i'm tentative on this. i skipped lolla last year and just went to the lolla after party shows at the metro both nights.

Are you going? I know you've gone in the past. Cool beans! We have reservations at the Congress Plaza Hotel (apparently it's closest to Grant Park). If there's a better place to stay, let me know. Yeah!!

Yes, I missed last year due to a wedding but am determined to go this year. Planning on buying my ticket this weekend. Southwest has great deals.

y'all might be sorry if you make plans to go elsewhere 8/4-5

I'd wait & see…there is NO chance of Lolla selling out before you make that decision

I appreciate everything you do, Seth. However, for me, its just not possible to top seeing Pearl Jam and getting out to Chicago the week after I take the bar.

seth, i'm with you, i don't want to make a choice yet - looks like i'm returning from vacation late on the 2nd, i don't relish the thought of getting on a plane to chi-town early the next morning. while tickets won't sell out, flights and hotels are filling up and personally, i need to make arrangements with work.

all that to say: could you give us a hint as to when the VFest line-up will be released? before the end of the month? alternately, could you leak a few more names?

i'm sure the line-up will be great and i'd rather remain local, buuuuut…

Seth, for me, it's more than just Lolla. I'm viewing it as a vacation and chance to get out of town. The V-fest is looking impressive, for sure, but I really want to go to Chicago. Next year, if you schedule it (V) a different weekend, I'll be there.

im with kurosawa on this one. not that dc isnt a vacation from nyc, but i can stay with my cousin who lives across the street, see family and have a mini-vacation which i really need. v-fest does look impressive tho, and it was nice to see it not being held on the jewish new year.

Talking about drawing the short straw, Interpol is a great band but to have to compete in a festival headlining role with Muse?! Poor bastards are going to be slaughtered, it's not going to be pretty. But that Cafe Tacuba Metro show just shot to the top of my to do list because I'm bailin on Sunday for Pimlico.

actually, lolla looks to be much more manageable than coachella was. at one point in indio, i had five bands that i would have wanted to check out playing at the same time!

my conflicts, which are all manageable IMO:
daft punk vs interpol (winner: DP)
the rapture vs. SSPU (winner: rap)
STS9 vs. cold war kids (winner: CWK)
PBJ vs. Yo La Tengo vs. !!! clusterf*ck (winner: should be !!!, but i've seen them a lot recently so TBD)

looks like walking distance between stages was shorter at coachella than it will be in lolla, based on last year's site map.
