It’s that time of year in Chicago when people ask if you are going to Lollapalooza before asking how you are doing. In just a few days, I know my Facebook newsfeed will be inundated with check-ins at Lollapalooza, pictures of the festival and many status updates relating to the 3-day event. I would like to thank Lollapalooza for allowing my Facebook friends to share their custom schedules. In my opinion, that’s a major newsfeed no-no. It’s almost as bad as people that share what they are listening to on Spotify.

Let’s be honest we all know that most people use Lollapalooza as an excuse to be drunk for 3 days from morning until night. As documented by the tweets of these undoubtedly brilliant people.

Speaking of drunks, I would like to share the correspondence I had on Sunday night with someone that was supposed to buy my Lollapalooza 3-day wristbands. I listed them on Craigslist and obviously, everyone that responds to a Craigslist post is an intelligent and credible human being with the best of intentions. If you haven’t noticed, I am being extremely sarcastic today.

Anyway, I received an email from a man, let’s call him Felipe, that’s actually his name so we should refer to him as such, that was desperate to buy my wristbands. He convinced me to remove my post on Craigslist because he assured me that my wristbands were sold. A few hours after our email exchange, he called me to let me know he was driving into the city from the suburbs to pick up the wristbands. The series of events via texts that followed were very amusing.

Felipe never showed which is probably a good thing.
