chicago: i'm gonna fuck there

well, it looks like Lollapalooza has done it again for the first time. this is such a psychotic line-up that it almost looks like my i-pod on shuffle has come to life.

i don't even know how to comprehend this many of my favorite people in one place. i have a terrifying feeling this concert is a ploy by Al-Qaeda to kill all of the hipsters. either that or it will self-destruct ala Woodstock, which i'd also like to see. this load of amazing will run from august 3-5 so try not to get AIDS before then.
