I buckled and bought a 90 dollar one day pass for Saturday Lollapalooza. It was my first music festival and I was surprised at the endurance it took for the all day experience. Here are my top 5 moments:
1. Getting to hear Symphonies by Dan Black, he was a dancing fiend! His limbs are so long it was like watching a puppet, an eccentric puppet with face paint, white jeans and a great British accent.
2. Seeing tears in the eyes of lead singer Thomas Mars of Phoenix as they preformed their hit album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. He went down to touch the hands of the crowd and had to be escorted along by event staff. They were so happy to be at Lolla, and it was refreshing and endearing to see it.
3. Watching Spoon sing "I summon you" with my boyfriend Nick. While we are at college he's 400 miles away and the lyrics give words to the experience. And it just so happens to be his favorite band.
4. Watching some bandanna wearing tanned Lolla goer pee for literally 5 minutes straight while he made eye contact with my friend and gave her the thumbs up.
5. Seeing my boyfriend's Dad get into the DJ stage Perry's while hes surrounded by all the pumped moshers.
