A massive Los Angeles Halloween party that's free and open to the public might seem to be a recipe for a crowd-control nightmare. But the throng of those who lined up early and in an orderly fashion for the Metromix, Indie 103.1, and Bud Light Lime "Drop Dead Gore-geous" party at the Natural History Museum seemed only to have good, clean, costumed fun on their minds.
Metromix's Jessie Rubin—herself in a Secret Service agent costume that looked very much like an event producer without a costume (all-black clothes with a headset)—oversaw the party, where the crowd stayed thick from 9 p.m. on Friday night into the early-morning hours.

With Plenty of Sponsors, Lollapalooza Set to Take Over Chicago This Weekend
|
FROM CHICAGO
The current incarnation of Lollapalooza, the brainchild of Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell, along with Austin, Texas-based promoters C3 Presents and the William Morris Agency, will once again set up shop in Chicago's Grant Park this Friday through Sunday. The fourth-annual Chicago-only festival encompasses 120 acts (including Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, and Kanye West) performing on eight sponsored stages, as well as various environments, lounges, and activities scattered throughout the park.
Lollapalooza 2008 incorporates several new elements this year, including Perry's, named for Farrell, an open-air electronica stage featuring live DJ sets each day at 2 p.m., and Lederhosen's Biergarten, a beer hall situated near Buckingham Fountain. Both Green Street (a destination space educating festival-goers about Lolla's eco-friendly initiatives) and Kidzapalooza (featuring a stage, "School of Rock" Jam Tent, a recording studio, and special performances) are returning this year.
