After the over-busyness of last week, we are now on vacation at Lollapalooza in Chicago.

We got here at about 5:00 on Friday. Mark & Ethan & Abby went straight down to the show. My foster daughter’s aunt was here on the dot to pick her up, but we had to wait a bit for the stuck in traffic dad of the other girl we’d brought along to come get her. We went into the outdoor cafe and got some dinner – I had sweet potato fries & a salad, and Goose Island Belgian ale; chauffeured girl ordered a large burger & fries, with a smoothie to drink – and naturally, dad & food arrived the same time, so we got the girl’s burger packed up to go, and I handed off daughter & dinner to the dad.
I took the L down and found Mark & the kids easy enough at Jimmy Cliff. They went to watch Lady Gaga; I stayed put for the Strokes, but by 9:45 I had had it, and went for the L without waiting for the others. I got back to the hotel, showered and into sleep boxers & t-shirt, and then got dressed again to go meet the others for bar snacks – chicken fingers, apple pie, and mozzarella sticks – before getting back into sleepwear and to bed.
