So the Troubadour and I are getting to know each other quite well. I’ve been twice this week already- and I’ll be heading back tonight. Third time’s always a charm, and there’s talk of getting me my own VIP parking space. But mostly, I head there for the consistently great music. Last night’s poison of
“Press! If you DO NOT want to get HURT- get the hell out- because I’m telling you this gate will come down, and you will!” The head security guy pleaded with all of us yesterday before Edward Sharpe stormed the stage. Now I’ve been apprehensive before- I’ve been in moshpits, I’ve seen a friend get

Lollapalooza From The Front Lines, Day Three- Third Time’s A Charm! Intrepid reporter Lauren Novik, ready to rock. So Lollapalooza is officially over, and day three was most definitely third time’s a charm status!
