Awesome, awesome show. I am now officially a Flaming Lips fan. I liked them before, but this was a really great concert experience. And I'm not just saying that because they seem to have convinced a goodly contingent of females to paint their bodies and run around in nothing but panties and band-aids.
I think this festival will really help kick up Des Moines place in the region (among younger adults) I think it's fulfilling it's goal really well. Amadeo and the other folks in DMMC that put this together should be applauded, loudly, not just by music fans, but by those who want to see Des Moines and it's arts scene thrive.
Congrats DMMC for a great first day of 80/35!
