This year, rather than rolling your eyes at so-obvious music festival scenesters, (though you'll probably do that anyway), get prepared in advance with a little help from the RedEye. The link below takes you to an educational look at the 10 people you meet at music festivals, particularly those in Chicago. Perhaps this spot-on and hysterical look at common music fest personalities will make it easier for you to manage getting whacked in the head by a hula hoop or judged by the dude with fifteen lanyards around his neck. Regardless, it's a laugh too good to miss, and it will help you get in the mood for Chicago's biggest and best fests this year. Ah, summertime.
