Lollapalooza - DAY THREE


DID YOU KNOW

Apparently, in the USA it is unusual to have milk with your coffee? 
I confused the girls at Dunkin' Donuts the first day. 
The next day we tried to get coffee at McDonald's and the girl at the drive-thru was SO confused. I had to buy a seperate milk and add it myself!  
The NEXT day we went to 7-11, thinking that they'd have milk at the coffee bar.... NO!!!
Check out  the lack of milk and the abundance of syrups, flavored creams, and cream substitutes!
I buckled. And drank coffee that tasted like ice cream.


ANYHOO


Off to LOLLAPALOOZA!


Yeasayer

I just started listening to them. They remind me a little of Vampire Weekend... All the percussion I guess?



MGMT

I love them. There is nothing more I could add to that.


Cypress Hill

Yeah. There's nothing I can say about this either. I was just that happy. Happy in that strange fog. 
Hmm... It sure was foggy that day...


Soundgarden

YAY!!
*** and was it just me, or did they have sound problems half-way through? It seemed like their mics had problems? Did anyone else notice that too?**


In the vid below I love how the song gets so sexy and slow around 2:40...

Soundgarden - Rusty Cage


All in all, Lollapalooza was one of the best organized events of this kind I've been to. Getting in was seamless, no line-ups for access, or washrooms, or food, or beer... Moving around the park was fluid.  
And there was a lot of green consciousness: recycling, clean-up incentives, etc.
There were water re-filling stations so you could refill your water bottles. 
There was so much room everywhere, so if you felt like leaving the crowd and sitting down,
you could.
Lollapalooza was great. I can't wait to see what the line-up is for next year!!!
