lollapalooza 07.


I've been kinda down on spending time in front of the computer for the last couple of months, so I apologize for being remiss in updating.

August 3-5, I volunteered at Lollapalooza 07, running the Mulletorium at the Mindfield stage.

I perpetrated many crimes against hair, at the clients's requests mind you, and had a great deal of fun. I will be doing it again next year.

I was occupied volunteering everyday until like 5:30 pm, so I really got to only see the big shows, but it was a good time. I saw Spoon, Interpol, Snow Patrol, Daft Punk, LCD Soundsystem, Mink, My Morning Jacket, Satellite Party (TWICE!), Pearl Jam, and Patti Smith.

On the last day, I got a VIP wristband to the Lolla-Lounge, so I got a mini-massage, drank a bunch of free booze, ate some food, and loaded up my knapsack with snacks galore (they have great treats for the VIPs, so I helped myself...), and enjoyed Pearl Jam and My Morning Jacket, far away from the gigantic-ass crowds. Oh, and there were fireworks.

Unfortunately, I didn't have my new camera until that Sunday, so the only photos of previous days are crappy-ass cellphone pix that I may or may not future upload.
