Lollapalooza 2010 photos

Deena and I, as well as several other Pittsburgh bloggers (check out BNAC, PGH Music Report and The Pop Eye) attended Lollapalooza in Chicago this weekend. I'm not sure if I'll be posting much in the way of a review, as I've posted my opinions at length elsewhere, but I'll share some of the weekend's photos and list my favorite shows of the weekend.
