The next two posts written by writer Sarah Dahnke will be written in first-person singular, in order to recount her personal experiences at Lollapalooza. For those of you who have never quite grown accustomed to our signature "we" style, we hope this is a breath of fresh air, but don't get too used to it.

We buy a lot of wine. It isn't as much in volume and dollar amount as we spend on beer, but it's still an impressive (or shocking) sum. Whenever we have company over, we're always amazed by the odd person who inspects our wine rack like we're being interviewed for acceptance to some Ivy League university. They'll look at the bottles, read the labels with the most serious of intents, then ask us why we're buying wines with screw caps. Their assumption being that if the wine doesn't require the removal of a corkscrew, it can't be good. Typically, we resist the urge to cuff them upside the head. Unless they crinkle their noses, then we go ahead and swing for the fences.

We may be suffering from a lingering hangover this morning (and woe to the Jenna Bush lookalike next to us who surrendered after the first act), but we’ll still be heading over to Symphony Center tonight to check out the one-night-only triple bill of Chicago Sinfonietta, Poi Dog Pondering, and Antonin Dvořák.
