The third day of Lollapalooza was even hotter than the day before. (We didn't think that was possible. It was.) After hydrating, sunscreening, and eating a nutrient-dense lunch (sausage, grits, and a brisket sandwich are...

The sun came out on Saturday and brought with it temperatures in the 90s. It was muggy -- but still an upgrade from the rainy day before. We started our day with indie/electro trio Miike...
