Yea that’s a shout out to my mayne R-Kelly for the not guilty verdict….Say what you want about him, but nothing’s hotter then a new R-Kelly jam…

But the main subject of this post is about Lollapalooza (which, by the way, I guess is in the MS Dictionary as it does not pull up on spell-check…funny enough) This year there is a whole host of after parties to attend after the festival has ended on Friday and Saturday.

For those of us interested in a lot of the bands at Lolla, these after parties look appealing. Broken Social Scene/ Lupe Fiasco scheduling conflict got you down? Go see Lupe at the festival, and catch BSS at the after show. Before you go buy your tickets let me point out a few cons. First of all, Lolla weekend is an expensive enough endeavor already, the cost of going to some of these after shows would require an increase in ones entertainment budget. But if you’re balling out of control, let me warn you that Lolla is a tiring three day event if you like to go out after the festival ends each day. It would take some serious music dedication to rock out all day and then go back at it at night. But to those brave souls I applaud. All tix go on sale the 6/21 at 10 am. Now if only Dierks Bentley had an after show…
