Does anyone have a clue as to when the Flaming Lips set will be on the Mall on Sunday?  What time has this festival ended in past years? 

My parents are visiting that day and I would be able to drag them to the show for an hour or two, but they are not going to have the stamina to hang out for a long time.  I would hate to time it wrong and end up having to sit through moe instead.

here's an idea.  go for the fact that it's a earth day celebration.  you know that thing we live on called a planet that we are destroying.  go learn something useful about how you can make a difference.  the music is just a bonus, not the sole reason to show up.

I'm going to make sure I leave on all my lights, my tv, leave the water running, and my car idiling before I go to this.

Where did you find that out? I should have checked the forum, I passed on today because I didn't want to show up at 12 and have to wait six hours to see them play, or show up later and miss them. Am eager to hear how it went.

He did a fair bit of Heads material at the Warner.
