June 9, 2003 — Bricktown Event Center.

The Flaming Lips. Liz Phair. Starlight Mints.

That night wasn’t just a great bill. It was work.

Assistant promoter rep. Managing runners. Checking in merch. Counting money. Keeping the machine moving while the crowd kept coming. And it was a big merch night.

Because the Flaming Lips don’t do average merch.

They’re known for those killer tour posters. Unique designs that feel like art prints, not souvenirs. I had one. Got it signed. One of those pieces you don’t just toss in a box.

Years later, after a fire, that poster showed up again in the rubble. Still there. Still mine. Not mint anymore, but surviving a fire gives it a different kind of value.

That’s live music.

You remember the show.
 You remember the job.
 And sometimes you find the proof of it years later, burned around the edges but still standing.
