LOLLAPALOOZA

Lollapalooza was AMAZING! I have to say it was one of the best weekends of my entire life. First and foremost, it was great seeing Will, Caroline, and Ben. They were great companions for the 3 day festival. They like much of the same music as I do so we almost saw all of the same bands with one or two exceptions. They even got me into some new stuff and opened my eyes to the wonder that is a live Crystal Castles show.

It was my first time to Chicago and boy was I impressed. Chicago is a great city. Beautiful skyline, friendly midwesterners, AND you can buy liquor in convenience stores. All clutch. The skyline provided the most amazing backdrop for all of the concerts. During the day you could see all the incredible buildings and architecture Chicago has to offer and at night the illumiated lights from the building reigned through the dark sky. All in all, Chicago was a great setting and I hope to get back again for Lollapalooza and maybe to even see and experience the city too.

I am going to write an individual post about all the bands I saw most of or in full but I figure I will let you know who I saw so you can anticipate whats to come. Lollapalooza also re-energized me and I am now ready to get back on the horse and continue writing in this blog every day. Thank you Lollapalooza. Thank you.
