Who here is going?

I get to be there on Saturday. Any Chicago people have advice on what to do or what to avoid down where the concert will be, in Grant Park, near Millennium Park.

Who else will be there on Saturday taking in the wonderful sounds of Feist, The Flaming Lips, Gnarls Barkley, Common, *Thievery Corporation*, among many other rockin' bands?

I'd really like to check out Thievery Corporation... but I'm really looking forward to seeing Gnarls Barkley perform. I hear that their stage show is incredible.

Flaming Lips are AWESOME live. And I want to see Gnarls Barkley too. Send them down here when you're done with them.

Yes, cannot *wait* for Thievery. For some reason I thought I'd never see them live, but I guess I was wrong. They're spinning a set the night before at Metro in Chicago, too... I'd *really* like to see that set.

I've only heard good things about Flaming Lips live shows. No idea what to expect really, it should be crazy.

Gnarls Barkley is so new who knows what will happen - they dressed up in Star Wars gear at the MTV Video Awards, that was pretty ... you know... crazy.
