Title: Flaming Lips- should I go?
Post by: Sacretis on 23 Aug 2006, 16:39: Hey, there's a Flaming Lips concert tomorrow night and I'm trying to decide whether or not to go. They're playing with Magic Numbers and Sonic Youth, so thats definitely a plus. The only problem I'm having is that I don't know ANYONE who likes indie, so I'd be going alone. I'm not sure I'll have any fun, and I've felt really uncomfortable with no one to hang out with in the past. I know that I shouldn't miss it, but...

Do any of you know if they're good in concert? Is it worth it to go alone?

I don't even like them that much and I know that they're one of the best, most eccentric, theatrical live acts around, just going on pictures, footage and reviews.

Well technically I wasn’t alone, but all my friends had tickets and I didn’t. I had to sneak in afterwards and I couldn’t find any of them once inside.

But yeah I think you should go.

Truthfully, I'm not much of an indie fanboy, I dun know anyone who is into it, but I dig most of what I hear.

Anyway, thanks for the advice... :D

Post by: Joseph on 23 Aug 2006, 22:43: Coonstar, I say we kidnap them and bring them to Vancouver. I'm sure they don't have all too much security.

Post by: greenMonkey on 24 Aug 2006, 07:13: They probably won't, and while you're at it you can grab Sonic Youth as well; they're playing a concert together at the Minnesota State Fair bandshell.

Post by: Coonstar on 24 Aug 2006, 11:22: Bah! I do not have enough mula to go the way all over there. Will someone be up to kidnapping them for us Vancouverites? I can only pay you in cola candy (the metallic types that you suck on), soy milk, and an original stick puppet of batman being chained up.
