Lollapalooza
Where: Grant Park, Chicago
With: Alejandra
My take
I don't think Alejandra had much interest in going to this festival (or hadn't before) but it had been my first big bang Chicago event, so I wanted to experience it with her. I remember we bought a few extra tickets and I think I sold them for a very small profit. The day was fun, but the only act I remember was Ellie Golding's closer. She did amazing and it was fun to dance with Alejandra. We got there in plenty of time and were pretty close to the front, though we were all smashed in for like an hour before the concert started and it was so hot. So they started throwing water bottles into the crowd, I reached up and grabbed one of the first and gave it to Alejandra but I remember her laughing and say I'd snagged it from a group of kids behind us.
