Since I last posted, the summer was good, I worked at a Fine Arts summer camp again, and thoroughly enjoyed it =).
I also went to Chicago for Lollapalooza which was also pretty enjoyable, the weather there was nice at night, when it wasn't scorching hot, and the shows were amazing. Kanye West, regardless of how self-absorbed he is, was also a must see and I'm glad I got to attend. Other highlights included The Octopus Project, who presented quite the performance with balloons and more for the crowd to play with not to mention a Theremin player. K'naan was all I hoped and dreamed for though the Lollapalooza staff cut his set short, which was upsetting. Does it offend you, yeah? disappointed me overall with a terrible reproduction of their music live. Radiohead put on a phenomenal show with the fireworks over Lake Michigan weekly on Friday nights, happening coincidentally during a climatic point of their performance. Lupe Fiasco was impressive, especially his platinum shoes you could see the shne of from across Grant Park. The Black Lips played pretty well but were a slight disappointment, same goes for CSS in my books. Battles was impressive live, with Ddiamonds being my favorite part of their performance.
Explosions in the Sky hands down put on the best show of the 3 days, and blew me away, And when they played The Only Moment We Were Alone, it was the most spectacular presentation of music I'd seen in my life.
