Lolla Review
Aug. 15th, 2010 07:15 am Took me long enough, and it's a bit tl;dr but:
Lollapalooza was breathtakingly amazing. Granted, I don’t go to concerts all of the time, but damn, it was like a freaking religious experience. I saw almost every band that I wanted to, got my shoes signed by the members of Stars, Phoenix, and The Antlers, and I just had the time of my life. To better put it in perspective, it was like going to a party where everyone loves and appreciates each band as much as you do. I’m still kind of in awe; I mean these are bands that two years ago I was like, “damn, I love so-and-so, but I’ll probably never get a chance to see them live.”
Brian (my brother) went with me for two of the three days, but we didn’t really hang out much, as he’s a 30 year-old Lolla pro who was content with sitting down 200 yards from the stage, and I, a whippersnapper of 18, was totes in the mosh pit. I had to wear my huge black boot so I wasn’t high off my ass on narcotics all weekend, but it seemed like a small price to pay to see my favorite bands up close.
