Photos: Lollapalooza 2006 [Grant Park, Chicago, IL; 4-6 August, 2006]
Last weekend, people gathered as Chicago's Grant Park hosted three days of blood, sweat and tears known to the masses as Lollapalooza 2006. Over 130 artists hit the festival's eight stages (nearly twice as many as last year on both counts), and considering the hike it took to get from one side of the park to the other, chances are you didn't get to see all of them. That's where we come in! Our piecemeal crew of ragtag Pitchforkers spent the weekend soaking up the rock, hitching rides on golf carts, and screwing off in the photo pit. While you'll have to hold off until tomorrow for Pitchfork's full coverage of the event, you can sneak a peek at some of the highlights below:
