Of course, the city is holding its breath for the Lollapalooza show this weekend. Why they always manage to end up doing that on the hottest damn weekend of the summer, I have no idea. So, this city will be crowded with young people with various things pierced and lots of tattoos and wearing interesting clothing. It may be a good time to check out a jazz show.

As always, thanks to WDCB for the information below.
