The Flaming Lips have the most amazing live show ever. I want to be in their cult now.

I also want to be a hippy. They have so much fun all the time. Best concert ever.

See them in Gainesville Luke? My damn cell phone died on Saturday and I didn't have my charger.

But yeah, they were ****ing magical.

Yea man. So amazing.

It was soo fun.

Did Mike go?

Mike didn't get my PM until too late, and my phone wasn't working anyway, so I'm not sure. I hope he did!

Where were you standing? We were really close to the front, getting covered in confetti and streamers the whole show.

And I just checked my messages and got yours. Sorry I missed the call again.

We were right next to the left speaker stack in the front. Not the best, put still really awesome. All the people around us were kind of awkward though because they weren't dancing at all. My friend and I were going all crazy with some girls next to us. It was funny.

Were you guys in the middle with everyone who was dancing? We tried to crowd surf over there, but no one would pick us up in our little section. Party poopers for real haha.

Its cool about the call. Glad you made it up though, because everyone who missed it, missed life heh. Yea... hopefully Mike got to see them.

Can't wait to see them again!

Stage left? We were like 20 feet behind you, haha.

Nice haha!

I wanted the bubble to come over to us sooo bad. Heh.

i was standing right behind the sound man. advantages:

1. best sound. they always mix for themselves
2. set lists lying around. for the record, they were going to play two songs for an encore. "spoonful weighs a ton" was the second one. that's my favorite.

disadvantages:
1. no confetti.
2. that's all. no confetti.

My chores are done and I need to ride. I'm going to do a little riding tomorrow out in Largo/Clearwater for those interested. I'll probably get started at about 630-7PM for those interested and able to make it out.

[WARNING: PLUG]

If anyone's into indie rock/electro and dance parties I'm throwing my first ever at a bar in Sarasota this Thursday. It'll be a weekly thing after that.

Lets go see Andrew! I know I am. Anyone want to drive with me?

You're too quick Luke! I forgot to add that this first Thursday's is going to start late and be smaller as we didn't get to flyer Ringling (the art school) yet. So it might not be as fun as next Thursday's. But come anyway! :D

Dude i'm there for the music and to see a friend! It will be great.

I'll (we'll) be there by 10.

Normally it's going to start at 10, but this Thursday there's an Of Montreal concert here everyone's going to, so we're not starting 'til 12.

I'll get some coffee or something before. Any good cafe's around you?

can someone help me out with getting a box/ packing up a bike for shipping? I need some help. thanks!

I have two. Not sure if I have the packing supplies, but I have two bike boxes.

awesome. I can probably create the packing supplies. do you have the measurements for the boxes? I need to quote someone shipping for my tiny bianchi. Then I need to buy a new bike, lol. Thanks, Doshkel. haha, faded sun.

Holy **** you know The Faded Sun. I love you.

Not sure of the dimensions, but i'll pick up the box from my storage unit and measure it today.

I'm Luke by the way. :)

Oh man. I wanted to go see The Flaming Lips in Gainesville but I had only just heard about them a couple days before the show... nice Luke. I saw them in Charleston once.. the show was crazy.. like freakin' halloween.

See you this weekend? Are you excited?

AM I EXCITED!!! AM I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope.

:p

I saw Nicholas there. I was really excited to see him, but would of shat myself if I saw you.

Ride'r'die yo, ride'r'die.

Alright so....

Who is interested in riding in St. Pete or Clearwater tonight starting at 8 or 9? I was supposed to ride in Tampa tonight with Scotty, but i'm gonna try and get him out here (if you see this Scotty what do you think? haha) with everyone else.

I've got a dinner to go to at 6:00, but if I'm back in St Pete by 10:00, I'll give you a shout on my cellular communication device.

Damn you and your space age technology.

But yea, just talked to Scotty and i'm gonna head down there after all... if I can find my way : /. Haha.

Where are you going to ride in Tampa? A good route is Seminole Heights (I think Scotty still lives there) down Highland to Tampa St, cruise downtown for a bit, then roll down to Channelside, then take Cass to Ybor and holler at the sluts. From there you can take Palm to Florida and cruise back to Sem. Heights. Lots of cool sights on that route.

Lol, Robb, get outta my filthy, sewer-laden mind; slut hollerin', The Heights and downtown it is. The Iguana for food and brews in between, of course. Dinner where? If you're close, lets hook up.

Dude i'm only going to Tampa for da honeys.

I said it once, I'll say it again -- stop calling me "Honey", Luke. Christ.

Scotty I left a message on your phone. I'm gonna just stay home tonight. I'm feeling kinda down and such, so I don't really feel up to going out tonight. I haven't been spending much time with my mom either, so i'm gonna take her out tonight for dinner (yea laugh :p).

Call me back dude :D

YAY Philly kids already in St. Pete tomorrow! Its like time travel!

I have to work friday, but I may be able to get away for a beer.

Oh **** I totally forgot about the box today Dijos. So sorry. I'll write myself a note to get it tomorrow. I swear heh.

Anyone else interested...?

if i'm over this horrible stomach virus i'm down for thurs night.

Anyone else interested...?

What's the chance that you can teleport me from Atl to FL and back to Atl for class tomorrow and then back to FL for the race? eh eh?

Ok fine...how about a repeat on Friday night when the Atl folk are down? You know you wanna.

Absolutely not. Drinking THREE days in a row is simply unheard of in Tampa Bay.

Yeah, I won't be able to make Thursday. What's on for Friday?

Friday is the the Day of Atonement, sinner. You should do nothing but eat celery.

Ok so who wants to skate today before the meet up at NE? I say we do.

Andrew: You coming tonight? 6:30 at NE Cycles. Call me!

I doubt I'll be able to make it that early. I've gotta work on some stuff for the afterparty

:(

But :) about the music.

Call if you are coming down later.

Yeah, I will definitely come tonight - hopefully be there by 8.

You guys can collectively eat a big bag of **** -- I have to work until 4am tonight; I want to ride. Luke/Robb/Todd, if you want to get the boys drunk after everyone rides and they want to see Ybor, you know where to bring 'em ...

My bar, son.

what's your bar, zen?

The place of creepy oddities and dorks galore; The Castle.

Dude going to Ybor is a great idea. Lets totally do it. Hope Ryan is feeling ok...

Edit: Oh yea and Dijos... the box is as follows (hope I measured right):

Length - 52 inches

Width - 8.25 inches

Depth - 27.75 inches

Does that work? I can bring down tonight, or the race. Whatever you want.

Awesome.
