Keep your penis in that timecapsul and see what the future thinks ov yr mind and yr penis and mind when music was the things you did for summer fun back then which is now. at concerts.

someone have me over for dessert. i got a sweeeeet tooth?

I'll be at the Saturday Virgin show, LCD is what sold me on it. I would've went to Lollapalooza to catch them w/ Daft Punk, but then I'd have to take off on Friday. I'll see Daft Punk at Keyspan.... The proximity of Virgin won me over.

im going to lolla, all around it will be a better weekend. baltimore is depressing.

Lolla it is (my home turf, anyway, so it's an easy choice). I'm not going to bust my ass like I did last year, though. I kind of overdid it.

My plan of attack:
http://fightingtheyouth.blogspot.com/2007/07/lolla-plans.html

Virgin conflicts according to Productshop:

AUGUST 4TH
Shout Out Out Out (12-12:50) vs Fountains of Wayne (12-12:45)
Cheap Trick (1-1:50) vs The Fratellis (1:20- 2:10)
Amy Winehouse (2:10-3) vs Paulo Nutini (2:35 - 3:35)
LCD Soundsystem (5:30-6:30) vs Beastie Boys (6:15-7:35) vs TV on the Radio (7:15-8:15)
The Police (8:05-9:50) vs Modest Mouse (8:45-10)

AUGUST 5TH
CSS (12-12:50) vs Dan Deacon (12-12:30) vs Girl Talk (12:30-1:10)
Regina Spektor (1:10-2) vs Matisyahu (1:30-2:25)
Spoon (2:25-3:15) vs Explosion in the Sky (2:50-3:45)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs (5:15-6:15) vs Wu-Tang Clan (5:45-6:45)
Smashing Pumpkins (8:30-10) vs M.I.A. (9:10-10)

Depending on the layout of the stages LCD/TVOTR/BB and CSS/DD/GT are killers.

LOLLAPALOOZA all the way!!

Hittin up that Mets/Cubs game at Wrigley on Friday from 1-4, then hustling over to Grant Park in time to have The Rapture kick off the Friday night dance party beginning at 5pm (followed by LCD and Daft Punk). Going to be an incredible weekend.

I'll be at Lollapalooza. Managed to make it a cheaper weekend than Virgin would have been.

Hotel prices in Chicago kills the deal.

I wish I was going to one of those. I'll see CSS on Friday at Studio B at least.

Hmmmm did i not see most of these bands in much smaller places in the last couple of weeks where they were much better than at big giant outdoor shows like this. and the others im seeing upcoming in the next few weeks at smaller places. yeah thats right i have

not gonna go to either of these lame events.
im saving all that money for drinks, staying in the city and seeing the police on friday night and blonde redhead on sunday. Oh and monday laughing at you idiots who do trek to those lame o festivals and claim they were the best thing ever

Hey Anon 2:28, nothing says "cool shit" like "saving money for drinks" and "seeing the police." Rock and Roll Brah.

Don't spill any of those drinks on your girlfriend's implants.

i thought there would be more hipster / corporations / high rents are ruining the world hating on this particular article...so i wanted to make sure BV fans were not dissapointed:

imagine little dick cheney on the "lil bush" show on comedy central:

mmrrahhh, mmrrahhh, hipsters suck, mmrrahhh, mmrrahhh, mmrrahhh, corporate festivals are not cool, mmrrahhh, mmrrahhh, mmrrahhh, mmrrahhh, too expensive, mmrrahhh, mmrrahhh, mmrrahhh, mmrrahhh, lollapolooza was only cool when i went to it, back in the 90's, mmrrahhh, mmrrahhh.

Hotel prices aren't that terrible in Chicago - found a nice place for less than $175 a night. Just had to book early. Plus, it's worth it just for Daft Punk & Pearl Jam.

hey camp tiger claw---

i reckon that's why he's not going, to save up to get her a pair of implants. or maybe to get himself a pair of calf implants, since those are all the rage in some circles.

Lolla all the way. Convenient, quick flights were $200 if you booked early.

$60 for 3-day Lolla presale tik & $150 total for 4 nights at a hostel ain't bad. so i go there. besides Virgin is missing some of the acts i love.

Lolla baby...

Daft Punk, LCD, Kings of Leon, Roots, Pearl Jam...all my faves. Can't fucking wait. Baltimore sucks.

Lolla back Young'n!! Whoo! Whoo!

Airfare under $200
Skip a hotel and stay w/ friends

Daft Punk, LCD, YYY, The Roots, TVOTR, PB&J, Flosstradamus, The Rapture, Matt & Kim, M.I.A. (Do you really want me to go on????)

just gave up my reservation at the cheapest hotel close to Grant Park in Chicago -- might be available now, if you call --
Red Roof Inn
CHICAGO DOWNTOWN
162 E ONTARIO ST
CHICAGO, IL 60611
Phone: 312-787-3580
Fax: 312-787-1299

I got the $60 three-day and am staying at the hostel as well. And the (also cheap) flight's so short you can fly out Friday morning and save yourself a night's accommodations.

I don't see any conflicts for Virgin Festival, at least not for my two days. You can hop pretty comfortably from Shout Out Out Out Out, to Cheap Trick, leave early for The Fratellis, then hang out until Felix. Then it's LCD Soundsystem, which slightly overlaps Beastie Boys' start time, and then hit TV on the Radio and Modest Mouse. (Fuck the Police.)

Day two is even simpler: Dan Deacon and Girl Talk back to back in the morning, then Regina, Spoon, leave Spoon early for Explosions, stay till Bad Brains, catch YYY, see the second-half of Wu-Tang, go back for Interpol, and then finish the night off dancing to M.I.A. or reliving high school days with 311. (Fuck the Smashing Pumpkins.)

Lolla all the way! More stages, more room, more bands, better location, better afterparties, better nightlife, Daft Punk.

I can't fucking wait for Lollapalooza!!!

I might contract out an ambulance to be on standby all weekend. It's time to get nuts!!

going chicago on vacation so I got tickets for lollapalooza when I found out it was the same weekend. cant wait for !!!. first time seeing them

i am headed to chicago.
i survived rock the bells now i'm going to try and survive this. i'm getting too old for this.
man vs wild

Lollapalooza for sure! i'm flying up fri morning and cant wait. Is it really even a choice!?! Chicago alone wins hands down against baltimore.

Going to VFest - as much as I'd love to go to Chicago for Lolla, I can't afford it right now.

Excited for LCD, Fountains of Wayne and Beastie Boys, though.

Hooray Lollapalooza! Everyone go watch The High Class Elite.

im guessing its too late to make plans now but if you need a hotel, consider something out by o'hare in the worst case scenario. thats about a 45 minute ride on the blue line to the festival. and prices out there are much cheaper, like in the 100-130 dollar range. i did that last year and it was no trouble at all. this year im staying with a friend.

loop hotels are so expensive(300 per night when i checked last year), if cubs are in town i think hotels get booked because people come from all over the midwest, and the mets are visiting? forget it, hotels are probably booked solid.

I'm going to Lolla and hoping to survive the 95 degree heat. WTF I am way too old for this #$%@!

Austin City Limits Festival blows both of these away.
