Perry Farrell's takeover of Chicago's Grant Park is taking place right now, and the skies seem to have cleared in time for Radiohead to headline tonight's installment of the weekend-long fest. Sadly, I will not be making my second trip to Chicago in three weeks, so here instead are some news items of note trickling out of the Windy City.

• For the first time in its four-year stint as a single-city, multi-day festival, Lollapalooza has sold out a day; "primary market" tickets for today's bill are all gone, thanks in no small part to the presence of Thom Yorke & Co. Of course, Craigslist still provides. [Jim DeRogatis]
• Also, it's really freakin' hot—so hot that the longest lines aren't for beer, but for water. Sacrilege! [Time Out Chicago]
• Probably not helping the lines: If the temperature hits 90 degrees or higher, water will be free. [WBEZ]
