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!!!!!

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?

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

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

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.
