Stupid Pothead Stories

I know people have many different names for it, but with my friends we called it the session hour. You know that time of night when you have partied alot, are kinda burning out, and find everything really, really funny because well you are overtired. well my favorite times have always been the session hours. A few times we always suggested recording our sessions and listening to them at a later date.

Well one of our sessions had a movie idea.. Yes I was a short filmmaker for one day. The story came from listening to music of course.. Based on the song Tweeter and the Monkey man by Bob Dylan. Well I still have the final cut of the movie (ok the first and only cut). So in the recording we all agree’d to make this movie, and well our word while high was our bond i guess..

Ok the premise of this story was pretty shitty, and I have no clue how it kinda came out of the song, but we did have characters named Tweeter and the Monkey man.. Cop and drug dealer was the story. I was the director (still don’t know how I got nominated for it), and co-star as the dirty cop of my partner who was the good guy.

Of course all the sets were at our one friends house, which was a nice suburban home, also a park, donut shop, and our other friends grand marquis which made for a great cop car. We even made a stunt double for when Tweeter gets run over by an old old honda civic. The best part was actually not planned, when me and my partner were to get in his car and leave the donut shop.. (YES WE WERE HIGH THE WHOLE TIME). we both left our drinks on the roof, the car took 3 times to turn over, and we left with the drinks on the roof… it actually looked really good on film and was funny..

well the acting ended up being not too bad, though I was the only one who stayed in Character, and was not caught laughing.. Plus forever on film is me with long ass hair.. well about a year later a friend of mine is taking a class about movies at university, and he submitted that as his film which actually got the best grade and reaction from the students..

Just goes to show sometimes the session hour provides someone with some benifit too their schooling..

More on session hours at a later date..

peace and smiles.
