Hey Drew, I'm writing from Colorado. I am from Oklahoma City and I am a huge lips fan. So I thought I would drop you some information. I was going out with a girl who worked in a pharmacy next to a coffee shop called the ******** (censored!) cafe. She knew I lovedthe lips butshe didn't even know what they looked like. So one day Wayne walks in , dressed in unusual attire as always, and she thinks" I bet that guy is a Flaming lip" So sheaskshim if he's in a band andhe says, "Yes, the flaming lips" Needless to say I just about shit my pants when she told me about all this. So I gave her my guitar and my copy of Raygun which had them on the cover and he signed them both. She also gave him ssome stuff which he was supposed to do something to and then I was supposed to get it. But we broke up and I don't even know what it is. But she did say thaat Wayne thought it was cool. I actually wroteto the address which you gave and asked him for it. By the way their house is awsome. It's got gargoyles on all thecorners. So the cafe where he hung out closed down so I was driving by another *********(censored again!) and thought what the hell I'll give it a try maybe he's in there. so I go in and sure enough there he is with his girlfriend. I went in there another time and brought an A-Team lunchbox with me. They decorate their house, (Michael and Waynes's )with lunchboxes. Hethought it was cool and I took a picture of me with him and the lunchbox. I also got to meet him backstage at Denver. Some drunk guy who was friend of a roadie or something took some pity on me. Well, in conclusion I consider myself very fortunate to be able to see these guys all the time and Wayne on occassion. That's about the only benefit of living in Oklahoma. Sorry about the type-o's butI'm pretty buzzed. Take it easy and thanks for the site. P.S. Wayne drives a red ******************** (it's a car alright??? - drew)

by the way my name is paul cross
