Lollapaloozing!!

Current location: Chicago, IL

Right this moment Robyn has blocked yet another toilet (she's on 2 and I'm on 1) and poor poor Andy is now trying to unblock it.

We just came back from a huge day at Lollapalooza - sooo much fun! And staying at Andy and Iana's place in Chicago is just so cool. They have a really nice apartment - right in Broadway - the gay capital of Chicago. Everyone here is so openly gay it's amazing!! But apart from the gay location, the apartment is so full of personality. Every single corner of the apartment has either a photo of Orlando Bloom or John Lennon or an equal rights post card ... it's just how I would have my apartment.

Anyway... back to Lollapalooza!!! Today we saw the Kaiser Chiefs, Cake, Pixies, The Black Keys and Weezer. There were other bands playing too but we could only fit those in. Kaiser Chiefs are soooo good live!! I think that was my highlight... and not to mention The Black Keys... wow. I have a LOT of photos... but will post later! Andy wore a skirt today - yay!

Tomorrow we'll be seeing Louis XIV, Ben Kweller, The Arcade Fire, spoon and The Killers. We're all planned out.

Before we arrived in Chicago, we spent a day in Pittsburgh which is a lovely city and much bigger and metro than I had expected from a once small steel town. We spent a whole chunk of the day at the Andy Warhol museum and it was the best fun I've EVER had a museum - the installation were interactive (the silver clouds!!!) - we were just prancing around this room with giant floating silver pillows in mid air!! I love Andy Warhol....

I have to go and have a shower, everyone is watching Futurama....

ADIOs!!!

Thankyou George.

Might I add that American toilets are very strong suckers, but extremely narrow.

And besides, with all the shit that I'm eating over here, it's surprising that I don't block a toilet every time that I...OK that's too much information.
