Flamingo Institute Prom Night

July 4th, 1998


Everyone wearing tuxedos and formal dresses. 
Probably fifteen white covered tables, a 
professional sound system and a large stage 
broadly displaying "Flamingo Prom Night" and 
"sponsored by haagen dazs". Nevertheless, the 
result could have been compared with Martini's 
standard. Lyme had to use the same small 
rehearsal amps used many times before and 
amplify them through microphones. The result 
was catastrophic. The instruments were 
improperly mixed, and the output was hardly 
understandable. 
Despite everything, the show started off with 
Boy's project band, Flu. The easily digestible 
alterna-pop-rock music received a positive 
reaction from the public (which was made mostly 
of lecturers and personalities). Lyme opened 
with "size does matter", which received a 
doubtful round of applause. But, after a few
mood changing words from Javier, Lyme decided 
to display, having being warned not to 
beforehand by the event organizers, a fistful 
of anger with Rage's Bullet in the Head. 
Suddenly, faces turned to each other among the 
public. The band had decided to show their 
other side in the most unsuitable situation. 
A completely unexpected performance was 
displayed, and climaxed only with the next song, 
Rage's Freedom. By then, Lyme was immersed into 
their own flow of energy, and didnt seem to be 
disturbed by the faces of astonishment present 
on most of the public, or the people leaving 
the ballroom.
Lyme walked off silently after playing. 
Note that the performance was during Lyme's five 
member period.
