THINGS I LEARNED AT LOLLAPALOOZA

• 90 degree heat and massive crowds will not stop at least one girl from wearing Uggs.

• I can't tell the difference between high school and college kids.

• Lollapalooza must be secretly sponsored by American Apparel and Urban Outfitters.

• Hand sanitizer is fake-god's gift to festivals.

• Lobster is made for corn dogs.

• Lady Gaga should never dance to Metallica.

• A lot of people still smoke. Most of them are odd looking.

• Hipsters and Hippies both love to play with paint.

• "Electro-pop" has surpassed "Alternative" as the music of choice for high-schoolers.

• The DJ stage is the best place to see nearly naked women.

• Cut Copy says Oh, or ohhhh, or ooooooh in 73% of their songs.

• VIP is ridiculously awesome.

• Oliver Sim of The xx really loves to play the cymbal.

• I need to start a on-going post on The Skinny titled "This shit's gotta stop."

• White people still do not have the ability to dance.

• Black people don't like Lollapalooza.

• The accordion is making a comeback.

• Green Day still rocks ridiculously hard, and their showmanship is amazing.

• Guys love wearing high school basketball practice jerseys.

• Lady Gaga has large balls, as demonstrated by crowd surfing nearly naked during Semi-Precious Weapons.


More to come as memories start to surface again.


Lady Gaga and her DJ dancing to Metallica? No thanks.


Not the actual Lolla video, no one has posted one yet.

Pretty sure that guy licked her vagina. Jackpot.
