anyone interested in going to lollapalooza this year?

i'm serious. the lineups for both days are pretty impressive, it takes place in town (molson amphitheatre), and lawn tickets are in the $40 range (each day).

The lineup:
Day One will see Morrissey, Sonic Youth, Modest Mouse, Le Tigre, The Von Bondies, Broken Social Scene, The Walkmen, Wolf Eyes, Danger Mouse, The Datsuns, Sparta and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Day Two’s bands include String Cheese Incident, The Flaming Lips, Wilco, Gomez, Polyphonic Spree, TV On The Radio, The Thrills, The Coup, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Elbow and Wheat. Playing both days on the special Solar Sound Stage are Mike Watt, The Dresden Dolls, Bumblebeez 81, Carina Round, The Living Things, Peretz and Ross Golan And Molehead

The dates are august 5th and 6th (thursday and friday) and while taking two days off work and not spending them with loved ones may be beyond verboten for some, the dates could coincide nicely with the same loved ones going out of town or cottaging (can be used as a verb?).

i checked the ticketmaster (spitting noise to convey disgust) website and there doesn't seem to be a way to order online but i could always call them or the box office directly.

any thoughts?
