ok... shit's hit the fan: CHICAGO july 13th pitchfork fest, anyone comin'?
 

so word has that my friends missed the chance to buy tix when i told them, and now it's just lil' max from sardinia / italy going to get in. it's perfectly fine for me to get there and hang out and shit, no problemo. but i guess this would be a cool chance to meet some forumite, and hang around together...

if anyone's down let me know here or somewhere else?

ciao,

M

Is it sold out?

yea, it sold about 2 weeks ago apparently good thing i got my tickets before then

Id come if the possibility wasn't impossible.

this auction just started but for anyone whos interested in only the friday tickets. http://cgi.ebay.com/Pitchfork-Music-...QQcmdZViewItem

that would rule beyond belief.
but such impossibilities are a pain in the ass.

holy fuck, what is the price for those tix, 45 bucks???

why did I pay mine 18 dollars??????????????????????

he must have bought them off the net and had them do the next day fedex maybe. my two tickets came to around $40 with the service charge and the regular shipping costs.

ok anyone whos been to one of these before, if you hang outside by the fence can you still see/hear the show? Union Park is not that big, right?

you're right on the fact that union park isnt that big, at least compared to other parks in the city. so my fair guess is you'll be able to easily hear the show, but im not going to guarantee thatll youll see it very well if at all.

I just found out that the park is right behind the corner where my uncle lives. killer.

me and my friends will be there, just shout "Addison!" and I'll come runnin'.

do you know porkmarras in person? just 1.6 million people, he shouldn't be hard to spot.

Addison! ADDISON! Oh well, let's say I'll wear a shirt that'll quite resemble my virtual entity... in person.

and as for Pork, no! But he did pm me as soon as he found out I'm a sardinian too. He's one in a million I'd say! I think there's another guy from Sardinia on the forum? Kinda weird uh?

current bid is almost $110. forget it, i don't want to go that bad.

sucks, too, because i have my mommy's permission and live in FUCKIN MILWAUKEE.

i'm so there. 3 hours early

thanks to the kindness of one of the board members here who hooked me up with tickets for cost, i will be there as well. now im just hoping my flight doesnt get cancelled or delayed, im scheduled to be in Chi at 5 pm.

I'm flying the day before so I should be on time (for Slint). 9PM seems late for the SY set (see the pitchfork website), isn't the park closing around 10? or it is 11?

LOL I just went 2 the Taste on Saturday and had my blue washingmachine sy shirt on. Saw my wife and daughter laughing their asses off and said what's up. They said you hear what those kids say. I say no. Did u see the old guy with the SY shirt. OUCH!! Still, will c em at Pitchfork and rock my old azz off!!

no clue. but it sounds like some people might meet up. ill probably have my white "church kicker" shirt on or a pavement tee.
