Kickball + Lollapalooza + Celebrities? = HILARITY

2010_08_kickball.jpg Lollapalooza is about a lot of things. Primarily music and booze. Secondarily (at least this year) excellent locally sourced grub. Dancing hippies. And kickball.

Kickball?

Yes, this year marks the debut of the Lollapalooza celebrity kickball game. Local events site Do312 has pulled together a motley crew of famous folk (and our own Tankboy, though we have no idea what he's famous for outside of pissing off Soundgarden fans) whom will attempt to stay sober long enough to complete a game of kickball on Saturday afternoon during the music festival. Celebrities? Booze? Attempts at athleticism? This should be hilarious. And of course you don't want to miss it, right? Head here and "like" the event to be entered for a chance to be one of the folks sitting on the sidelines and taking in what is sure to be an amusing train wreck of hilarious proportions.
