Lollapalooza 2007: I have arrived

Hey everybody! I'm writing this from a laptop in the AT&T air conditioned tent. I made my way downtown this morning, checked in at the Hard Rock Hotel for an event later on tonight which I'll be covering, and hopped into a cab to the media entrance of Lollapalooza. In the media tent, I guzzled free water, picked out a couple of free SPIN t-shirts, and sat on an Adirondack chair in the shade and smoked a couple of cigarettes.

Now, I'm on my way to check out G. Love in the Kidzapalooza area, then Son Volt, and if I make it all the way back to the media tent by 2:00, I'll be interviewing Slightly Stoopid.

Later on this afternoon, I'll be taking in Peter Himmelman's Kidzapalooza show and interviewing him afterward. Up until I walked through the gate earlier, I was nearly certain that I'd arrive and they'd say "Who?" "What?" and start laughing, while turning me away. That did not happen.

We'll see how this little experiment turns out. I'm hoping to be able to post my interviews and set reviews as the day progresses, but I'm sure this free internet thing won't be as easy to access later, once more people have arrived.

Rock n roll!
