Tomorrow morning my daughter and I are headed out for our annual summer adventure: Lollapalooza in Chicago (which starts on Friday). Common sense tells you that three days spent staggering back and forth between various band performances in 80+ degree weather with many thousands of other sweaty individuals would not be the time to cake on the makeup. But nobody goes to Lollapalooza to make sense. Last year I even saw girls picking their way through the Grant Park gravel in high heels. I will try to take some pictures and post 'em over the next few days. My bet for worst makeup job goes to Jane's Addiction frontman (and Lollapalooza founder/bazillionaire) Perry Farrell--with whom I am still annoyed for replacing the headlining Beastie Boys (get well soon, MCA) with the hastily-chosen and far less awesome YeahYeahYeahs. He didn't even TRY with that one. Also he should leave the sparkly scarf at home this year.

I can't believe the girlies and I are missing you agin this year. Cheers from Vermont,

Hope you have oodles of fun, and revel in the fact that you live in the part of the world where August in still considered a part of summer and NOT a time to return to school (in 115 degree heat, no less.) Can you tell I'm a tad envious?
Oh, and I know your make-up will just be perfect in the Chicago swelter.
