This is basically the worst week in the world for concerts. And by worst, I mean full of too many choices. I'll be at the Brandi Carlile show at SPACE on Wednesday, and at DeVotchKa at Lincoln Hall on Saturday. The rest of the week is up in the air. I'll probably be sobbing under my desk rather than making any real decisions.

For being a person who hates a) large crowds, b) large drunk crowds, c) heat, d) the outdoors, and e) being outdoors in the oppressive summer heat with large crowds of drunk people, a big festival like Lollapalooza has all of the makings of a nightmare.

I am having a love/hate relationship with this year's Lollapalooza schedule. It's not like last year, where I was able to fill every inch of my day with bands. But maybe that's a good thing -- more time for aimlessly wandering from stage to stage, more opportunities to discover something new. Here's where you're most likely to find me this year:

So, there's this little festival called Lollapalooza rolling into Grant Park this weekend. Maybe you've heard of it? I'll be there all weekend, Tweeting and taking bad photos bitching about the heat and the crowds, and hoping my phone doesn't run out of battery.

In case you took an internet hiatus overnight, here's some "news" for you: Lollapalooza's lineup for the 2010 festival has been released in full, including all the letters and &s and *'s, because god forbid they write out Fuck Buttons on their website.
