Lollapalooza: The Friends & The Food

(This post apparently unofficially sponsored by Bud Light.)

I kept making Sarah let me take outfit pictures of her all weekend. In this one she was like our own little fashionable Dora the Explorer, backpack and all!

We may have played in a fountain... on multiple occasions...

My dad and I... rocking his favorite little fedora!

Andouille Sausage, Fingerling Potatoes, and something else I forget on a really fancy bun.

Some classy drink mixing going on.

The Lobster Corndog. YUM.

The only problem with this is that for about a week after Lolla I was constantly craving the fanciest junk food that you can't actually find anywhere.

Uh, yeah, let's just say I was going for comfort and staying cool all weekend... not so much the best outfit I've ever worn. Haha.

Lollapalooza: The Music

Hello from Destin! I just wanted to do a quick post with some Lollapalooza pictures. Another to come soon. For now, this one will focus around the music. I didn't manage to get pictures of every band we saw, just because I was trying to enjoy the shows without getting too carried away with picture taking. Here are a few from what I did get.

Two Door Cinema Club, Day 1



Coldplay, Headliner Day 1

The city made such an awesome backdrop for the stage!

Eminem from the back, Headliner Day 2

I just could not get over how many people were there. Saturday was kind of a bust, but a few in our group really wanted to see Eminem so we walked over around 6 so they could work their way closer to the stage. My dad and I watched for a while and wandered by both Pretty Lights and Beirut before the night was over.

The Cars, Day 3

Cold War Kids, MY Headliner for Day 3

My favorite part of the whole weekend... even with all the rain and mud. We spent the entirety of two other sets working our way up to the front row for this. Totally jealous that the next day a family friend was sitting right next to all the band members on a flight to LA.

Chicago Brunching

Three of my good friends were up in Chicago last weekend for Lollapalooza, but we didn't walk over to Grant Park until 3 or so most days which left plenty of time for experiencing some of South Loop's finest brunch locations... or at least our favorites. This was probably the first time in quite a while I had made any real attempt at getting dressed/dolled up with moving and as hot as it had been, so I made a point of getting some pictures.

(RIP... these little guys didn't survive the weekend, and they didn't even get worn to the actual festival!)

Brunch was at Eleven City Diner, a particular favorite of ours. I alone have been there a handful of times and somehow had never discovered how amazing their pancakes are!!! I definitely stole a few bites from Katelyn.
