Yep, a fun time. Weather pretty much extraordinary and I could venture to say that Friday was the coldest Lollapalooza Chicago day ever.
I woulda liked a bit more of a challenging health screening as any counterfeit vaxx paper would probably work. And I woulda liked some more mask wearing, at least in the thick of the sets.
Foos an obvious highlight, even with needing to do Southwest checkin precisely in middle of set. (B19.... acceptable) Also: Orville Peck, Black Pumas, Jawny, Black Pistol Fire, Tai Verdes, Miley C.
No Perry sightings for me but Kind Orchestra got added into a club show somewhere.
was a fun time. really only saw the foos, the modest mouse, and parts of brittany howard, front bottoms, band of horses, ottto. basically, the plan was to see foos and mouses, and we kept to that plan. saw a full brittany howard set at thalia hall on saturday night/sunday morning, and that was pretty great. was a masked event. we mostly were able to keep a distance from others. used a lot of hand sanitizer. lolla logistics were really well done. easy in and out, plentiful bathroom facilities, food vendors, water, merch. air travel was pretty easy. ubers were expensive. chicago weather was perfect. Fun record stores in Wicker Park yesterday. Got to hang with a friend I hadn't seen in a couple of years, and that was a good reconnect.
I am fully vaxxed, but got tested before the trip, and I will likely test again later this week before re-engaging with society.
