Inflatable ball crowdsurfing was so awesome and is now something I, as well, want to do in life.

Hipsterism came mainly from the fact that it was some Student Board of the University of Arkansas that brought them to town. Since students could get free tickets the mixture was approximately 49% stoners, 49% hipsters, 2% old people like my gf and me. If everyone had to purchase tickets for cash, I'm sure the crowd make-up would have differed greatly.
My only gripe, is that the show peaked in the first five minutes with the running in the inflatable ball, the giant balloons, shooting confetti and **** off into the crowd. The rest was good, but it was never as good as that part.
Also, if anyone knows why the guitar he uses during Yoshimi has the giant plastic dome around the part where he strums the strings I would appreciate knowing.

Reason: took out my picture because it is like a stock photo of every flaming lips show ever held.
