Lollapalooza 2006

The official announcement for Lollapalooza 2006 came out today. This year the event will take place over 3 days in August (8/4 - 8/6) at Chicago’s Grant Park. Looking at the list of bands that’ll be there, I’m very tempted. The tickets are $130 for 130 bands. Not bad at all. My buddy Dan in Chicago has already offered his couch.
