A Very Hard Decision

So, I am faced with a very tough decision here. Originally I was planning on going to lollapalooza this summer, its a giant music festival. Radiohead, Rage against the machine, nine inch nails, kanye and a bunch of other crazy bands are playing

www.lollapalooza.com

now, I have been offered a trip to mexico over the same time that lollapalooza is happening (august 1-3 is the festival, the trip would be august 2-9)

the ultimate question is, which one should i pick???

If the trip to mexico involves beaches and surfing I would do that. If this is your toughest decision to make your life is pretty good.

Mexico, why would you rather go to a stupid concert over going to Mexico for a week?

Where in Mexico?

haha...good try but that was brutal.  el quiso decir que mexico es la mejor opción, yo estoy de acuerdo.
i would say mexico for sure, but that's me personally.  as someone above me said, you can go to concerts all the time.

dude, dumb question.  i've been to Lollapalooza twice, i'm going again this year, and i wouldn't miss it for the world.  seriously, Rage Against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails, and Radiohead headlining?  that's nuts!  i know everyone's saying "go to Mexico!", but fuck that.  at that time of the year, Grant Park is hot enough, so why would you want to go to Mexico?  that's dumb.  instead, go to the most epic festival of the year.  go to Lolla.  i'll see you there.  we'll smoke mad blunts.  epicness will ensue.

hahahahaha, you've clearly never been to Lolla and there are definitely some sick bands going this summer.  if you've been to Lolla, you know what's up- the festival's great, the location's great, the music is fuckin awesome.

completley depends on where in mexico, if its like cancun or tihajuana, go to the concert. If its somewhere nice go to mexico.

i just got back from mexico about 5 days ago. it was for my senior spring break at an all inclusive resort and it was really fun. I did have about 30 friends down there with me though which made it a lot better. I dunno mexico would be cool but that concert deal might be worth it to go.

If you go to a resort in Mexico, it will be full of tourists, mostly Americans. Yay. May as well go to Florida...

I'd vote Lollapalooza, because that is a crazy line-up and I'm sure it will be a great time where you'll probably meet more fun people than at a resort in Mexico.

If you travel around Mexico, go to different places, and actually have a culturally different experience
, then go there no question
