Here we go again!

| Friday at Lollapalooza |
This year reiterated the fact that I am a music festival kind of person. After staying out much to late on Thursday night, I did all of Friday completely sober. Like, ACL pre-21 style. And had just as much fun as I would have otherwise. I just love it all.

Jennie!

Like last year, I did most of the fest solo. Unlike last year, I met up with a few friends sporadically. Jennie and Nate were 3-day virgins, and I had a blast meeting up with them on Friday and Sunday. They were Lolla champs, going strong from noon to 11pm all 3 days.

| San Fermin |
The first band I saw on Friday. The guy's voice reminded me of The National.
 |
| Temples |
I'd been anticipating these guys. Very 1960s sounding.
 |
| One of my favorite spots |
This little hill on the southeast side of Grant Park is where I spent most of the festival.
 |
| Kodaline |
 |
| The crowds and view from Bombay Bicycle Club |
That skyline is one of the biggest differences between Lollas and ACL.
 |
| Hozier |
Not pictured: Portugal the Man.

| Realizing how much older I feel this year |
Not in the dance pit. Instead I'm standing by the flowers.

| Sander Klinenberg |

| Arctic Monkeys from WAY far away |
Yep, once the headliners started on Friday I peaced out. My bike was parked immediately outside the festival gates, giving me a quick little 5 miler to make it home by 9pm.
