Call from Mason 8/30

So I was at the office and the dreaded NO CALLER ID came up. What followed was a very long conversation and I’m writing all this from memory, so please bear with me…

MASON SILVER: “Hello Andrew. It’s Mason.”

A: “Well hello there, Mason.”

M: “Are you recording this call?”

A: “No.”

M: “Good. I’m having a problem here with your community because everyone sees me as an anomaly. They don’t trust me.”

A: “This is very true.”

M: “It’s sad. I’m sad. Because people only see what’s on the surface. Tell me, did you listen to the posted song ALONE LAND?”

A: “No, I didn’t.” [totally forgetting that this is fucking Andrew Perez and Sabrina Kern’s video that DLB directed!!!]

M: “Well you should. There are a lot of interesting things buried underneath the surface. It calls back to a lot of things in the order.”

A: “Are you talking about the Order of Anoch?”

M: [laughs] “Listen, Andrew, I want you to close your eyes and go through a scenario with me…”

A: “OK”

M: “Are you dating anyone right now?”

A: “Yes.”

He asks me my girlfriend’s name and then tells me to describe her tits to him. I’m very uncomfortable at this point.

M: “Are you both in a committed relationship?”

A: “Yes”

M: “So no one is fucking another person???”

A: “No.”

(Mason goes on a long rant and I’m paraphrasing the fuck out of this…)

M: “Imagine you two are out for several nights, and [girlfriend, name redacted] keeps getting phone calls and running out. It seems odd and out of character for her. Then, several days later, you get a Facebook message from someone who claims she’s fucking someone else. When you confront her about it, she gets defensive. Then, on a Friday night, while you’re out doing some immersive theatre event, she randomly decides she wants to ‘go to the gym.’ This continues for several weeks. You are growing more suspicious with her behavior. So one Friday night, you don’t go to your immersive theatre bullshit. You wait for her to come home, watching whatever shitty horror movie you pretend to enjoy so your friends will like you. Have you ever seen…? Nevermind.”

A: “Seen what?”

M: “She comes home all sweaty and when you try to kiss her, she pushes you away. Says she needs a shower because she smells. And that’s when you hear her brushing her teeth…hard. Doctors say you should brush softly.
So now you start reading her e-mails, checking her Facebook, following her around. And you realize that EVERYTHING she’s been saying is absolutely true. Those phone calls were from her mother. She really has been at the gym every Friday night. Suddenly, YOU’RE the creep. You’re the asshole.

And you go on with your wonderful relationship. You two have never been happier and more in love. And that’s the moment you find out that she’s sucking another guy’s dick in a car. That your best friend is fucking her from behind every night…

Do you see what’s buried beneath the surface of my story?”

A: “You want us to stop being the asshole.”

M: [laughs] “Yes. Your dick is the community. And that whore of a girlfriend is this fucking game you’re playing.”

A: “So how do we move forward?”

M: “We’ll be in touch.”

Impressions: Mason definitely sounds like the offbeat, hyper intelligent Crispin Glover type Stephanie described.
As for the ALONE LAND video… Could there be something hidden inside it that we haven’t uncovered…?
