{ feeling : sniffly
{ hearing : andrew bird - fake palindromes

Andrew Bird was pretty much the highlight of my Lollapalooza Friday even though we missed a good fifteen or so minutes of his set for some temporary merch hunting. The find of the day was Zap Mama. Seriously, despite the fact Joe and I arrived five minutes before their set ended, it was pretty damned good. I need me some more of that at some point. Also today?

RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN

In other news, a gal named Claudia is visiting our fair city for the weekend. She's from San Jose, California where everyone gets around via car and not via feet. I feel kind of bad I dragged her around the city on bad shoes yesterday. I love this city. I'm from the city in the midwest best city in the whole wide wide world afterall but I guess transitioning straight from constant motor vehicle status to none, public transit, and just plain foot power is probably intense.

Also intense? Apparently someone died today at Lolla but the details are sketchy. That's kind of scary.

Tomorrow is another day and another day of free LollaLounging. Although there's less rain than today (it rained until around 8pm), hellish heat and humidity is expected even though this has been the coolest summer in Chicago in a while. Lame timing. Super lame.
