He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fooks

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand

[Marc Meierkort @MarcMeierkort]

Whoa! Was Screaming Trees the headliner?

I saw Son Volt at Lollapalooza 2005. But got to see Uncle Tupelo in 1991.

Saw Anthrax with Public Enemy and Primus.

@MarcMeierkort Screaming Trees was with Son Volt. Alice in Chains was with Anthrax, Slayer, and Megadeth.

[Marc Meierkort @MarcMeierkort]

Also saw Radiohead. So jealous of Alice in Chains and Screaming Trees.
