I'm with Julie, and we are just walking out of a Hit Machine concert. I remember that there was a Crowded House concert also nearby the same evening, so we walk over there to see if it is still going.

The show is still going on, but it is near the end so they don't make us pay to get in. We find a place to sit along the left edge of the room, and very soon, a guy comes around. He's selling 3D glasses for watching the show, which cost $5, and he says you can keep them if you want, but if you want to give them back after the show, they would appreciate it. They are complicated and heavy contraptions of electronics and optics.

We get glasses and find seats nearer the front, to the left of the stage. The show is extremely elaborate, and the 3D effects are amazing. We seem to lift up and fly above the rest of the audience, like on a thrill ride, feeling the G-forces as we swoop around, then settling back to our seats.

The show is incredible. The sets are painted in swooping patterns, sort of in Nick Seymour's style, but with more psychedelic colors. Each song is elaborately staged like a video. At one point a young girl sings with her head sticking through a hole in the set, allowing a new 3D body to be drawn around her, and Neil Finn pokes his head through another similar hole. The songs are all familiar, but this 3D stage production is something entirely new. We are quite impressed, and wish we'd bothered to show up earlier.

The show ends and the lights come on, and a girl comes to us, passing out cookies. She only has about six cookies, of different types, which is obviously not enough for the whole audience. At first I decline, and Julie takes one, but then for some reason I change my mind and take a huge chocolate chip cookie, the size and shape of a crooked piece of cake, and start eating it. It turns into a brownie, which is rather suspicious for being loaded with some sort of drugs.

Then since we took the cookies, the girl pulls out a baggie full of what appear to be jello shots, sliced in little squares, and offers us one. We decline, pretty sure at that point that they are hallucinogenic and wondering if we should even be eating the cookies. The girl is very nice, but a little insistent in her kindness. No no, we say, those are LSD, aren't they. Sure, she says, but it's fine, she'll stay with us and we'll have fun. Yes, but we'll be up all night, and we need to get home and get to bed. She seems disappointed.
