she ignores me -- keeps moving out -- i go up to her and not even sure she talks to me then--

then i see her sitting in a chair on video like shes talking to the camera -- and i know im seeing her talking but that shes not talking to me somehow-- like some kind of mind video ---

and she is saying she loves me but something like she hates me or doesnt want to know me now because she wanted to be with me and doesnt want to be just friends

and there is something like a small chichuaha in her lap 

dreams over the past week

i am in the channel cafe with the new floors only the floors are all drawn the same as curtis's floors, the exact same floors i think.

something like john cremona is there but not sure that i quite see him

alvan and i both have interactions with some kind of white cat and the cat treats us both the same way.

I am working at the cafe only it is different, more beachy, like raffael's in a way and there is an upstairs and LA LA is still working there. I am doing a lot for them and running around and maybe getting yelled at, so I end up opting on going upstairs where there is some kind of school for kids and people my age with problems and special needs. Hannah (Rob's ex ) is there. I'm not sure if I go at first to join them but they all gravitate toward me right away. I am with a few of them and then one in a white kind of straight jacket grabs me and lays me down with him on a chair but in a sweet way of being like "i like you.be my friend. take a nap."everyone in the main room is sitting in chairs in a half circle curved and faced toward the front of the room away from the door. Now I remember- I had to use the bathroom and kept trying to bring it up but didn't know where it was. When the straight jacket guy has me the flip-flop guy Mansfield from the cafe comes in and eyes us and says "yeah he's got you." Hannah is in the hall after I use the bathroom and she is nice to me then.

While being there I seem to remember something like Greice was saying they had been sent there before, as if it were a kind of punishment.

Joyce asks me to get something from a wooden shelf suspended near the ceiling of the restaurant. To get down I have to climb down a ladder and I do it the wrong way which Joyce points out. I  think I am going to      fall but then I let the ladder fall gently and land on my feet.

Tammie is sitting on the stairs blocking my way. These are different stairs, like at Devons house in a way. She is wearing a big pink fur coat and I start singing Macy Gray at her and she laughs.

When I am up the stairs finally into the attic La La pops her head out and Tammie says something and we both sing "Shes a lady, wo-o-oh she's a lady" and think its very funny.

I am working at Channel Cafe. First I am going around shops with some other people,I think Pierce is one. We are looking for alcohol. It may be New Orleans. I decide to buy a smoothie in a plastic box like you might buy a candy apple in. I check if its vegan and  it is. It is bright pink like pepto bismol. I end up having to work and Joyce sort of puts me in charge or everything behind the counter only behind the counter is different, more industrial. I decide I'll put alcohol in my smoothie drink where before I wasn't going to.

There is some kind of related but seperate flash back to highschool where some friend of mine is going and sleeping in this special teacher room and everytime she goes and Ms. Keating is in there Ms.Keating tells her she can't be in there but nothing ever happens, because, really,we think, Ms.Keating's not supposed to be in there either.

Something to do with the Channel...Joyce was there, I think I was crying and trying to talk to her. Maybe there was water or flooding and stairs and staircases. Some kind of delivery trying to get done. I overslept.

I am working at The Channel Cafe only its not the Channel. Joyce is there and everyone else plus a ton of other people and we are all in a back room kitchen. It is all chrome silver and everyone is busy doing something. It feels like a factory or an assembly line. I realize I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing and I run around looking at everyone else and trying to remember what I am supposed to be doing.
