Beyond the usual toys that people bring to Lollapalooza, the beach balls, hula hoops and bubbles, I spotted a few more unique novelties to make playtime more enjoyable during the three days of rain, heat and music.
Noodle on the lawn of Perry’s Stage at the close of Diplo before Bassnectar:
Plastic lawn owl on stick at Bassnectar on Perry’s Stage – useful to rage with and to find your friends:
Plastic baby doll with paint on it’s face – serving as hypothetical child and raging partner at Perry’s Stage for Kaskade. This couple introduced me to their baby who was there celebrating it’s 7th month birthday. The “mother” told me the child’s future lay in music, she was going to attend Juliard, so the “parents” wanted to make sure she was exposed to music at a young age.
Glow sticks, bouncy ball, and sequins at Animal Collective:
Rubber chicken at Passion Pit:
More elongated objects to help find your friends – hippie kids are funny, walk tall, carry a big stick.
The toy fairy – whistle, wings, tutu dress and beads - I found this little fairy at the VIP entrance on the side of the Playstation Stage. I tried to post there to get away from the crowds waiting for Santigold. She was volunteering her time to direct people without special wristbands (like myself and herself) to leave that area and let the VIPs through
Inflatable palm tree at Artic Monkeys (photo submitted by @kohnisrad) :
The poster to a musician from adoring fan – this girl has apparently smoked up with Snoop Dogg before:
These are some really good pictures-good composition. I like the fairy and the baby.
