Lollapalooza 2011

Another great year at Lollapalooza! On Friday we started at Foster the People, but thought we were at the stage for Smith Westerns, oops. I think we made it over to the other side and saw part of  The Kills. Back to Perry's for Skrillex and Afrojack. Then caught all the closing acts, Muse, Girl Talk, and Coldplay.

Saturday I didn't attend because my mom fell and broke her back. But here's are the highlights of what I missed, including Eminem.
 

Sunday was one of my favorite days of the whole year! We met up with some friends at The Cars. Then we headed down to the other side and on our way to Flogging Molly it started to rain. Not just rain, it poured. And it was amazing. We hung out for some of Cage the Elephant but then went back over to Perry's, which was CRAZY. It was even muddy INSIDE the tent.


We stayed at Perry's for a while and caught the sets of Busy P and Modeselektor before we headed over to Deadmau5 for a rave in the rain! It was perfectly times that he came on just as it started pouring for the second time that day. 

The rain maid the bathroom lines super long that day. But there was tons of good music and fun people. We did catch the end of the Foo Fighters on our way out, but it was too much of mud pit and we couldn't get to them.

My mom fell out of a tree!

Well, she was up in a ladder in the tree but she keeps telling people that she fell out of the tree. What a nightmare. We got SO LUCKY it wasn't worse, but she did end up quite injured. I skipped Lollapalooza of course because she fell just before I was heading out for the day. We spent the day at the ER instead. The final diagnosis is compression fractures in two vertebrae, a broken hand, 4 stitches and cuts and bruises all over her body. So I'm hoping for a healthy recovery but realistically know it will be about six to eight weeks before she is back to normal and able to do most things for herself. So please send some good ju ju her way!
