"The tears turned to hysterical laughter for a few hours.".

😄 I get it.

🤔 Considering I've seen 4 of my 5 favorite bands around 20 xs each that's 80 shows. And many more performers less times.

I'm pretty positive laughter has some positive biochemical, and energetic properties. Sure know it makes me feel good!

I'll even laugh out loud on the NYC Subway reading something really funny.

While not usually for happy reasons - turns out crying gets rid of some bad bio-chemicals. Scientists tested the tears of subjects cutting onions, and those crying from stressful situations.

Turns out they found harmful chemicals in the stress tears, but not the culinary ones!
