Considering I spent nearly three entire days without my beautiful baby girl, I thought it would be nice to collect some life lessons while at Lollapalooza. I’ll share these with her down the road, when I’m fairly certain she’ll understand what I mean by “douchebag.”
-----
First of all, you’re going to have to deal with some rain. You’re going to get some mud on you. You’re going to sweat and ache and have to go to the bathroom. You will walk many miles. You’re going to need a shower.
At times, you will be surrounded by douchebags. This is especially true if Kings of Leon has been spotted in your vicinity. Don’t worry, just shower again.
You should dance. Really, you should. It is an expression of how you process music and how music processes you.
Hand sanitizer is your friend.
Take lots of pictures along the way.
Sometimes you just need to lie on the ground and look up at the trees. Just make sure you don’t get stepped on.
Drink plenty of water.
A good sense of humor is more important than a good sense of direction.
You will have a lot of choices to make. Some will turn out to be mistakes. Some will turn out perfect. Don’t waste time regretting the former. Enjoy the hell out of the latter.
Two words: comfortable shoes.
At times you will be alone. At times you will be surrounded by people you care about. At times you will be both.
Fun and comfort don’t have to be mutually exclusive, but sometimes you'll want to sacrifice one for the other.
Try to catch Dan Deacon if he hasn't keeled over from an infarction or been committed, but please bring earplugs.
People move at all different paces. Don’t let the slow ones get in your way.
Fun is fun and done is done. Also, sometimes done is fun.
