I was finally able to go again. I loved it. So much better in Grant Park than when it made the come back in 2004 at Tweeter Center.

I went on Sunday. I much prefer the Pitchfork Music Festival attendance of 50 or 60,000 people to the Lolla 200,000.

It takes far too long to get to different stages. Stages are too close together, so performances are interrupted by others in the area, and there are just way too many people for it to be enjoyable.

I don't know the only time I had ay problem with bands bleeding into one another was at the end of Sunday. I was at NIN and everytime Trent went quit to talk to the audience and share where he was in his life and the backstory to songs we heard freaking kanye west blasting through. Girl Talk was good. Mark Ronson was phenominal. both shows of Perry Ferral and Slash were good, althougvh thye one at kidsapalooza didn't have any technical difficulties so it was automatically better. Flogginf Molly was great, bloc party was good. I had no problems seeing any body.
