A couple weeks ago was Lollapalooza, a well know music festival that lasted all weeked from Aug 7-9 starting at 11 am every morning and ending around 10 pm every night. My roommate, Lindsay, and I got our tickets as soon as the list of bands that were going to be there came out because Kings of Leon was headlining and they are our favorite! We bought Katie a Friday ticket for her birthday and then her dad bought her and her boyfriend Steve tickets for Sunday so it was definitely a BFF event. Since we got the tickets so early we got a great deal: basically 3 days for the price of 2 plus the ability to come and go as we please.
It was such a blast. Some of the bands we saw were: Manchester Orchestra, Ben Folds, Asher Roth, The Decemberists, KINGS OF LEON!, Ben Harper and the Relentless 7, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Airborne Toxic Event, SNOOP DOGG, and the Killers, along with a bunch of cool DJ's that were mixing tracks on the spot.
Day 1 it poured so much that we went home to change from our cute dresses to rainboots and sweatshirts. We stood in the same spot for 2 1/2 hours just so we could be up close and personal for Kings of Leon only to be harrassed by a couple of drunk boys which resulted in us (not really meaning to) but starting a fight. The fight resulted in said gross boys losing half of their belongings and leaving the crowd. Serves them right. But remember kids: violence is not the answer.
Day 2 was mellow.
Day 3 was the day of all days. Snoop Dogg would be performing and to pay him and his hip hop ways tribute...we dressed like so:
although there were funny looks and comments, it was totally worth it to dance like a gangsta and look the part as well. After Snoop was the Killers which was basically just a big dance party.
This festival will for sure be a staple in our yearly plans. Can't wait to see who's in the line up next year! :-)
