• Cocaine was ruled a factor in Billy Mays' death. ... It's too easy. I'll let it go.
• Lollapalooza Day 1:
- The festival has a contract with the city of Chicago for another 10 years.
- Three-day passes and single-day passes for Friday were sold out.
- Picture those plastic, snappy bracelets you get at events that have to be cut off after they're closed. When they're going to be too long, remember to fold the excess over a few times before snapping. I guess festivals don't like a lot of scissors sitting around.
- Rain. Umbrellas are really obnoxious in large groups. Apologies for my contribution to this ...
- Disappointed in Ben Folds' set. Too much mediocre new stuff. Not enough personality.
- Someone should open a stand to sell cheap, comfortable shoes. I saw a pair of flip-flops abandoned after getting stuck in the mud, a few way-cooler-than-you kids who were limping along in their sexy heels, and a several people who had given up on their shoes completely. I bet there would be a market for it even without the rain.
- I can't speak for the other flavors (yet), but Stretch Island Fruit Co.'s orchard cherry Original Fruit Leathers are great.
- (Something I can thank theater experience for:) If you're trying to direct someone to you in a crowd and you say you're "to the left of the stage," you're standing to the left of the stage as you're looking at it from the crowd. If you're "stage left," however, you're to the right of the stage as you're looking at it from the crowd (to the performers' left when they're onstage). Save everyone the confusion. How do you give directions?
