2009 get ready I'm going to beat your ass down daily
Well today I couldn't decide what Flaming Lips song to write about or listen to so I picked up a bootleg, yes Warner Bros. I have a bootleg (or five) of theirs. The show was from the Fox Theater in Boulder, Colorado from March 19th of the year 2000.
My buddy Jordan came out to Colorado for a week and did a bunch of skiing and we went out and saw the Lips one night. The Fox is just a small place, a little bigger and better then the Zephyr that used to be the gem of SLC.
Looper was the opening act, they were way better live then recorded, I threw their album I bought at the show away shortly after listening to it. After Looper played we were standing around having a beer and Wayne Coyne was walking through the crowd, he looked at Jordan and I and said "Hey, thanks for coming out tonight, great to see you". That little sentence made my heart pound and put the biggest smile on my face. Nice guy, he walked away, we both just stood there smiling, the show kicked ass.
I need to see the Lips again.
Tonight on NASS - The Deathless Pros

I think I saw the same tour when they played The Zephyr. It was probably one of their headphones shows in support of "The Soft Bulliten". What a great band, and a band that can truly make you be appy to exist. Not many bands can do that.
