LollapalOOOza '07


I am still trying to wrap my head around all the events that surrounded working this year at Lollapalooza. I decided to help out my old boss and return this summer for another year of Lolla madness. The festival expanded from a two-day weekend to a three-day festival featuring artists; Modest Mouse, Iggy & the Stooges, Interpol, My Morning Jacket, Ben Harper, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Snow Patrol, Amy Winehouse, The Roots, Daft Punk.. and of course, Pearl Jam. The highlight of the weekend (pictures to come later on it) had to be being in the photo pit for the Pearl Jam show. Eddy ended the show with a duet with Ben Harper. Dennis Rodman and Lance Armstrong crashed the stage and it became an all-out love fest. Other highlights would have to be hanging out with Bill (the winner from the first Apprentice) as he interviewed Silver Sun Pickups in the Lolla Lounge, driving golf carts while ABC News was interviewing LCD Soundsystem (look for me on TV) hanging out with MTV as they interviewed The Roots backstage, and Modest Mouse, and of course the after party which was held in the artist lounge directly behind the main stage. Can't wait for next year!
