For the Love of Lasers

As a quote-unquote adult, you aren't supposed to like laser shows. Your aesthetic sensibility should be much too evolved for some ironic stoner trip through outdated sci-fi atmospherics and a classic rock soundtrack.

As a quote-unquote adult, you aren't supposed to like laser shows. Your aesthetic sensibility should be much too evolved for some ironic stoner trip through outdated sci-fi atmospherics and a classic rock soundtrack.

The colors are very pretty, and you're zipping at superspeed through the cosmos. It's almost like being a kid again -- a really high kid.
