Fine. I got my stinkin' Lollapalooza ticket. After service charges and whatnot, one damn ticket cost $101.00...I'm kicking myself for sleeping on the $35 presales. 
So far I'm hearing Beck, The Pixies, Liz Phair and Weezer are scheduled to play, along with Kings of Leon and a few other poppy-emo-alternamall kinda bands. I'd slap down a hunnerd bucks to see Beck and The Pixies, what the hell. There's supposed to be a press conference this morning giving the full rundown for the show....I'll post the list when I see it.  | |

weezer announced it on their web site, and i've been hearing beck's name connected to this year's lollapalooza from the get-go. liz phair lives in chicago, so it wouldn't be a terrible shock if she played (or billy corgan, for that matter - he has something new coming out soon...how about wilco?). haven't seen any confirmation about the pixies, but it wouldn't be a shocker, either. they played three sold out nights here in chicago last winter...or was it five sold out nights? i forget. anyway. it was a big to-do. i'm not sure if i have a wish list...it just gives me something cool to look forward to this summer. | |

What kinda seats did you get, lawn or pavillion? You going with anybody? I'm actually thinking of making the trip. Too many artists I dig in one place to miss it. | |

i think it may be general admission. the way it seems to be working is that as tickets start to sell out, the prices go up on remaining tix. weird. | |
