Blogapalooza: Lolla is Red Hot

08.07.2006:Another perfect day and night of shows made made Lollapalooza the place to be this summer.\n \nMatisyahu put on a spellbounding performance that may have set the guiness record for crowd surfing, the Chili Peppers came close to Lolla Founder Perry Ferrell's billing as the best rock band in the country and Ben Kweller and Wilco rocked.\n \nRob is incredible at getting the most out of your press pass. Utilizing the golf carts to take us from show to show, sneaking into the artist tent, and going backstage to meet Jared Leto, Jeff Tweedy, Ferrell, Umphrey's McGee and Lyrics Born. Sneaking into the front of the stage for amazing pictures at Gnarls Barkley, Flaming Lips, and Kanye was brilliant, even though we got hassled to no end.\n \nI want to take my time with the last day and look at the pictures so I can give you a full vision of the awesome three days of music. I'm just sad it's over.\n \nCheck back in the next couple days for dozens of close-up pics of the bands, backstage stories, and in depth reviews of best shows, funniest stories, and more.
