Lollapalooza is Approaching

Tell your boss you’re taking Friday off, buy a 3-day pass, and start the trek North to Chicago for the nation’s baddest music festival, Lollapalooza. Tickets aren’t cheap, but you get what you pay for: three days of musical juggernauts (ex: The Strokes, The Arcade Fire, Hot Chip, and of course Soundgarden) and up-and-comers (ex: Wavves, the XX, The Morning Benders, and Dawes). The only difficult decision is which bands to see once you’re there, and who’s couch you’re going to crash on for the weekend. Stay tuned for Eleven’s yearly jaunt through Chicago, and hopefully we can document our antics in a legible manner.
