To say a Flaming Lips concert is a joyous experience would be an understatement.  Their show is filled with constant explosions of confetti, giant balloons, dancing yeti (seriously, they had people dressed like the abominable snowman dancing on stage with them) but most importantly music expressing hope for the future and the celebration of the life we have.  After the second or third song, Wayne, the lead singer, told the crowd that “the best part about a Flaming Lips show is that, for a while, you get to forget about hate and enjoy your life.”  While the atmosphere was somewhere between the greatest birthday party ever and welcoming alien life form, the Lips made their message clear through their music; we should celebrate that love and peace are real and possible.  It was a great show and an even better escape from reality, even if it was just for a bit.

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes – let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It’s hard to make the good things last
