Reason two: Two days after I happened to be in Washington DC this year for my first and only time I was looking up Flaming Lips tour dates and saw, HEY they are playing in DC! Wait, no, they JUST PLAYED in DC....for free! While I was 100 yards away in the damn Air and Space Museum! AAAAAaaargh

Reason three: I just drove back to Portland from a temporary relocation to the east coast, have been living out of my car, have no job, and very little money.

Four: It's my top living band to see live!

He has loved The Flaming Lips ever since he was old enough to speak and maybe if I took him to this show, he would talk to me again (and possibly forgive me).

I was just a teeny bopper then, age eleven going on to whatever age Justin Timberlake was so I could have a legit, realistic chance in being his girlfriend, but that jazz is all over now. Since then, I've enlightened myself, I have dug deeper to figure out the essence of music (alternative, if you will) and how true art and beauty in music comes in many, MANY more forms other than some of the commercial-drenched crap Lou Pearlman could squeeze out of his ass circa 1999.

I don't want to turn this into a scathing rant on *NSYNC, but don't let this be my last concert memory any longer. I can't take it anymore. The Flaming Lips sparkle and invigorate my zest, my enthusiasm, my respect, for my musical discoveries and inferences over the years.

Help me out, people! And thanks for reading this, if anyone does, or whatever...

It felt like a crummy karaoke party. (Un)fortunately I won those tickets through Monqui for anagramming Flaming Lips into I Fling Spam.

Here's the Strangers (cross-promo baby) take on that dreaded tour:

Please make it come full circle. Free tickets with a live band and DRUMMER!
