Lollapalooza 2009: Just Shoot Me Now…


…because
A) I can't afford it,
B) I can't take Harry and
C) I can't leave Harry in NY while I go.

Why can't Lollapalooza tour like it did way back when? Why can't it be in New York? ARGH.

August 7-9. It’ll be held at Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois. Thanks, Lolla-people. TOO FAR AWAY!

Normally I'd not give a crap, but this time the lineup is MY lineup. This year's Coachella Festival is not my kind of lineup. Even this year's Ultra Fest isn't enough to make me feel I'm missing out. Lollapalooza is just what I'd want to have here close by, and the reason is the following bands:

  • Tool
  • Jane's Addiction
  • The Beastie Boys

You also get The Killers, Depeche Mode and Lou Reed to name a few.

Add ΝIИ and I'd just have to find a way.

Jane's and Nine Inch Nails are touring, but the chances of getting tickets to Jones Beach are slim to NONE and It's NOT HAPPENING. I've been through this before, and I know I'm just not going to get to go. Pshh. I'd settle for the NIN show in Wantagh. Get me tickets.

    I know, can you believe how long ago that was?
    That's the last place I'd want it to be in NY, though. Downing Stadium probably crumbed afterwards.

    That was over 10 years ago, I just can't remember what year and I'm not going to dig through ticket stubs anytime soon… or even Google it now.

    p.s. I knew you were my reader from you know where ; )

    I think that was either '94 or '95.

    Ticket stubs? And I thought I was a pack rat!
