I meant to comment on this the first time I read it. I agree, good call.

i haven't been to Lolla yet. I researched Grant Park and saw that it's ridiculously impossible to switch between shows (unless they're right next to one another) so I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Either way, it's gonna be a great time. I'll give you all a full recap once I get back.

If you happen to be riding the train heading north after the festival, I'll tell you everyone walked directly west to the nearest train stop, while I walked further south to the stop before that one. I was one of the first people on the train, got a nice spot to sit near the window, then witnessed 4,000+ people trying to cram on the train at the next stop. Many had to wait for the next train.

We made it to an aftershow on time because of this.

my hotel is four blocks away from Grant Park (Club Quarters- Central Loop) - so i don't anticipate going north after the festival... but if I do, I'll keep this in mind for sure.

I was interested in doing one of the aftershows, but I just don't think I'll be able to afford it this time around. - maybe next year, should I go to lolla again

hopping the car tomorrow for the big drive to Chicago! This should be fun!!

So, Lolla was a success. I was able to see everybody I wanted. While it is a ridiculous walk from one side of the park to the other - it was doable.

However, the beer selection at Lolla was surprisingly worse than at Sasquatch. The ONLY options at Lolla consisted of shitty budweiser products.

Of all the bands I saw, I think my favorite ten performances were by:

Cut Copy
Arcade Fire
Chromeo
the Dodos (special guest - Neko Case)
Frightened Rabbit
the Big Pink
the Constellations
Spoon
Phoenix
the Black Keys

Is anyone headed for Lollapalooza this year? As seems to be the trend of this year's music fests, their early bird tickets sold in a matter of minutes. I'm considering going, but I really would have to look at cost of travel + lodging to see if it's worth the trek.

Posted by Catherine Sun Chips on Apr 8, 2011, 3:17pm

I'm near boycotting Lollapalooza this year. They keep delaying their line-up this year and its driving me nuts. The early birds sold out so quickly because the scalpers once again joined forces and took the tix to screw over the doods who are waiting for the actual line-up to come out before peeps justify going.

Soapbox.

EDIT-don't get me wrong--I went last year and had a blast. Its going to be a great time. Its their 20 year, for goodness sakes, but I just wish they'd announce the line-up!!! (only because I'm trying to decide between Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza)

Posted by Whoopsie Goldberg on Apr 8, 2011, 4:50pm

I'm going, and I'm not too excited about having to wait another two and a half weeks for the lineup, but fuck it that's gonna go by pretty quick. I just hope the whole eminem, muse, foo rumor is untrue.

This was a fun thread to re-read.

I no longer agree. What a shitty correlation.
