THE WINNING POST?!
Once upon a time,
there was a girl with a radio for a head. This made living a normal life difficult, a real "Broken Social Scene". She had no friends. The cool kids all teased her, their "Girl Talk" stabbing her like "Nine Inch Nails". The girl sometimes got so upset that she would "Rage Against the Machine" - "Flogging Mollys", telling "White Lies", "Spanking Rock" and generally causing "Explosions in the Sky". After a while she realized that no matter how much she behaved like a "Rogue Wave", her "Radiohead" would not disappear. Suddenly she had a "Brand New" thought that maybe her head wasn't the worst thing. It was cool and hot like "Iron & Wine" and she was sort of like a "Blues Traveler", taking music with her wherever she went. From that day forward, her life was like a "Bloc Party". She danced and laughed all the time with her new friends "G Love and the Special Sauce", "Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings", "Lupe Fiasco", and "Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks". They went to parties on "Okkervil River", listened to "The Raconteurs", laughed because "Kanye" would only touch the "Black Keys", admired "Gogol Bordello’s" electric touch and wondered "What Made Milwaukee Famous". In the end they all lived happily ever after – with lives full of "Love, Rockets" and "Brazilian Girls".
Give me my happy ending! Send me to Lollapalooza!
We hope you don't pick too many locks at Lollapalooza with those crossed fingers. Stop stalking your email and CONGRATULATIONS!

or just the people that commented most recently?
i did the same thing thing and omg! mine actually made sense. but I guess it's good to know that I actually had an amazing shot at it considering that I did that and mine made more sense.
seriously not all of us kept commenting and commenting until we got what we wanted.
this seriously bites. how cheap. now I can't go. i dont even have enough money for college.
i wish i would have mentioned my fingers were crossed maybe i would have won! wtf!

Also,
Because you'll be doing everyone at Lollapalooza a favor by keeping us backstage instead of onstage. :)

P.S. Lollapalooza owes me a new pair of shoes.

I agree, like every third one used either band names or song names in a mad-lib type story. That isn't creative.
But, feh, I'm used to it.

Because picking me to go would be a punishment. + -
What is that crime, exactly? Laziness, Gluttony, Animal Pornography (only a crime in the North). Seriously, forcing me to enjoy myself in an outdoor setting with other youths, well, I could not think of a better way to rehabilitate and prepare me for becoming a productive member of society.
I know what you are saying, "this is that darned reverse psychology, he must be one of them new-fangled Freudian fellers!" Well, to that I would say... you talk funny. Is there such thing as just plain fangled? And "fellers", hmm, I kinda like that. I promise that if you select me I will refer to everyone I meet while at Lollapalooza as "feller." Even the ladies.
Alright, so this is getting to be about 250 words, and I learned from years of experience that my ADHD medicine will run its course any second now. I should summarize!
- I deserve to be punished.
- Crowds of young, hip people would be the best punishment
- I promise to refer to you and everyone as feller.
- I could bring my girlfriend (it might help smooth over that whole animal porn thing she won't shut up about)
Thanks for considering me, and I hope that the reasons that I have provided will lead you to the only correct decision, which would be the hot chick with the fake rack a couple of comments below me. Or you know... me.
Very sincerely yours and with great affection Jeffrey Michael Grubb

It's now tomorrow. Perhaps they email only the winner and leave everyone else hanging? Evil, evil webpage. Or maybe they're in a country/timezone that's still in yesterday.
I am from Wisconsin, however --
1) I'm lactose intolerant -- not a cheesehead
2) I'm not a Packers fan. In fact, I don't watch sports, and hate football in general.
3) I'm not sure what state the Lions play for even
4) I don't like beer so I don't have that wisconsin thing going for me either.
5) I'm a redhead and probably don't belong in the sun at lollapalooza. I'm guessing http://going.com didn't pick me because of my melaNIN deficiency. It was good of them to look out for the health of my skin like that. However, having freckles does make me cooler to talk to, even if I don't like sports.

Well, the only places where it is still yesterday is the West Coast to Hawaii... But even still, chances are they did just notify the winner and they'll update this page with the winner a couple of days later.
I've given up hope!
