Lollapalooza'd Out

Dan and Tara at Lolla- Buckingham Fountain

So this past weekend Dan and I pretended to be hip by attending Lollapalooza. It was a ton of fun even if we did do the lazy way of only attending the evenings- we aren't quite hard-core enough to pack it up to be down there all day long. And I am sure the dogs would not have appreciated that anyways! We still managed to see most of the bands that I wanted to see- of course the Chili Peppers put on a good show but I thought that Manu Chao was the surprisingly good band for me- they had a nice beat and where really fun to dance to. I also really enjoyed Death Cab for Cutie.

But beyond the bands- people watching was by far the most entertainment of the event. Yes, we tend to get a little sheltered in our daily world and so it is always fun to see such a diverse crowd chillin together. I could deal with a little less smoking though- don't people know that smoking will kill you?

And yes, in this picture we were goobs and forgot to not look at the screen but at the camera lens! We are still working on our digital camera use... and man were we beat after those 3 days of excitement- good thing we only went half days- I don't think that Dan would have made it through all three days otherwise! So I think that we are done with music events events for a little a while- or at least until we save up a bit more cash after we spend it all on our approaching Big Grown Up Vacation.
