The UnEnclosed | Festival Review: Lollapalooza 2008, Day 3

Posted on February 21, 2010 by Greg

I have a rehearsal from 10am to 4pm, and it actually goes that long to my dismay. I know I will miss Chromeo, who I missed most of a couple of years ago when I got there late for their set at Intonation Fest.

The UnEnclosed | Festival Review: Lollapalooza 2008, Day 1

Posted on February 21, 2010 by Greg

Extremely hot, very humid. We get there and there’s this tremendous line in each direction. Because nobody in the Lolla “Ask Me” crew was mentioning that wrist band folks get to breeze right through the VIP line, Margaret and I walk all the way to the back of the line
