I hate Lollapalooza so much. I hate the ugly-ass CTA ads I have to look at for months before the actual festival, and I hate how the organizers have gone out of their way over the years to make it more and more difficult and physically demanding and slightly insulting for members of the press who are trying to do their jobs and cover the cursed thing (not to mention the poor bastards who actually paid money to be there). Aside from a few memorable headlining sets (Daft Punk, Lady Gaga, and, surprisingly enough considering my usual opinion of them, Pearl Jam) nearly every moment I’ve been there has been terrible. (OK, actually the couple of times I’ve been smuggled into the uber-VIP cabanas were pretty great, but that’s almost completely a matter of the fantastic, veg-friendly catering.)
Fuck Lollapalooza!
