Marc Schiller is the co-founder of Wooster Collective, a formative street-art web site launched with his wife Sara in 2003, and the CEO and founder of slick digital brand-strategy firm Bond Strategy and Influence. He is widely surmised to be a close friend of global art-phenomenon Banksy. And today, Schiller enjoyed a bunch of coke with some transvestites.
How do we know this? Because the father of two wanted me and you and everyone we know to hear about what may be the "craziest day of my life," an unexpected period that involved a train ride in the U.K., taxi-cab flatulence, taking an ecstasy pill, hoovering up a pile of cocaine, and bonding with a trio of colorful strangers. While this certainly makes for an entertaining anecdote—and since Schiller's become fairly active in the film community, we look forward to his Before Sunrise meets To Wong Foo version of this story—his decision to blast this adventure breathlessly on social media is just, ah, well. You make the call:
Just had an announcement on the train I'm taking from London to Sheffield that we've hit a person on the tracks. We're "being platformed".

They've evacuated the train. Am now in a crowded taxi sitting on the laps of three lovely transvestites heading to Bedford.

I think one of the transvestites just farted in the taxi. Should I say something?

Transvestites inviting me to go to the Downloaded music fest with them. May blow off Sheffield and do it. One just took an Exstasy pill.

Train is now full of Downloaded people. Am told I need to get off at Lester. But I'm so high on coke with the trannies I may not remember

Gonna lose lots of followers today but this has to be the craziest day of my life. One of the transvestites is now singing Blondies Call Me

Transvestites won't let me take photos of them because of the drugs and I'm tweeting where we are.

Smart girls.
There's a drug called "the sausage"? I'm not gonna go into the bathroom to do this one for obvious reasons. I'm watchingthe trannies bags

They just announced a shuttle bus to the Download festival. Gotta decide now. Go to Sheffield doc fest or more drugs with the transvestites?
— Marc Schiller (@MarcDSchiller) June 12, 2013
Fuck. I think I lost my passport in the cab after the train was cleared. Seriously. It was in my back pocket. Now it's not. Fuck!!
— Marc Schiller (@MarcDSchiller) June 12, 2013
I'm still so high from the drugs I don't care about my passport. May just stay inLeicester. If I show up in Sheffield I'm gonna be a wreck
— Marc Schiller (@MarcDSchiller) June 12, 2013
Phone just rang. Not gonna answer it. It's quiet now on the platform. the transvestites and Downloaders are all gone. They left me some coke
— Marc Schiller (@MarcDSchiller) June 12, 2013
Found passport. Crisis averted. Just realized I didn't get the transvestites numbers before they got in the download shuttle.What a day!
— Marc Schiller (@MarcDSchiller) June 12, 2013
Already received emails from people in Sheffield asking me if I'm bringing any of the transvestites' coke. The answer is no. It's all gone.
— Marc Schiller (@MarcDSchiller) June 12, 2013
Some of the Downloaders just came back with more coke. Now recharging my phone in another traincar cause I can't do more coke. I just can't
— Marc Schiller (@MarcDSchiller) June 12, 2013
I'm told by Margaret that the transvestites just ran out of coke. Should I go to Sheffield or take ecstasy with them and go to Downloaded?
— Marc Schiller (@MarcDSchiller) June 12, 2013
Any chance Mr. Schiller regrets this furious binge of oversharing? Not a chance.
Phone going dead. This has cost me a fucking fortune in international minutes. But was worth it.

What a day!
