Green Man: Tweeted by Wayne Coyne

We met Wayne Coyne – lead singer of the Flaming Lips – on the way back to the car.

“Wow check this out,” he said, and stopped to chat with us over the brain, the centrepiece for the Synaesthesia Game. Turns out he had also made a giant brain himself for Hallowe’en, about a storey tall. For a man who wears giant hands so he can spray the audience with laser beams, this is hardly surprising.

“Hang on, let me get a photo – I’m going to tweet this.”

And so he did.

Sometimes –  not all the time, but sometimes – being unable to escape the internet, even in a wet field in Wales, is a pretty cool thing.
