Nigger caught stealing Oreos at Dylan's concert
Quite a crowd showed up even though it was raining pretty hard
The original sign outside in Dylan's front line

Glad to see he was happy and not totally freaked out, haha

Go Minneapolis!
mooseltoe
This is right down the street from me. Whoopwhoop minneapolis.
Jeffthedrumguy
The kid looks like he's handling the fame like a pro. Smile on, cookies in hand.
JBSums
Stop hating guys. This little kid got his dream come true today. Look at that smile.

For anybody visiting Minnesota: The Current is a kickass radio station.
graft
Yep! Tune to 89.3 when you're near Minneapolis/St Paul
SihayaOfTheAllPowerfulMeh
It was pouring rain today. I'm impressed that they followed through.

FREE OREOS!? I'M THERE!!
Shepsus
Right? Those are what made me fat.
GabrielFlood
Why did everyone just get a whole package of Oreo's?? That's like a Hollywood press junket-level perk Dylan's rocking.
ColonelObvious
No, that just black kid stole one

Good job Dylan

As a music major in college, I'm jealous of Dylan.

Same. That many people never come to my shows.

Did this happen in the North West? Seems like a very Portlandesque thing. Shit like this never happens in New England
ChickenandFishMakesAGreatDish
and by shit I mean genuine acts of kindness that restore faith in humanity

Really? Dylan's amazing, but Dylan isn't that great.

You clearly don't get the Dave Chapelle reference.

You clearly didn't get the Daniel Tosh reference.

Why I love living in Minnesota

I knew when I saw the sign about the Current that he was most likely in Minnesota. Also the rain gave a clue. Awesome kid.
SmellyCatItsAllYourFault
I MISSED THIS! I AM SO FREAKIN DISAPPOINTED!

Thank you, I was wondering if this was Minnesota.

I was just going to say that it looks like MPLS. The best city in the whole wide WORLD!

The Current!
BatmanWithParents
"Before he was on the Current?" Is this in Minneapolis?
jon123682
We have the Current over in Saint Paul too!
waytoomuchcoffeegirl
yup!
BatmanWithParents
I'm guessing by the area that this was by the M.I.A.?
BatmanWithParents
Oh, man! I wish that I had gone!

The Current is a super awesome public radio station in the Twin Cities. :)
IOnceAteASandwichAndTurnedIntoACanadian
That kid must feel like the best kid in the world right now. Glad people did this :)
Croaks
I just hope he doesn't become a dick when he grows up. :)
Lookatmyballs
Only bad thing about that is if he sucks he will never know because people are too fucking nice.
EpicPublixCustomerServiceStaff
Especially compared to how awful he would have felt if nobody showed up
HereThereWhere
Best day of his life so far! How much better would the world be if we all found folks who deserve this kind of thing, and made it happen?
arsone
who says he deserved it? I haven't met Dylan - maybe he's a jerk.

Jerks don't hand out free cookies. Only good-hearted people hand out free cookies.

It was streamed live. I'm sure they'll be something on your tubes.

And it's all downhill from here for him. Good job social media.
TheBlackShakes
666 upvotes. This is perfect.
PornhubsFirstTree
I'm afraid he will be sitting in a bar in 15 years next to Doug funnie and Leroy Jetson
disciple
That's crap. I think he'll remember how awesome it was to play in front of people and will use that to drive his success and better himself.
disciple
But that's just me being an optimist...

nuffin wrong with optimism bruh :)

Being nice to everyone is a form of irresponsibility. Be honest instead.

Nah man, piano takes skill, you can't fake that. (I know it was a joke, but he can totally do it legitimately)

Can't be Oregon, these people are using umbrellas.

Minnesota. Sauce: Trust me, I'm on the internet. Also in MN. Where it is raining. And my friend was there. At the concert.
elonmust
Minnesota, it's kinda Oregon's cousin. Both have lots of hipsters.
artimies7
As a Minnesotan, they stick to the cities.
TheseStormySeasWillNotConquerMe
As another Minnesotan, I can confirm this.

As a Minnesotan who lives near the cities, believe me, I know.

Can someone explain V& to me?
Hujijiwatchi
People don't like saying banned on 4chan so they say started saying b& and v&. The reason? Because 4chan
Pharya
V& is not the same as B&. At all. But it's read in the same manner
Pharya
V&=V and=Vanned=4chan party vanned=4chan lingo for the FBI http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/182/801/4chanpartyvanorigry8.jpg
tangobunny
'V&' = 'V And' = 'Vanned.' Like, put into a van. A police one, going to prison. ...I think that's what it's referring to, at least!
Pharya
Close, but no not quite.
Argenteus1
I read it as 'V' and 'Ampersand', Vampersand made little sense.
DrPhro
People on the internet are weird.

What are you posting this using? Hint: It's a network between computers. An INTERNETwork, if you will.

People are weird, the internet lets them be themselves without all their friends finding out, most of the time.

Or awesome. Imagine how sad he would've been if no one showed. This is a great confidence booster!
soukmania
Yeah. So bad for him to later live a normal life.
FullMetalBtch
Wat?
FullMetalBtch
It was basically a piano recital, people. I had one at a community center at his age and strangers showed up.
DrPhro
I might have been sad if no one I knew showed up, but I'd definitely be terrified if a bunch of people I didn't know came instead.
soukmania
Am I the only one thinking most of those guys are kinda pyschos?
irishfury
People like feeling like they're apart of something bigger, and have stories to tell.
soukmania
I can understand going if you're from the neighbourhood, or a family member. But come on... this is the kindergarden version of project X
buttermyarse
Probably just want to post about it on social media themselves
CKDdozer
You too.
justiina
Or maybe they are friendly and wanted to make kid happy
soukmania
Both are not contradictory. You can try to make him happy being a psycho
justiina
Or being nice
CKDdozer
The Internet has made you cynical
soukmania
I was cynical before. But yeah, I think if it was my kid, seeing 200+ unknown people in my lawn with his name on signs would upset me
CKDdozer
The news article said OP asked their permission first. The parents bought Oreos for everyone. I think they were ok with it.
