I’m recovering from Lollapalooza today – probably should have taken today off, seeing as how I’m old now and can’t really stay up until 1 am and still get up at 6. Ok, who am I kidding? I could never do that. I’ve always been a lame-o.
Overall, Lolla was way better than when I went in 94, but not as good as I imagine 92 would have been if my mom would have let me go. (Maybe it was 93? I can’t remember becaus I’m OLD.)
Things that were better:
- Beer. I was not of legal drinking age in 94. Not even close.
- Bands. More of them! We saw Friendly Fires, the Ravonettes, Kaiser Chiefs, Neko Case, Dan Auerbach, Lou Reed, Mstrkrft, Silversun Pickups and The Killers.
- Timeliness. I didn’t go with Lacy, so we didn’t arrive 5 hours late.
- Company. In 94 I broke up with my boyfriend shortly before Lolla. I planned to sell my ticket at the gates but we were running so late that it was going to be too late, so I brought Lacy’s little sister. She’s a nice girl, but I think she was 12 at the time.
Things that were worse:
- All the asshole trying to walk while talking on their mobile phones.
