Tech Nerd Gun Fight

OK, this is a dream that I am confidant very few of my friends will appreciate or remotely find amusing.  

Many of you know that with pregnancy comes crazy dreams.  The kind that keep you up all night.  We went to Laguna Beach this summer and I took along some light summer reading: Sarah Lacy's "Once Your Lucky, Twice Your Good: The Rise of Web 2.0 in SIlicon Valley".  So while any of my relatives with estrogen and everyone else on the beach was devouring the new Stephenie Meyer vampire novel Breaking Dawn - I was devouring a book about tech rock stars.  (I have, as a side note, now caught up with the rest of the world and read Breaking Dawn)

Here is what I typed into my laptop on that vacation last month:

It’s 3:52 in the morning and I just woke up after having a dream that I was in a gun fight with Ben Trott (Typepad co-founder) , Max Levchin of PayPal (currently at Slide) and Kevin Bacon - but the mean and crazy Kevin Bacon from the Whitewater movie.  

They were trying to steal my “intellectual property” and somewhere in there Mark Andreesson (Ning and Netscape) sailed in (all in black) and was a good guy helping me protect it all. I think it's because he is tall and has a shaved head.  We had machine guns and things that I would probably call glocks and we prevailed.  I have to be honest -- my shooting was awesome!

This is where you know, that I have lost it!  See pictures below -- these are the guys showing up in my vacatio dreams!

No more Tech on vacation.

And then after waking up all I could think about was how the BlogHer convention starts in just a few waking hours in the Bay Area, and I’m on vacation in Laguna.  And that’s a bad thing?

I’ve got serious issues.
