An intense few days.
Friday, September 29th, 2006I was just in New York City seeing the Flaming Lips for their two days at Hammerstein Ballroom. And by “seeing”, I mean seeing (hours and hours of sitting around, putting batteries in lasers, etc). I’m going to post some photos and anecdotes on my Drozd fan site very soon. Here’s a little window into the experience:
And here’s my all-time favorite photo that I’ve ever taken, though I had to resize it:
I finally fulfilled my long-time goal of being an onstage dancer with the Lips: on Monday my sister and I were the grooviest Santa Clauses you’ve ever seen (or not seen - we were in the back of the bunch). I made it my business to rock the house.
I didn’t get the interview with Steven because my audio recorder spontaneously combusted on the spot (well, it broke, anyway - I had an incredible streak of bad luck all that day). However, he is going to answer my questions via email, so it should happen at some point.
