So the lineup was announced on Monday. Correspondingly, I spent a rather significant amount of time drawing up a spreadsheet with all the bands, my knowledge of them, a desire rating to see them on a scale of 1-10, and any additional notes. It was my hope that I could use some or all of this data to create some kind of chart of graph, but I couldn't figure it out how to do it. This all seemed pretty normal to me. But last night, I had the following conversation with my sister Claire:CQ: "So the lolla lineup is out. . ."
EQ: "Yeah, I know. I created this little excel spreadsheet that had all the bands on it, if I'd heard of them, if I want to see them, and any other information that I thought would be helpful."
CQ: "Helpful for what? Why would you do that?"
EQ: "Um, so I can organise my thoughts about the bands. To be able, to, uh, map out my strategy."
CQ: silence
So another reminder that life is a constant process of self-reflection.

A few things to note about this upcoming festival:
A) Perry Farrell sleeps on a pile of money
B) A hundred hipster bands are blog-mad this week
C) The number of attendees this year will surpass the total population of many small central american countries
D) If Eleanor actually totes this excel spreadsheet to the festival grounds, I will be forced to hurl her into Lake Michigan
Well said.
