SUNDAY NIGHT:

It's 10PM:

Still 90 degrees with like 90% humidity. Brutal! Festival just ended and everyone is spent. Sitting outside of Debonair looking across the street @ The Double Door (awesome live music venue for those not familiar) marquee. Peter Bjorn & John about to do an after set over there. We have a killer closing party planned with the Chicago premiere of Weird Science (Steve Aoki & Blake Miller of Moving Units), the Dark Wave Disco DJ's, Supermodel: Agyness Dean, and MisShape & NYC it kid: Jacksonn Pollis, but with weather, the show across the street, and everyone exhausted, I'm hopping anyone is showing up.

12AM:

We've underestimated our crowd. Everyone has come out for one final bender. Place is insane! People crowdsurfing to Steve and Blake throwing down Justice's D.A.N.C.E. and spraying Colt 45 in the air. We are all in the booth next to them with Jacksonn, Chris Holmes, Danny Masterson, Agyness, etc. What a perfect end to a perfect weekend. It gets more rediculous. At like 1:15 in comes R. Kelley (bodyguards and entourage in tow). Sits in the booth in front by the window and jams out to Weird Science for the last hour. He even got up on the table swinging a towel around for the last 3 tracks they played (all his BTW).

2AM:

Far from over. For the 4th night in a row, everyone heads downstairs for another illegal afterparty. This place is gonna loose their licquor license if they keep this up. By 6, there are like 30 people left, I am palying "Common People" and Steve Aoki is so shitfaced he's laying on the floor on his back spinning himself around with his feet. I'm not that far away.

It's 7 AM and this super cute girl from Barney's is texting me, calling it a night...............

ALL THE GORY DETAILS AND PICTURES COMMING TOMORROW!!!!

THINK R KELLY

Okay, for some of us, festivals like Lollapalooza is more than just running from stage to stage and driving from afterparty to afterparty. It's about the adventures. Case in point: this photo highlight reel with a Chi-town adventure looking for the band, Illinois. This adventure took us from Sonotheque to a Comfort Inn at a unknown location with a really cool manager to another comfort Inn with a really bitchy manager...all this during a lighting storm and rain galore.
