Review of my day at Lollapalooza: April Smith, Hockey, Manchester Orchestra, Gringo Star, The Knux, The Gaslight Anthem, Bon Iver, Ben Folds, Fleet Foxes, The Decemberists, Andrew Bird, and Kings of Leon.

After three+ years of living in Chicago, and constantly avoiding Lollapalooza, I've finally caved in and will be checking out Friday's shows this year. Check out my Lolla!lineup, and see how well I stick to it when I report back.
