Nice Folks Who Love Wayne and The Flaming Lips post here

[~dave~~wave~]

This was the first post I ever made on this forum.

I want to see everybody's pictures they took with Wayne, autographs, t-shirts, etc.

Your turn.

[quote:0a5df5bdb5=\"~dave~~wave~\"]\"I think Wakarusa is a f**king shining, wonderful example of some people really trying hard to make this a great show, to make it a great camp site so people can come out here and spend the night, and putting on a lot of f**king great bands. I think that's really what it's all about, definitely.\"

Do You Realize...


You have the most beautiful...


....body?


Honest to god, funkyb, that was one of the best moments I ever had at a show.

The energy and the look on your faces... ...whew!

I knew I felt a strange connection with one of the dancers in particular, with the great hair and the biggest smile...

It wasn't until you helped me out with a few hints... DOH!

NEWWW! YAWKKKK!! CITTTTAYYYYY!!!!!

:lol:

Posted this in the other thread too, sorry to duplicate but it needs to be said:

Seeing the Flaming Lips at Wakarusa 2006 changed my life. I'm not kidding.

I have always been a very, well, messed up dude. I was an outcast my whole childhood, never really learned how to make or keep friends, had no self confidence and an absolutely horrible self-image. And I was always negative, always expecting the worst, always defending myself from the inevitable kick to the nuts the universe was going to deliver at any moment.

As an adult, I never really realized how that affected me and my relationships.

I had no idea who the Lips were or what they were about, so when I saw them in 2006 I had only a few blurbs from a friend to go off of. I had very little clue what to expect.

It was the most fun I have ever had at a live show. It was the most fun I have ever had (as an adult at least?) period. Their songs are so positive, so true, so right... and Wayne's earnest, honest little mini-speeches... I could see them do the same show every time I catch them for the next 20 years and I would not be disappointed.

Every time I see them, I am reminded of what life is really about. I leave their shows with a renewed desire to be a positive force in the world, in my own tiny little insignificant way.

Madahoochi may be my favorite band, but the Flaming Lips are my @#$%ing heroes.

I will post on THIS thread, because I have always enjoyed the Lips show and think music is a great way to get messages out to people because you have their attention. He keeps it short and they do go off everytime! Not only that, but you can find negative things in everything if your looking for them. I prefer to focus on the positive things in everything, but it's always your choice. Not only that but negative energy seems to spread faster than positive, so although it's easier to be negative, you should always try to stay positive! I guess I should start a thread for this topic, huh?

-peace-

my old man was at wakarusa 06. before the lips played he was tired and worn out from the day. he was leaning on the railing in the front row, and i could tell he just wanted to go home. to this day he still wont stop talking about that set. he gave him new energy. music does that to people.

just not my bag of grains, if ya know what i mean jellybean

[pedro13]

Seriously, if you have a problem with naked woman, your either a straight female, or a confused male. I personally would go to the Lips show, just to see the tits, but that's just me I guess :oops:

[HARPER]

Wayne: \"Ok, ok, alright mother f@#kers, come on! Here we go!\"


:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Check out Wayne's essay for NPR's \"This I Believe\" series. Very cool.



He's about the best ambassador my city could have; in spite of and because of dropping the f-bomb in front of the mayor!
I see the FLips as a big, benevolent group art/psychology project, and we're all part of it. 8)

Yes, fixed it for you!

Thanks so much, gingerae, I had not run across this.

You ****in' rock!

My son turned ten years old as the lips were playing Do You Realize. He and his brother really enjoyed the show. Their blinking LED necklaces were especially relished during the Flaming Lips -- go figure.

The Flaming Lips seem to embody that mid-western weirdness many of us are familiar with. I think they should visit Lucas Kansas to see the Garden of Eden.... were you can view a dead body encased in glass.... housed within a concrete pyramid on the grounds of a hundred year old grassroots art installation.

[lula_lamore]

I still sound like a 12 year old boy because of the FLips show this year! I screamed and sang so much. Being right up front in VIP was amazing! All the energy that they were giving off and the crowd was giving back seemed to hover right over VIP.
Funky B you are the bravest woman I know! I knew the naked ladies were coming (I cheated and watched a little of the Summer Camp webcast) and wasn't too excited, but then I noticed a lady with long brown hair and something seemed familiar. All of a sudden I had a HOLY CRAP thats Funky up there moment! Your face was pure bliss and freedom.

[Dirtfoot]

Hey good folks,

need your help here. We've heard from a couple of different sources that Wayne gave a shout out to Scotty our sax player and the band (Dirtfoot) while they were setting up. We didn't make it out to the set until after they started playing so didn't here the pre-show banter.

Anyone else catch that?

Thanks
J

[pedro13]

Didn't Scotty play a song or 2 with Galactic as well? I'm going to post this in the Pic and vid thread too, but since we are on the subject here it is...

[SPelizzaro]

J,

I do remember hearing something on the lines of that.... I had some weird fungus starting to kick in, so I wouldn't trust me too much. :shock:

[KB]

Yes, Scotty played Baker's Dozen with Galactic - one of the top highlights of the festival for me.

Didn't hear the shoutout by Wayne, though.....

[Dirtfoot]

Pedro

Scotty did play with Galactic! He jammed on one of their last tunes and they gave us a shout for sure! We've already listened to the tapers copy of this a gizillion times and man did that kid blow!

I wish there was a copy of the Lips too, all the copies I've seen start when the music starts.

[gingerae]

Thanks davewave. Thanks for this great thread that made me remember it. Heard it on the way to work and was really touched. Hope everyone, esp. FunkThompson & FunkyBegonia enjoys it too.

I think that seeing the \"same show\" has its merits. It's never really the same; that's part of the beauty of live music. My 1st time at Waka06, NYE 08 in OKC, Waka08, I was different each time and appreciated the subtle differences in the shows. Although some will say the FLips are rarely subtle!

Sorry, don't remember the start, had to meet DH, but it's really cool how Diiirrttfooot kept coming up all weekend!

[acidcherry]

I haven't posted since last year until I read the Flaming Lips complaint thread.


I <3 the Flaming Lips!

[PeartMoon]

The \"press conference\" we had with Wayne was one of the highlights of the festival for me. His responses were always well articulated and funny. I loved how he would ask the interviewers themselves about their own opinions on the questions they were asking!

Hope you eventually put that on your blog page.
I'm enjoying the three interviews you have up already with BackDoor Slam, State Radio and American Babies.
