Brief Lolla Recap
The guitar dudes spent some awesome time this year out at Lollapalooza in good old Chicago. As puzzled as we were at the lack of real guitar heroics, the lineup nevertheless impressed good music citizens like ourselves.
The one truely transcendent moment came not from guitar bustin heroics, but from Girl Talk, whose packed stage errupted in a predictable orgy of party. Here’s what I mean
What this video doesn’t show is that even though given one of the larger stages the entire area around Girl Talk’s stage was full of sweaty, grinding people, making it the most packed stage of the night. So overcrowded was the entire area it was disrupting, albeit briefly, the mechanics of Lolla’s organizations. Standing somewhat in the middle of all the fracas, the guitar dudes saw three ice trolleys desperately trying to make their way through the crowd to some unknown location. The crowd pounces on the trucks and chaos ensues. Hoards of people are grabbing packets of ice, throwing chunks of ice at the stage and the audience, boys and girls jump on top of the trucks and start dancing. Meanwhile the poor ice truck workers still are trying to make their way through the crowd, even with people stealing their ice and dancing on their trucks. Somehow this geek with a laptop spawned the most rock ‘n roll moment of the night.
