Other Electric Dreamers
I'm a member of a pretty motley crew.
I was looking to see who else online uses variations on the title Electric Dreams, the name of my upcoming book.
- Electricdreams.com appears to be a website for a seriously hardcore paintball group. At least I hope they're just using paint. The front page features a link to a streaming version of Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue."
- Electricdreams.org, on the other hand, is owned by The Electric Dreams Organization, which appears to be a very cool group promoting safe sex among gay clubgoers. They haven't put anything up at that URL yet, but there's a rundown of what they do at partysafe.org
- There's also a series of porn films titled Electric Dreams available from Amazon. Unsurprisingly, they show up well before my book if you type "electric dreams" into an Amazon search.
- Of course, you can also get the original 1984 film Electric Dreams from Amazon. I can't get too cranky about that one, since it inspired the title of my own book.
- Finally, it turns out a book published in 2004 is titled Electric Dreams: One Unlikely Team of Kids and The Race to Build the Car of the Future. I may not be able to overtake the porn or the Hollywood movie in the Amazon search listings, but maybe I can beat out the unlikely team of kids.
