I was going to make a Midsummer Night's Dream/Fairyland allusion in the title but I used that already. I don't plan that far ahead, you know. So I saw a card with this painting on it.

As you can tell by the URL, it's 1310x1500 pixels and I will not directly link to it. (edit: but Livejournal now resizes images. Also I had to replace it. Also, the artist's name is Blake Brasher and the work is entitled Enlightenment The Hard Way)
And it's part of an exhibition called Lisa Frank Stole My Unicorn, one that isn't up yet and one that I will most likely not be able to see for myself.

I was there for A Midsummer Night's Dream, with dance and drum solos. The whole thing, despite running less than two hours. One of the performers had the surname Batman, one of the performers did a high pitched squeaky voice when playing Thisbe and a low-pitched grunty squeaky voice when playing Cobweb, and one of the performers was not listed in the program. One character played a wall in the hilariously inept Pyramus and Thisbe, one played the moon by wielding a cane. The lion was Hermia in a cat-ear headband, hat, something like that.

I dreamt of a requiem in the style of Bernstein's Mass, and my brain was piecing it together from various things, possibly by Mily Balakirev, which I interpreted within the dream as shoutouts to other works. A pity I can't record dreams.

Burning question: What couldn't one do with a double of themself?
