Lollapalooza

Lollapalooza was an experience like no other.  (For those who don't know, it's a 3 day outdoor concert in Grant Park, Chicago).  I could go on forever about all the cool bands I saw/heard:  Radiohead, Rage, Kanye, The GO! Team, Gnarls Barkley, Jamie Lidell, Foals, The Octopus Project, Tally Hall, and many more.  

I drew this while taking a break from the heat with an ice cold coke (Ah!  So refreshing!  Especially after being so hot, sticky, and dirty all day.  But it was worth it).  Just people watching.  I've never seen so many hundreds of people in one place in my life.  The band line-up was so eclectic it drew all kinds of people.  That big flag-thing was a meeting place, because it was nearly impossible to find my buddy if we separated.

This was just before Jamie Lidell came on.  My friend Travis and I were dancing our booties off!  Jamie and his band dressed in these crazy outfits and were jumping all over the stage.  My favorite was the karate saxophone player - he played 2 saxophones at once!  This is the best part about seeing music LIVE:  The performance!  The action!!  The experience!!  You don't get no booty-shaking-karate-saxophonist from just listening to a CD, let me tell you.
