I think I still have my copy of the final issue of the Washington Star (1981), and I'm pretty sure there's a MPP ad in it. If I can find it I'll scan and post the ad, just for shits and giggles.

Rock and Roll Hotel:
Telepathe with Lemonade - June 25

Retribution Gospel Choir opening for the Meat Puppets show on June 13 also. 

930 Club:

Grizzly Bear
June 1

The Hold Steady
June 7

So far for Lollapalooza:


Although the full line-up for this year's festival won't be announced until April 21, all of the headliners – Beastie Boys, Jane's Addiction, Depeche Mode, Tool, Kings of Leon and the Killers - have been confirmed by Billboard's sources.  Fleet Foxes, Andrew Bird, Lou Reed, Neko Case, the Decemberists, and Peter, Bjorn and John are among the more than 100 additional acts that will appear at the festival.

I wish it wasn't so far away. Lou Reed, Andrew Bird, The Decemberists, and Fleet Foxes all in one show, that is my type of line-up.

Has anyone else heard anything about this?

Eddie Vedder
Lyric Opera House
Jun 15

Except you'd probably have to go all three days to catch all of those bands. So it's all in three shows.

It's really not that far away.  You can fly direct from National Airport, it's a short flight and airfare is super cheap these days…probably cheaper than tix to see Eddie Vedder ;)

Actually tickets are $200, which is not cheap. Wait a month or so and that will likely change. Deals will continue to pop up. But don't forget the hotel costs. Not a cheap trip when you factor in tickets. But, I'm proud to say I am finally going, regardless of the costs. And, unlike Bonnaroo or Coachella, this is in the middle of an amazing city, lots to do, see and eat, and very comfortable hotels to sleep and shower in.

(yes, i know there are hotels at coachella, but a lot of people do camp…)

I have Coachella camping horror stories.


I think I've posted them here before, though.



Chicago in august is still gross and muggy.
