Lollapalooza 2010

Soooo, Lollapalooza is starting to make some really nice changes.

First of all, the space. They expanded the fest grounds across Columbus (adding 4 city blocks of space) and moved some of the small stages over there. It definitely, definitely opened things up and made the entire weekend much more comfortable. Everyone was gushing over the new grounds.

Secondly the water. They made a big effort this year to conserve bottles - so there was no more $3 smart water or wedging your water bottle into the crappy fountains. You could buy a little cardboard water bottle thing (or bring your own bottle) and get it filled for free at all these Event Water stations. We loved it.

And most importantly, the shows..

mart anthony: well, it's all about driving sales activity to the itunes store, but i really don't get why they haven't thought to lift playcounts from the library or hook it up to last.fm.

nathan deutmeyer: cornell taught me procrastination too. i still haven't graduated from there.

derek brooks: nathan: if there's 1 thing cornell taught me, it's procrastination comps: yea, i expedited... see my comment above with all the costs... i think we posted at the same time so you missed it.

mike compton: did you do expedited? i just got mine today, 20 days from application to receipt of the passport, non-expedited. not too bad i guess. just know your birth certificate doesn't come back with ... (more)

eric leeper: gotcha. i like that idea too. i think apple will be improving it over time. but they should have put in more features like that and others off the bat.

derek brooks: yea but i want it to be automatic based on my listening habits... like last.fm ;)
