Day 3 Of My Incarceration

well im off in a few hours to join some pals at lolla 07 and im psyched outta my mind. it was hard deciding who we were going to watch 'when', and we're splitting up into diffrent groups becuz of it, i guess starting tomorrow. evryone else is already there, so i guess that will make me fashionably late. chicago is fuckin humid in the summer but i dont care, i bet it will still be cool to be there, specially at nite. im still not clear on whether or not our tents or whatever you call them have aircond. but im gonna be a little bitch and say that i hope they do. those are long ass days and they feel even longer w/o air. and beer too. i didnt get to leave with everyone else becuz i had a stupid thing to fulfill under a work contract and it kept me here, home till a few hours ago. my sister is drivin me to the airport in a little while and i should get intown tomorrow morning. psycho- i mean heather- said that evry band that went on today was great. i believe her and evryone else hung out at the same stages for today but tomorrow people are splitting up becuz different people want to see diffrent groups. today they saw, that i know about, blonde redhead and LCD Sound and B Harper. well a few pals went over to watch G Love and his Sauce but thats a given. heather said that she couldnt say who put on the best show today becuz it was all great, but that it was hotter than a mofo and that she and wade and nick, karin, ed, kelly, and co. all got wasted in the tent really early so that by early afternoon they all had migrains and had to chug down h20 at an alarming rate. serves them bitches right! altho i pretty much plan on doin the same fuckin thing as soon as i get off the plane in the morn, so what am i talking about. i cant stand that pearl jam is large and in chrge for the first time in years. its gonna be sick as hell. i wonder if psycho will try to hump ed's leg or not before its over. that woudl be cool. it is gonna be cool tho, they put on one hell of a live show. ill go do a lastminute chec k and make sure i have all my shit together and then im gonna call my sister and tell her to get her ass over here now. now. now. i just want to get there and catch up on the drinkin. i'll prob. write about my 2 days there once i'm back. it would be cool if anyone else that went makes a post about their good times too. sounds like its a full house over there so i know there s a lot of people there. well, off i go.

 
 
   
 

Lollapalooza

I really really want to got to Lollapalooza in August. A whole bunch of my favorite bands are going to be there.

Regina Spektor, Ben Harper, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modest Mouse, The Roots, Pearl Jam, G. Love, Pete Yorn, TV on the Radio, My Morning Jacket, Motion City Sountrack, and so many more killer bands I have wanted to see for like forever.

Let's see, where can I get the money to travel to Chicago for a week? Well, I have the money, but that is way too much to spend.

Plus, the whole thing is a couple of weeks before school starts up and I think that the time would best for getting ready. Also I probably couldn't take a week off work.

 

Does anybody wanna buy me tickets and shit?  That would be awesome :)

 

Thanks,

Mark

 
 
 

   
One big beautiful show....
Ok so Lollapalooza.....was awesome. It was also very exhausting. The event itself is just something you have to see with your own eyes. It was just amazing to be one of 70,000 people in the middle of beautiful Grant park in my lovely hometown of Chicago and have some of the most talented musical artists all there in one place to entertain us. I can't even name every one that I was able to see because we pretty much tried to see as many bands as humanly possible. Navigating the crowds was rough but for the most part manageable...Grant Park was made for this kind of thing....lots of walkways. Overall the whole thing just had a good feeling surrounding it....music makes people happy and everyone was....of course beer might have also had something to do with it. The highlight of my Friday night was of course the Death Cab for Cutie show.....it was everything I expected and more....they played a good mix of their old and new stuff. I left that show and nothing could've brought me down that night. The next day my cousin Stef joined me and my friend Argee and we spent most of our time camped out on a hill....we learned our lesson from walking back and forth on Friday...too hot! The crowd was bigger on Saturday and the food lines were ridiculous but the shows were good once again. It was a nice night. Sunday was a killer for me cause I think my tiredness and dehydration set in all at once. I felt like crap by 3pm...but I hung in there and tried to enjoy the day. I was really impressed by both the Broken Social Scene and Matisyahu. We left half way in the middle of the Red hot Chili Peppers cause I was pretty much ready to die. That night I had the worst headache of my life and begged my roommate to take me to the hospital....she just made me drink water and Im happy to say im still alive. So I can't do justice to Lollapalooza in a blog....I just can't...you have to experience it for yourself. I am definitely going next year....
 
 
   
 

Music & Concerts
Ugh, I think I'm beginning my old bad habit again. And I'm not posting what it is because I don't feel like being judged or whatever. (And no, it's not cutting myself, that's plain stupid.)
So the Smashing Pumpkins are working on a new CD. I'm a little... fuck I forgot the word... oh! I'm a little skeptical because most new CD's and bands are becoming mainstream now, even some I used to like (ahem: Avenged Sevenfold, Taking Back Sunday, Red Hot Chili Peppers, System Of A Down, Korn, Linkin Park). But I'm happy the Pumpkins are finally back together, hopefully the new CD sounds like their old stuff.
Okay, 3 concert venues I need to get a car for. One is including Lollapalooza. Damn, I need to get a job again.
