I saw my fifth Flaming Lips show last night, it was freakin' awesome! I also bought the most expensive souvenir of my life... my ticket. I got all the way up to the venue (for those that don't live here it's about 30 miles) and the show was to be starting soon and I was kinda drunk and pretty stoned before I realized my ticket was still at home. So I frantically searched for someone who had an extra because the will-call line was a thousand people long (literally - they ended up letting them all in for free when the show started) and I did manage to find a guy who sold me his ticket for all the money I had which was five dollars less than face value. So I made it in the show and shmoked with my friend and watched a kick-ass Flaming Lips concert! They were videotaping it for a DVD but I wasn't close enough to the front to be very visible. If you look for a cloud of smoke about a hundred feet from the front though, you might catch me. Look for my long hair and my roommmate's bald head.
All in all it was a great evening. I wish that the girl I had gone with had stayed closeby longer - once we got to the show she split and spent the rest of the night with her friends. I wasn't expecting anything, she has a boyfriend, but at least I felt like I was sort of on a date for a little while. I'm off now to take my parents' car back to them and perhaps get some reading done - because I have a crap ton of it to do before next week. I may end up hanging out later tonight but that depends on whether or not cool people decide to call me back. I'm not expecting much because even if it IS saturday night, it's just Norman.
