Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Now THAT was a fun show!

A HUGE thank you to Shannon and Brian for giving me 2 free tickets to see the Flaming Lips at Disco Rodeo. It was like nothing I can recall experiencing. Shannon asked me if I was going to the Flaming Lips. I said no. She asked why. I said I had been going to a lot of gigs, and since I didn’t know them that well, I didn’t think I should spend the money. She told me I should go and handed me two tickets… just like that! I asked why she had extra tickets. She said she and Brian just thought people should see them because they are great. I love true music lovers. Those are my kind of people. One day, I want to have the means to be that generous. What a joyride of a gig from start to finish. Confetti, laser points, explosions of lights… Very good times.


This isn’t my picture. They were checking bags and wouldn’t let me bring my camera in. My pix were taken using my cellphone, so they are kinda crap! Chris was one of the lucky people who got a camera in the door.

Oh yeah! I hadn’t really kept track of who was going since I didn’t think I was going before. I think I remember you saying that you were.

Yeah, V. It was really crazy fun!

So much fun, even though it got so stinking hot in there! I wanted to take off all my clothes. Well, not really…

And WAYNE is HOT!

I think everyone needs to go to at least one Flaming Lips show during their lifetime. What awesome friends to give you those tickets.

What a great tip! I looked up their tour schedule after seeing this entry and found that they were playing a show two days later at Brown University with Yo La Tengo and Mission of Burma. Got tickets on short notice and had a spectacular summery time. A few pictures here.
How fortuitous that I noticed your blog post… thanks!
