I was the chick at the Wakarusa festival wearing a t-shirt that said, "PLEASE let us DANCE on stage". As desperate as the shirt may sound, I was not aggressively pursuing the roadies or standing at the main stage all day long. I trusted that my shirt would do the job for me.
I was eventually presented with the opportunity to meet Wayne Coyne, dance my ass off, and be a part of the stage experience. There was just one catch. I had to dance completely nude! I entertained the idea for all of zero seconds and decided to dance from a discrete patch of grass in the middle of the crowd. I was so attached to the illusion created by my clothes that dismissed an opportunity to meet the most creative and talented individuals of my day. Wayne Coyne said that he was inspired by the music festivals during the Zeppelin generation where women striped down to dance and be free. Thus, he brought out women to dance naked on stage. In doing so he created and opportunity for us all to strip away the layers of our illusion about who we are. I find it funny that my t-shirt was actually the antithesis of my opportunity to dance on stage. In the future, when I really want to participate in some life experience, I'll go naked. |

Well, so much for the illusion of spontaneity...
something about the whole thing is kinda creepy |

Yeah... I thought it was a bit creepy as well.
However, I was very proud of the girls that braved the experience. They had a lot of guts. And typical of all of my lips experiences... it did give me/us a lot to think about. |

the lips really need to get over this objectification of women's bodies thing. it is distasteful. did they invite any men up to the stage to dance naked?

I'll admit that I was one of those chicks on stage. and I entertained the thought and decided to just go balls out, because it would be hilarious. i had nothing to prove I just thought it would be great.
special thanks goes out to Team Full Monty! |

I'm sorry, I missed the part where anyone is forced to cooperate. You're doing the women that participate a huge disservice by assuming they're not capable of making up their own minds. I do agree that it's odd that a group of straight men would rather see naked women than men. Odd notion. |

Kick Ass! You are my hero! I really wish that I had had the guts to have done it. I've since learned that dancing naked in front a a group is a sacred tantra ritual, (not kidding). It is a sign of liberation and freedom. Did you get to hang out with the Lips and meet Wayne? |

Freedom is just another word for doing what Wayne Coyne tells you.

That's fucking hillarious dude! Seriously though, when I was dancing in the middle of the crowd laughing to tears with my friends, I was doing what Wayne said to do. I think that Wayne knows what I am thinking before I do.

i know that nobody was forced up there at gunpoint or anything. I'm just saying that the whole concept itself is ridiculously tacky. |

OMG, von Bobo, that's your lady that posted this? The point is moot for me because there is no one in the entire universe that would ever ask me to do such a thing...lest everyone be blinded by my pale doughy-ness... but I thought long and hard about what I would have done hypothetically in the situation... and I still don't know. Even if I kept my face covered ('cuz I don't think the gov't would like it much if it got back to them that one of their little Social Security drones was off getting her naked on in public), I still have recognizeable tattoos... but I other than that, I am an awful exhibitionist and would have done my very best to wiggle my rolls for everyone there!  |
