congrats on the job. Did you buy your pitchfork tickets yet? I just got mine delivered in the mail.

d_plus_avid_w May 4 2006, 16:20:19 UTC

Nope, I just bought the lollapalooza so far. I'm going to buy the pitchfork ticket when I get my first paycheck. Hopefully they don't run out by then.

That's awesome. Good luck.

d_plus_avid_w May 5 2006, 00:22:01 UTC

Thanks. This means I'll be able to afford my own groceries next semester instead of secretly stealing all of yours (which was my initial plan).

I just looked at the Lollapalooza website, and there are even more bands there that I want to see than I thought. The Frames, The Shins, Of Montreal... in addition to all the others, of course. Hooooly crap I want to go. Have you guys made hotel arrangements yet?

d_plus_avid_w May 4 2006, 18:09:20 UTC

As far as I know, there won't be "hotel arrangements" exactly - it's either going to be the Altima Inn (Alex's car) or a campground, maybe? Apparently Chicago hotels are pretty expensive. We might be able to figure something out, though.

If you don't feel like sleeping in a car or on the ground, hostels are the way to go. Google them for the Chicago area, theres 3 that seem decent.
And where the hell is Borders? Barnes & Noble for life.

The Borders I'm working at is in the Palm Beach Mall.

I actually like Borders more than Barnes and Noble, especially as a place to work. It's more laid-back. Also the music section is much better.

That hostel idea is a good one, I'm going to check it out.

I get free coffee, but I don't know if I'm allowed to give away my free coffee to friends instead of them paying for it.

They've got cameras all over the cafe.
