Yes it is unreal. especially for me, because all I'll be able to do is dream about being there.

Not going. Have no real interest in any of those bands other then The Wrens.

Nothing there is really my cup of tea.

I have my son friday night-we're going to Oak Park with my mom to the big Harry Potter party where most of downtown Oak Park becomes Diagon Alley and such- it'll be awesome.

The rest of the weekend I'll be home reading the new Harry Potter book that comes out saturday.

Wish I were going. Unfortunately, couldn't afford a week's worth of vacation to do both Intonation and Lollapalooza. Have a blast, Dave!!

Simon March · **Posted:** Mon Jul 11, 2005 11:57 am

I'm going. I've got the 2 day pass. Day 1 is going to el destroy-o. Day 2 ain't far behind either though. Should be a ricockulously awesome weekend.

Yeah, well guess I'm just getting too mainstream & boring cause except for Wrens and The M's(forgot they were playing) I've never gotten into the other bands that are playing.

I've never seen a better festival lineup than this. I'm going to try to go for most of it, but I'm not sure I can handle 90+ degree heat for several hours on both saturday and sunday.

i think it's an amazing lineup. i wish i was in chicago.

I hear that! I do horrible in the heat, so I'm scared about this coming weekend and next! SPF 50!

I'd attend if only to see The Go! Team.

i'll be there. (dave: we need to figure out how we're not going to miss each other this weekend.) i want to see pelican, but i don't want to go so early. i'll definitely be there for a.c. newman, though. and then i'm told that i should see broken social scene because the show when i saw them was apparently a fluke off-night. go! team is on my list of must-sees too.

the hold steady is awesome and they're my highlight for sunday. les savy fav's also always good live, but i'll probably bail early to get to old 97s uptown that night. it should be a good time.

did anyone other than spence in-town buy advance tix? I don't need to worry about getting there early, do I?

yeah, i got them a few weeks ago. i don't think you need to worry about it. they made a pretty big deal about advance tickets being limited and having them available at the gates.

I'm wondering if it's cool to come and go or if once you're there you're locked into staying

I gotta work out the schedule with my friend I'm attending with. I don't see us getting there Saturday to late afternoon and Sunday is sorta up in the air.
We'll figure it out as the week goes on though.

yeah, my +1 has to work saturday afternoon, so i want to see if i can get in without her before then. we should be there most of sunday, though.

I'd love to go, but money is tight. Oh yeah, I'm playing the 16th out of town anyways.

Natural Mike · **Posted:** Mon Jul 11, 2005 10:11 pm

I thought about going to the Sunday show, but there's a 4 hour gap between the two acts that I want to see.

DMB04 · **Posted:** Fri Jul 15, 2005 1:00 pm

When's everyone going to this? I think my friend I was going with can't go now, which means I may be flying solo. Damn...

np: People Under-OST

I'm going from AC Newman to Tortoise tomorrow, and then from The Wrens through the Decembrists on Sunday
