Loved Vancouver Dome Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon immersive experience: soundtrack + laser lights. At HR McMillan Planetarium and its iconic crab statue. Used my Loop earplugs. @thedomevancouver #hearingprotection #music #lasers

+1 point if you guessed a chocolate zucchini cake! The batter was amazeballs.
