All Aboard The Poopship Destroyer
Wholy shit mang! The Go! Team, The Flaming Lips, and Ween were all incredible this weekend.
We had a team at the doors at 10:00 am so our runners got us seats second row center (click the picture above to see me, and be sure to mark where you were at [click all sizes to get a good view of the crowd]). I was busy at will call but most of the others in our group got to watch sound check.
I really loved the Go! Team. I have been wanting to see them for a long time now. I bought there album as an import last summer not having any idea how much the pounds I payed for it transferred into dollars, just knowing I had to have it. Their show was complete energy and really pumped me up for what was about to come. Ican’t wait for them to get big enough to have an actual horn section.
Because of our coveted seats there was a lot of jockying going on before the flaming lips came on. Two incredibly huge dudes who were itching for a fight took my me and my friends seats when we went to get beer telling my brother that if we wanted our seats we were gonna have to kick their ass for them. Luckily a few friends back him up in the confrontation till security got involved. This all left a strange vibe throughout the night for me. There were a few times after that when I had to tell people who would just try to stand in front to get the hell out of the way. But my veiw was unobstructed for the entire show due to a two-year-old passed out in the row right in front of me.
The Flaming Lips were also tons of fun. Lots of theatrics and good tunes. Their cover of “bohemian rhapsody” was great, that’s a hard song to cover. But “war pigs” was weak I thought. The Santa and Alien dancers cracked me up. I like the fact that a couple got engaged on stage when normally I’d find that incredibly lame. It just seemed to be fitting for the atmoshpere this time around. Anyway, the flips had a great euphoric set and goods times.
Ween completely rocked my socks off. I was exhausted and still smiling by the end. Johnny On The Spot, Dr. Rock, and Buckingham Green, and Gene’s Arabic chanting were all highlights. Deaner fucking killed it all night and Gener’s rockin’ roll ego was larger than all of Red Rocks.
The whole day was great. A total time.
Lots of pictures here and here. And some more after the jump.

Regale You
To remain consistent, I have decided once again to regale bore you with the trivialities of my social and personal life.
Saturday I played in a golf tournament at Wellshire with a bunch of buddies. Our foursome lost. The parliaments won. And so did the bud king cans. I was completely wiped out by the end of the day and spent the remainder of it on the couch watching reruns of “little people big world” which I feel a little bit sorry about.
A couple of weeks back my and G did some camping near Tennyson Canyon. Gorgeous as per typical of Colorado. There are lots of panoramas after the jump.
I have been having very little interest in sharing my opinions lately.

How To Survive A Heatwave Comfortably
It was 103 degrees here on Sunday. Like the rest of the US, Denver is in the middle of a heat wave and it’s tough to stay comfortable. If you’re like me you don’t have AC so I decided to put together a little list of things you might be useful in keeping cool.
- If you work in an airconditioned office stay at work late, sweltering days like this are perfect for getting a little extra work done.
- Take a cold shower (with peppermint soap) before you go to bed.
- If you are using a fan place a bowl of icecubes in front of it.
- Also, draping a sheet soaked in cold water infront of a fan can help.
- Cook what you can using the microwave versus the store or oven.
- Even better, use a slow cooker or crockpot.
- And even better than that, have a cold salad for dinner (iceberg lettuce, damn I’m funny).
- Freeze grapes to eat.
- Eat less. Smaller meals with less protein will reduce metabolic heat.
- Suck on a salted ice cube.
- Drink lots of ice water.
- Wear light colored, loose fitting clothing.
- Even better, wear nothing at all.
- At least take off your shoes or hat while indoors.
- Get a small towel, soak it in water (or even ice water), wring it out a little and put it around your neck.
- Mist yourself with a spray bottle. Then lay in front of the fan.
- Do laundry at night, and try to hang clothes out to dry in the sun instead of running the dryer.
- Drink frozen margs and eat cerviche.(note: this is not really effective).
- Keep the air flowing. Turn on the ceiling fan or box fan in the room.
Don’t make yourself a fan out of paper and use it to wave air past
your face and neck, the activity created by
waving actually burns calories and raises your core temperature. - Sleep in a ’spread eagle’ position.
- Read Jack London’s “To Build A Fire“.
- Make a homemade airconditioner (I’ve never actually tried this one but it looks cool [pun intended]).
- Get a chillow (haven’t tried this one either but it seems like it’d work)
- Go to a movie / library / bookstore / mountains.
What do you do to stay cool?

Join me tomorrow, World Jump Day, in the attempt to drive planet Earth into a new orbit by having millions of people jump simultaneously. Scientific research has proven that this change of planetary positioning would very likely stop global warming, extend daytime hours, and create a more homogenous climate.
Look here for inspiration.

And look here for another cool jumping project.In the “Disembodied Cuisine” art project, they attempt to grow frog skeletal muscle over biopolymer for potential food consumption. A biopsy is be taken from an animal which will continue to live and be displayed in the gallery along side the growing “steak”. This installation will culminate in a “feast”. The idea and research into this project began in Harvard in 2000. The first steak they have grown was made out of pre-natal sheep cells (skeletal muscle). We used cells harvested as part of research into tissue engineering techniques in utero. The steak was grown from an animal that was not yet born.
