Best Seat in the Bathroom

I couldn’t go to the Flaming Lips show last night, so I went into the bathroom and had my own concert:

I shotgunned a beer and poured syrup on the floor so it would be sticky. Then I shut the door, cut the lights, cranked a space heater, took my shirt off, and smoked a Swisher Sweet. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots was in a boombox on full volume. I screamed and held a kick ball over my head like it was the Bubble Ball. There was a pen-light light show.

For the encore, I pressed repeat on “Flight”, I mean “Fight Test.” Man, I couldn’t believe they played it five times in a row like that. I’d never seen a band do that for an encore before. But it ruled.

The Flaming Lips concert last night was amazing! Best stage show I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of live shows.

Damnit. Now that I think about it, my pen light show totally sucked.

Trent, you're not the only one that screwed up that title: http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Content?oid=322290

Wish I could've been there (the real show, not your bathroom - though that sounds like fun too).

Actually, you can take Trent's formula and have any concert you want in the bathroom. Although I would say for heavier bands, you have to smoke something nastier than a Swisher Sweet.

Dude, for a better light show flip the light on and off as fast as you can. Instant strobe.

No way. I did that EXACT same thing.

Dude when you're having concerts in the bathroom, you take your pants off, not your shirt. That is basic party in the bathroom knowledge.

and you gotta squirt conditioner everywhere. In the heat of the moment, stuff gets squirted.
