To further derail the thread, I'd just like to gloat that my girlfriend bought us tickets to a James concert when they come through town next month.
My heart swells, exceedingly glad!

alright alright, what costumes do you have planned this year?
I intend to make a cosmonaut suit, but then you never know what I might throw together at the last minute...

I love James. Also a big fan of David Gray and Richard Ashcroft.

Premier camping has too much class and not enough culture.
If you're too scared to get out there with the freaky masses then you deserve to pay a fine to park/camp closer to the gate.

Schedule times are yet to be announced. I really hope Spiritualized will play at night, on one of the smaller stages. *starrrrzzzz*

It's a hike, sure, but a wonderful liberty to be allowed. We'll just have to pray they haven't upgraded to body-scanners.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are floating in space...
All I want in life's a little bit of love to take the pain away Getting strong today A giant step each day...
I've been told: "Only fools rush in" But I don't believe, I don't believe! I could still fall in love with you.
I will love you til I die And I will love you all the time So please put your sweet hand in mine And float in space and drift in time.
I will love you to death, I guess that's what you get And I don't know where we are all going to Love don't get stranger, it is what it is And I don't ikinow where we are all going to Everything happens today and that's what you get And I don't know where we are all going to
And all my time until I die, we'll float in space just You and I.

This isn't a matter of opinion, jackass. It's well documented. Wayne talks about it ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Have I mentioned that you are literally the worst poster this board has ever seen? Ooooh my GOD, and the Beatles never wrote songs about drugs and lied about it either! Maybe he realized that it's not a good idea to publicly flaunt his chemical use when he's a well-known figure. I have actually lived in his city and police there do not take kindly to drug use. Were you even AT the show? For fuck's sake dude.

Yes, I was highly amped for this show and subsequently disappointed by the performance. Of course the music sounded great, but I'm surprised that no one has yet stated the obvious reason for the extra talking/time wasting: they were really fucking high! MDMA, seriously. Wayne doesn't do drugs anymore. Hasn't for a LONG time. lololololol. ALRIGHT, dude. Whatever you want to believe. Also, I touched the bubble two times, I was the first one to call out for cake and miraculously got a lick of cake from a girls' hand, despite the fact I was maybe 12-15 bodies from the stage. I can't wait to see the Flaming Lips again! <3 <3 <3 You had to have been super close to me. Were you a part of the massive group hugs? I can't say that I was. Sounds like a good time tho.

I took a little walk through this shower. It was a nice relief in the middle of the hot day.

The only people who robbed me were the entry security people who stole my glass piece and a pack of smokes with 4 cigs and some roaches in it.
They also took my bubble sword.

Of course the music sounded great, but I'm surprised that no one has yet stated the obvious reason for the extra talking/time wasting: they were really fucking high! MDMA, seriously. I thought it was all pretty great until Waiting For Superman when he started to retreat back into his own mind, thinking about whatever sad things had caused him to write the song and he began to lose his voice and place and the lyrics. It was a bit uncomfortable and awkward because he knew he was busted. Still, I sang out every word as best I could and I feel like that kind of helped him. Was totally bummed not to hear the Gash. And Modest Mouse played FOREVERRRRRR so I really wish they had been given about 15 more minutes to finish the set. grr. However, I did enjoy their experimentation with sound in the form of a mysterious Victrola-type of cone mounted on top of the sound booth which Steven used to tweak some frequencies during setup and create a shifting wall of sound. That was fucking crazy. I was also highly annoyed at the pit action during Flogging Molly. Definitely wasn't what I wanted while coming up on zhrooms. I launched a roll of toilet paper tho, and almost hit their singer (tho not intentionally) I could not WAIT for those guys to get off the stage. Anyway, people were noting that the show was not transformational. The lack of confetti and balloons certainly detracted from it (i suspect they were asked to not use so much for the sake of the wind blowing that shit all over mother nature) HOWEVER! I did take a life lesson away from the show, and that is a reminder that things in life don't always live up to the expectations that you may create in your mind, and also that if you take too much drugs you might not finish the tasks which you set out to complete. Also, I touched the bubble two times, I was the first one to call out for cake and miraculously got a lick of cake from a girls' hand, despite the fact I was maybe 12-15 bodies from the stage. I can't wait to see the Flaming Lips again! <3 <3 <3 They all had dancer passes, I saw them backstage. I met these people! lol, the asian girl was SOOO fucked up by the time they got out onstage.

I love the symbolism in the show. The eye-shaped screen, the bubble, lazer handz, the smoke machine called kindness.
At the last show I saw, I was amazed at the end when I spied an oversized (fake) orange extension cord running onstage from either side. It was disconnected, and each coupling had a word on it (i forget what they were, blame lucy) but it was totally trippy because my hands (and spine!) had a tingling, electrified feeling from clapping so hard...................and there was this giant extension cord just begging to be plugged in and give me the POWER.
So surreal. mmmn!

I didn't take the original pictures but I did turn them into .gifs myself, using LunaPic online.
