Contest: Win Tickets to Lollapalooza!

Lolla

We wouldn’t dare get carried away with ourselves around here but HAVE YOU SEEN THE LINEUP? Sweet heavens and holidays did they put together something wild. The Strokes. Soundgarden. Social Distortion. Spoon. Also, The Walkmen and Wavves. If for some crazy reason you’d like to attend, you may consider leaving a Lollapalooza-centric haiku in the comments. In fact, it restricted to those bands, positive negative vibes alike. We’ve got one pair. Start waxing poetic.

    to the music all-day-long
    I am ready, I am ready for the floor (G-A, G-A)

  26. Cort Kern says:

    This is a poem why I would love to be at Lollapolooza! Please give me free tickets lol.

    Even Goth smiles in this
    sinlessness of music kin; this
    warbling mix of hard
    core and techno playing their
    dizzying duel as preppie plaids
    dance in the dustbowl. God’s
    guarantee is there in the fuzzy
    bassline, the hammered down
    definition of haphazard
    community. The ground
    hardens, buckles up, bent
    to greet us, to keep us here in
    muddy walls and divets while
    punk rock looks for reasons
    to be angry and gravel blisters
    goo shoes. The graying grass
    tries for life. The dragonflies,
    seagulls, both are swarming
    off the great lake that
    they believe in as the airplanes
    crack the sky with slogans, new
    real estate. The light hot is
    white as a peeled lemon
    but blessed with the sour
    graying of clouds set down
    to rest on skyscrapers.
    We are kissed by stormy winds,

  27. Kristen says:

    Music and mayhem,
    Chicago’s finest weekend,
    Please honor me champ?

  28. Dannika S says:

    Lollapalooza,
    Sounds like a sweet popicile,
    Yet sweeter than that.

  29. Sean says:

    Stroke My Gaga, Dude
    Green Day, Phoenix…either or
    Cornell or Butler

  30. Juan M says:

    Hey Lady Gaga
    Where are you going now girl?
    Lollapalooza

  31. Calvin K says:

    Music in the air
    The Strokes shall enlighten me
    Chicago breeds love

  32. Sean Newman says:

    Need to get tickets
    Better late than never right?
    Lolla-pa-leeze-a??

  33. Kathryn B says:

    No plans this weekend…
    Want to blue line to Grant Park
    To Lolla it up.
