Blankname, "Don't sound like a rich kid Animal, or you will not reach your decline." "What business do you want?" "I will construct a wooden tevern. For pier peo- ple, for street people, for beach people, for B. movie stars. The crew will be a brotherhood. We may all survive; will be the moto. Those who work on the project, become the project. There is no need to beg for beer in this town. We can live in good spirits, and why can not Herion become wine when the wine is good. Construction worker then bartender; and why not drink and smoke while we work so that we may easy dream excellence."

A gen- tle day for Los Angeles. The glass was still like a camera, which wasn't very unusual. But today be- yond and in front of the lens; the air lived in a non-particled clarity.

Blankname's tavern plan becomes a utopian working fantasy where construction, drink, friendship, survival, light, food, and conversation all merge into one shared flow.

The page lets a business proposal become a social dream. Work, beer, Herion transmuted into wine, and the clear Los Angeles day all carry the same wish: that labor and appetite might become fellowship instead of ruin.

Blankname's tavern idea becomes utopian working fantasy — construction, drink, fraternity, craft — while still pretending to be ordinary business planning. The page's pleasure is in the smuggled daydream.
