Stephen Colbert was hosting a wonderful "star studded" rock opera for some wondrously joyous occasion... (perhaps a simple outpatient cure for all cancers...)
An assortment of friends from different times in my life were seated in a booth with myself and Jon Stewart in a beautifully dark and jazzy ballroom with honeycomb booths, scattered secret passages, and several stages that everyone could unquestioningly see. Musical covered included meterial from Repo, Rent, Counting Crows, Muse, Pink Floyd, A Postal Service, Sebastian Tellier, Cornelius, and more. A torrent of jokes and gags bruised our cheeks with laughter and the communal ebullience was ecstasy both in the ballroom and the televised world at large. ...God damn it was only the best thing ever and everyone knew it. :D
Many of the details are foggy now as I wake and bask in the dream's afterglow...
Bill Clinton and Stephen Colbert physically visit our booth to poke fun and Jon and I am utterly starstruck when I shake their hands.
"An honor, Mr. Clinton." -With some pride and dignity
But I choke completely when I shake Colbert's hand... He has to laugh and ask me if I even knew his name to which I said: "The truthiness of the matter is you've raped my sense of reality, good sir... So I had the feeling you might've been Jesus by the way my brain has gone numb." -Clinton gave a hearty chuck and Colbert gave a wry smile as he departed. I felt like a warm juicy jewel.
Star after another came on and dazzled us and humanity was saved. Lexi Brenner sat on the other side of Adam Duritz with me and Collin Farrel called Michael Kelley (sp?) a douche-boat. Alex Remo was trapped in a bathroom full of men's leather shoes somewhere. Michelle Li was eating a box of waffles and bit into a diamond. Jason Roberts sat on Carrot Top's lap... Carrot Top was nervous about this. Wendy Nieh was in the Easter Bunny's marsupial pouch, looking rather confused but fabulous in her mink coat. I think Courtney Burgmann was snorting lines off of the girl from Cystal Castles xD... but that part is fuzzy. Barrack Obama got Nickelodeon slime'd. A clip of George W. Bush telling an old Asian lady not to eat a cute dog, "Ain't he cute? Don't eat him! ...He's not for eating." lead the world in a simultaneous *facepalm*.
It was eventually revealed that the Stephen Colbert that had come to visit our booth was actually Steve Carrell in heavy makeup and doing his best mimicry of Colbert and he had been asking nearly everyone his name... everyone was fooled :D
Oh, and Shinobu from Honey and Clover did an animated short about Kon from Bleach spending a day trying on purses with Mel Gibson in Saks 5th Avenue.
