pitchfork 06

so this past weekend, we braved the blistering heat to attend both days of the pitchfork music festival at union park in our fair city of chicago. we listened to a lot of great music, ate surprisingly good festival food, and spent a lot of time drinking water in order to not pass out. i have included some digipic-highlights below...enjoy!





b contemplates the many, many bands appearing at the festival and wonders which one might tickle his fancy...as he wears a tiny sombrero.










nora and i attempt to keep cool as the heat index heads into the triple digits...









one of the most engaging performances of day one was given by art brut. they were awesome, swaggering and sweaty...










later that evening, the silver jews worked their magic on the crowd of adoring fans...







day two was not nearly as toasty and it was kept buoyant by a too-short set by jens lekman. fun times. aesop rock and mr. lif also presented us with some very fresh rhymes and beats. i have no pic of that...i was too busy throwing my hands up in the air like i just didn't care.








as the sun went down, everything seemed to get a lot better...we had a real nice time.

It looks like you had fun! And glad to hear the weather is cooling down- it's still hotter than a mofo here in Vt. Isn't the word mofo funny? I giggle when I use it (and I use it a lot!)
