POST 2: My first Lollapalooza without ticket!!!

Hello! I'm going to talk about the first experience of concert with friends. In this case, it was with one particular friend. We were in the year 2013, like in first grade of highschool. Me and my friend Cesar were walking down the street when we saw a Poster on a bus stop, the poster says "Lollapalooza".

None of us had in that time enough money to pay the ticket, so we thought that maybe we could try to jump or do something to make it. So we organiced at what time que were going to meet in the subway station, so from there we were going to walk around the O'higgins park searching for a posibility to enter.

We saw that there was a posibility close to the Skatepark that is inside the O'higgins park, so I entered first and tried to hide behind a van, the guards were taking out the skaters. I was hidden but in some moment, the skaters saw me and started laughing, so the security guard turned around and put their eyes on me. He walked and said to me that I had to leave the place.


Then, when I was with Cesar again, we were a little sad, thinking that we couldn't make it, we were thinking about going home and that kind of stuff.
Cesar saw a men in the park who was making us signs, like trying to say "come here". We walked close to the bars, he was hidden in a sledge. He said that we could try to pass between the bars, that we were "flacos" (slim). So we enter and ask him if there were more security guards and he said that no, so we start walking a little nervous and then we realize that we were already inside of Lollapalooza!!

Then we had to wait until 12 pm, at that time the doors are opened to the general public. We start to search what bands we were going to watch.
We watch some really good bands like Queen Of The Stone Age and Pearl Jam, I don't remember all the bands.

Now I haven't seen Cesar in years, it's a little sad, but sometimes I call his mom to know how is he, so this memory is very important to me...
