Countdown to Lollapalooza

The GF will be returning in four short days to go to Lollapalooza with me. Normally this would be a simple, exciting event. But when is life ever simple?

It turns out that basically my GF's entire family will be in town that same weekend. Her Grandmother, her sister returning from Japan, her sister that live in the suburbs, and her twin sister from out east. To make it even more exciting, her twin is bringing her mysterious boyfriend, which the family is dying to meet. Now that they know the GF will also be in town, planning must be done.

Now choices must be made, which groups to see? I am unwilling to compromise on The New Pornographers and Sonic Youth, which play Saturday. Saturday also includes The Flaming Lips and Kanye West, so that pretty much rules out the whole day. But what of Sleater Kinney and Panic! At the Disco on Friday? Or Reverend Horton Heat, Wilco and the Red Hot Chili Peppers on Sunday? I don't want to see all of the groups, but of course it's not scheduled to make it easy on me. And these are just the groups I want to see, I would also enjoy checking out some of the other acts as well.

The easiest thing would be to convince them to come into the city for breakfast every morning, and then leave around lunch time. That way we could see them every day, but still enjoy Lollapalooza as well. But if all the sisters sleep like the GF, that isn't too likely.
