My Lollapalooza Experience

DAY 1

-Arrive at Grant Park
-Run around like a maniac trying to find the band I want to see (Cursive)
-After many laps around the park, countless text messages from friends there, and just feeling like an idiot all around, finally get to the right place
-Can't find friends
-Watch 1st band while attempting to locate friends
-Realize I will never find them and just watch the show
-Realize that there's a good chance I also might literally sweat to death
-1st show ends
-Meet up with friends and run to the beer booth
-Run to next stage with warm beer in hand to see Panic At The Disco
-Sit down on hot grass
-Realize I should have written a will because I am indeed going to die from the heat
-Close my eyes and fantasize about swimming in a pool with Jared Leto
-Realize I don't look perfect in a bikini and promptly end fantasy
-Get up 1/2 way through the set and run with one friend to yet another stage to see Jeremy Enigk
-Leave above mentioned friend and go get a hot dog
-Devour hot dog
-Go back to friend and slowly cook to death for an hour while watching Jeremy sing
-Buy some delicious lemonade and leave out a little side exit

DAY 3 (I didn't attend day 2)

-Get dropped off and RUN to the stage that is the farthest away from the entrance to see Nickel Creek
-Find friends immediately
-Decide to be smart and stand under a tree in the shade
-Wish I could have a picnic
-Start to realize that Nickel Creek is not playing any of my favorite songs and that I only have about 10 minutes left before I have to cut out early to get a good spot for the next band
-Decide Nickel Creek can suck it for only playing their new crap and leave disheartened
-Quickly get over it as I head off to see 30 Seconds To Mars (Jared Leto's band)
-Arrive to find 300 people who also had the bright idea of getting their early.
-Find a good spot anyway
-Thank God that it's not a million degrees out side and...for making Jared Leto so beautiful (Yeah, that was a gag worthy comment, I'm quite aware)
-Totally rock out
-Watch Jared leto climb up 40 feet of scaffolding to sing a song
-Secretly wish that he would fall. Into my arms (Okay, I'm totally joking- I didn't think that at all. I mean, maybe for like a second, but it wasn't any kind of fully developed thought or anything.)
-Text friends during show since no one would come watch it with me
-Go get more lemonade and try to leave out of same little exit
-Get told it's "not an exit anymore" and have to walk 20 miles out of my way to get out of the stupid park
- Go straight to rehearsal


Did anyone else go to Lolla????
