Last night I had a dream that I was talking to Ronnie James Dio about going to BlogHer. He didn’t make his reservations early enough, so he was staying in some Days Inn. I told him that he could put all of his giveaways in our room during the conference.
Apparently I am very generous when it comes to metal icons.

(Thanks to The Kaiser for my Superfly Dio/Sarah on the phone pictures)

My brother once had a dream where he was trying to convince Maynard James Keenan that all Tool songs were about anal sex. (Which they are…)

Perhaps he is coming to play a cover of “Mexican Breakfast”?

You and I need to team up on our dreams. Together we could have had Bea Arthur and Ronnie belting out some righteous heavy metal.

I wish I could remember my dreams. Life would be much more fun.
I cannot see that guy’s name without hearing it said DEE_OH in that deep, scary, monster-truck voice they used to use to make things sound tough. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!
He’s been part of a host of ageing (sp?) rockers doing a PSA for autism on VH1. He looks like Jeff Goldblum in The Fly. None of them looks really good except Steven Tyler. The guys from Kiss wisely put their makeup back on.

Days Inn? I don’t think so.
Everybody knows he’s a Motel 6 kind of guy.

A dream about Dio. Coool. Did he give you the devil horns when he said “Days Inn”?

Jeromy walked by and glanced at the monitor while I was reading this via Bloglines. Half way into the other room, he says, “Is that Ronnie James Dio?” Seriously. Who else (besides you and Jeromy) recognizes RJD at a glance?

I think…right here..is the birth of “Get Dio to BlogHer ‘07.”
Start the petitions.

i’m a loser. i have no idea who that guy is. nice phone. 1978 called, they want their technology back.

So I’m guessing that he was behind The Last in Line otherwise he wouldn’t be at the Days Inn.

Hilarious.

Awesome! My dreams are pretty cool but I have never had Dio as a guest star…I believe Glenn Danzig was in my dreams once though.

Nice to see Kaiser’s days are still full…..

That is freaking hilarious.
I’m kind of afraid of the BlogHer giveaways he might have in his little swag bags.

Haahah, I love Dio…..or did back in the day. I haven’t heard any of his more recent stuff.
BlogHer sounds fun!
Just here via Criteo. Cool site
