five reasons everyone should see the flaming lips.

1. sing-along versions of 'yoshimi'.

2. balloons, confetti, strobe lights.

3. nude people dancing on stage.

4. WAYNE COYNE.

5. they cover led zep.

now, i may say this about a lot of show but right now i'm being super serious. the flaming lips put on the best live show i've ever seen. jam on the river saturday night was an extraordinary experience that i'm glad to have shared with anna, ro and vic. it was absolutely ridiculous. philly, especially on the waterfront, especially on the fourth floor of the dave & busters parking garage, especially when livin' on a prayer is playing in the background, especially at midnight, is breathtaking. i enjoyed every second of this weekend. from allentown and the clinton diner to seaside park to philadelphia to 2am quickchek runs to the cheesecake factory to bryan's house today.. everything was awesome. i got a really good tan because i was outside for 98% of the last four days. to add on to all of the good things happening: i got an e-mail about a job offering at crossings magazine. and i have a minimal amount of journalism homework and ONE review to write and then i'm off to shower and get some well deserved sleep. this upcoming week is going to be a bit hectic, but i'll survive.
