Twitter users couldn't wait to get their tickets:
JarynLH how killer is the lollapalooza lineup?
HaggisBulfin If I don't go to Bonnaroo this year, I must do Lollapalooza!
knowsurprises The Lollapalooza lineup is very solid. I want to go to there.
PrncssKT Lollapalooza is calling my name
_jacob Man, Lollapalooza 2009 sounds incredible: Decemberists, Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, Depeche Mode ... $190 for a 3-day pass http://bit.ly/zvTIu
echristopher I'm very excited about the Lollapalooza lineup! Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, Kings of Leon and more. Who else is going?
Kate_2323 lollapalooza line-up is out of control.....I HAVE to go!!!
justinstrange My Lollapalooza two cents. As expected, it's a fantastic lineup. Also as expected, it costs too much.
MegPoulelis Lolla lineup! Summer cannot come soon enough. http://2009.lollapalooza.com/
Others aren't as thrilled about the lineup:
ejdrouillard Not too impressed with Lolla. Lots of good bands, but the top of the bill is boring (meaning the good bands play in the miserably hot day).
firepretty The Lolla lineup sucks. Heading out & hanging with Kells.
chevelleluv im very disappointed with the lolla lineup. maybe worth goin to see, depeche mode, kings of leon, the killers an snoop dogg lmao
ForrestW weak headliners, strong support, overall bonnaroo remains king: http://2009.lollapalooza.com/

No Thorn on this Rose
Rose's 36 points tied the record for the highest playoff scoring debut in NBA history. He also added 11 assists before fouling out in overtime.
You knew this game would spark conversation in the Twitterverse, and basketball fans in Chicago are revved up about their Rose:
defsupreme @yesImFresh derrick rose is officially a martian.
cp432002 Derrick Rose your rookie card just went platinum. Great game. The way Boston played it wouldn't matter if K.G. was playing anyway
J_dot_Reed Bulls take game 1!!!!! Shout out to Derrick Rose...36 points and 11 asissts. If he don't get Rookie of the Year somebody paid somebody off.
Dragonsflame35 just watched the end of the bulls/celtics game. Derrick Rose... you are a BEAST!
And it's safe to say Bulls fans are feeling pretty confident their team can knock off the defending NBA champion Celtics-
PRTeech Point of clarification: I'm a Celtics supporter, Bulls fanatic. My allegiance lies with Chicago in this series.
Stylefiller Oooo. Bulls won in Boston after overtime. Now in series Chicago lead 1-0. I can say only one thing "NBA, where amazing happens."
DPDaPhranchise Twitter fam!! Ya'll still doubting my CHICAGO BULLS???
Man charged after three deaths in Hoffman Estates
Twitterers posted updates both near the scene and in reaction to the news.
dansinker A more accurate name for @Chicago_News would be "Chicago Stabbings and Car Crash Central."
dyphan More murder and craziness down the street from me RT @mbandur: Wow! Five people stabbed, 2 fatally in Hoffman Estates. http://bit.ly/15cIDv
kkclayton sad story but the comments are even sadder RT @chicagotribune 2 fatally stabbed in Hoffman Estates http://tinyurl.com/ckrhwy
dblogged You know that multiple stabbing today in Hoffman estates? We took a wrong turn after golf and ended up on that street. Sad. Cops everywhere
