Talent Show

This picture pretty much sums up my dream perfectly.

I was in Louisville, KY with my sister, and she took me to a secret talent show in a small high school gymnasium. She told me that Animal Collective, Man Man, and Dave Attell would be amongst those performing.

It was a pretty unremarkable gymnasium. Most of the performers were sitting in the audience. I was extremely excited to see Man Man and Animal Collective. As the show began, the lights dimmed, and the curtain opened to reveal Wayne Brady. He was singing a grandiose show tune about the evening. The lyrics did not rhyme, but for some reason they seemed to make sense (he even included shout outs to Jeff Dunham, Bruce Willis, and his good friends Animal Collective). He then thanked everyone for coming out, and said that he was excited to be able to get all of his friends together for this unique event.

Wayne Brady left the stage, and a crew began lazily setting up for the first performer. It was taking an extremely long time, and I was very anxious to see who it would be. I began getting frustrated that nothing was happening. There were murmurs in the crowd that Animal Collective was going to kick off the show, but the sound check and stage adjustments seemed infinitely long. Right when it seemed like something was finally going to happen, I woke up.
