Lollapalooza Day One

A wonderful day for music, and not as hot as it has been in Chicago. The festival was at Grant Park, right where I finished the Chicago Marathon so it brought back lots of positive memories for me.

Here are the performers Brian and I saw today with a score (out of a possible 10):

The Warlocks 1230-130 (6)
Kaiser Chiefs 230-330 (8)
Dashboard Confessional 330-430 (3)
the Bravery 430-530 (6)
Billy Idol 530-630 (9)
the Black Keys (630-645) we left early and got food and more vitamin water (5)
Pixies 730-845 (a 10!) they played all their classics- debaser, monkeys gone to heaven,gigantic, hey, number 13, where is my mind, caribou, cactus,i bleed, wave of mutilation. And they are from Boston so you know they're good!

We skipped Weezer and checked out a really cool dj for a while before getting back on the subway and rolling home- his name was Mark Farina and he was really mixing up some great dance music.

We saw bits of the Redwalls, brian jonestown massacre, and primus as well.

Day two is tomorrow- excited about the killers, kasabian, louis xiv, satellite party,arcade fire, and might stay to hear death cab for cutie but might not as have to get up early for work Monday morning!

Drank something called "replenish" vitamin water and it tasted like grape coolade, it was good, also had some yummy corn on the cob and a boneless bbq pork sandwich.

Back home now and going to check out espn for baseball highlights (red sox won! 3-0 varitek and manny homered) and then go to sleep.

Good night!
