I Am Totally Partying: Streaming Lollapalooza in the Basement

by Rob Lambert

Dude, I am totally partying. While I do some work on my laptop I am watching Lollapalooza streaming onto the iMac in my basement. Right now it’s Interpol, they’re okay.

Yesterday, I actually went for an 18 mile bike ride along Lake Michigan and circled the perimeter of Lollapalooza and watched partial sets of STS9 and the Roots over the fence. That’s right, I partied yesterday too!

I am honestly mostly done with festivals of this type, I guess I am just getting older … if I want to see a band I’d rather just see just them at a smaller joint like Shubas or the Metro or the Vic or the Aragon or the Riv … that and my aging body isn’t too keen on 95 degrees and high humidity and being trapped with 40 minute lines for $5 bottles of water.
