I LOVE THE FLAMING LIPS AND HAVE FOR A LONG TIME, LIKE 8 YEARS OR SOMETHING. AS A MATTER OF FACT I OWE THE FLAMING LIPS A GREAT DEAL BECAUSE IT WAS THEM THAT GOT ME OUT OF DRIVING TO SNOWBOARDING WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL. IT WAS ALMOST ALWAYS THE TAPE I HAD IN AND EVERYONE ELSE HATED IT???? I THINK IT CONFLICTED WITH THEIR PUNK ROCK IMAGE OR SOMETHING RIDICULOUS/SUBURBAN LIKE THAT.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING I LISTEN TO ON A DAILY BASIS NOW OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT BUT I OFTEN FIND MYSELF PUTTING THEIR SONGS ON MIX TAPES. WELL AT LEAST I DID WHEN I WAS MAKING MIX TAPES.

THE THING WAS THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY A REAL CONCERT AND I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I SAW A BAND PLAY OUTSIDE OF A TINY BAR/CLUB. WELL I GUESS I DID SEE THE USED ON FRIDAY AT THE VENTURA THEATER AND GLASSJAW ON 11/5 AT THE PALACE BUT BEFORE THOSE....CAN'T REMEMBER.

I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DRESS UP IN AN ANIMAL BUT I TURNED IT DOWN BECAUSE ALL THE BIG PEOPLE AT THE LABLE WERE GOING TO BE THERE AND I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE AN EVEN WORSE IMPRESSION THAN I ALREADY DO. BUT WHEN THEY COME TO LONG BEACH, YOU KNOW WHO IS GOING TO BE THE FIRST ONE SUITED UP DON'T YOU?

BECAUSE I HAD TO SIT IN A SEAT MOST OF THE TIME I GOT ANTSY. I WANTED TO BE DANCING, MAYBE EVEN SLOW DANCE. BUT YOU NEED A PARTNER TO SLOW DANCE DON'T YOU? WELL MAYBE SOON...I WON'T BE SUCH A DORK.

ALSO, I VALET PARKED MY CAR.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT...I AM BOURGEOIS MOTHERFUCKER AND I WAS RUNNING LATE.
