this is probably going to be fantastic. not as incredible as all points west, but great in its own nonetheless. i have yet to see the flaming lips live [rumor has it, they are one of the best shows ever]. if you're in [or have the motivation to travel to] monticello, ny from sept 11-13, check out the festival. i can't make any guarantees but i bet you won't be disappointed.
