Lollapalooza?

[distance]

i'm going.  i don't care.
 for me it's an excuse to hit chicago up again.
 i got in on the $35 2-day passes so i have no regrets whatsoever.  as long as there's at least 2 bands per day that i want to see, i will view it as worth the $17.50 per day.

Even if the anticipated number of acts has dropped below 70 as first stated, at 60 bands, you're paying $.58/band. Shit, you aren't going to pay that anywhere. I know you won't see all 60 bands, but still. And we don't know why the Dandy's have dropped. Endless number of reasons.
 
 I just need to get airline tickets and I am set. Hotel is paid for, as I am sure prices will get jacked up for that weekend. If nothing else, my wife and I will have a nice weekend in Chicago.

I bought $35 tickets anticipating a certain native Chicago artist playing. As it stands, the lineup is great at $35, but I wouldn't pay $100 or whatever it costs now.

There you have it, the Dandy's are scared!    
 
 And yeah, it's a lot easier to justify when you paid $35 instead of the $85/$100/$115.
 
 Anyway. I'm pumped about the show and will make it a fabulous weekend. Anyone hear of any "after show" shows in the Chicago area?

i've been checking around about late-night shows. will post when i hear of any. i'm sure the city will be hopping that weekend.
 
 don't get me wrong...i'm still excited about the weekend in chi-town, and i'm glad i only paid $35 for tix. however, with ticket prices at $100+ now, i'm just hoping enough other people think it's worth it. otherwise, it'll end up getting cancelled like last year.

As long as he's alive in our hearts, Sonick, he's never really dead!!

Take it for whatever you feel it's worth, but this is a reply I got back from the Dandy's:
 
   

From: sean gothman:
 Our band was never in the line-up, the first we even heard about it
 is when fans were telling us that we were.  I would look into this
 shady Lollapalooza organization if I were you.

BJM confirms they signed a contract to play...my husband just got a response from anton this morning. maybe the dandy's are lying out their ass. it seems absurd that a group like capital sports and entertainment would risk their rep by putting unsigned bands in the big announcements of lolla lineups.
 
 anyway, how could the dandy's not have known except for fans telling them that they were on the lineup??  i mean, the press releases were everywhere and bloggers were touting the DW vs BJM showdown for the past couple of weeks since the announcement. oh, well...my husband's a fan but i won't really miss them.

[xneverwherex]

as to where the dandys will be.. well sadly not at lollapalooza.. which ticks me off as its my fav. band. so, according to a dandys site guess they'll be in france. it figures, theyre usually in europe before/after/during a new album.
 
 Hi lucky people we are!!
 The DW are on the program of the "vieilles charrues" festival in Britany, they
 are on the opening day Friday 22 of July!!!!!
 I had program to be there without knowing it I'll be there! Lucky girl!!

Will they be serving refreshing, frost brewed Coors Light at the show?

ben kweller just added to the lineup...

From the Dandy Warhols newsletter:
 
 Mr. Courtney was walking around one day, minding his own business, when up comes Mr. Perry Ferrell. Says Mr. Perry to Mr. Courtney,"Hey, Mr. Courtney, you should play at my show." To which Courtney replied, "What?" Then Mr. Perry repeated his plea, "Hey, Mr.Courtney, you should play at my show." To which Courtney replied, "What?" Courtney was about to go back to minding his own business when Mr. Perry scooped up a handful of pebbles and leapt to a nearby spinning wheel. Well, Mr. Perry spun and he spun! Whirrrr! Whirrr!! He spun for about ten minutes until he fashioned those pebbles into a solid gold hearing-aid. After handing the device to Courtney, Mr.
 Perry again repeated his plea. "Hey, Mr. Courtney, you should play at my show." This time, with the golden hearing-aid augmenting the plea,
 Courtney replied "Ohhhh. Okay."
