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.
|
Im excited for Yoko Ono and Thurston's collaberation. im so siked.
|
If anyone has an extra ticket for friday I'd love to hear from you...
|
hey hey hey!
i am in california right now. i will be there so friggin early... i gotta go thru the line for my ticket is "will call" shit... i will be wearing my avatar man, so look up for me in case you wanna hook up or sumthin... cannot wait for it!!! |
Hope youre havin' fun in the us of a Max. Be sure to use meth and shoot guns while you are here bro.
|
no no dude
i am all into shots of a different kind booze you snooze you lose shoes |
I was wondering, the ticket says that the show ends at 10pm and sonic youth starts at 9, There's no way they can play ddn in one hour and i'm also hoping for an encore. Does anyone know if the fest has to be over by 10 pm due to noise laws?
|
NO. No one is going.

If you see a guy with white ray bans and is real drunk.... stay away.
|
I'll be there. So all you teenage-rioting, middle age hating, young folk better chill. Some of us were actually alive when DDN came to be. But I still love you. I believe the children are our future. And you can quote me on that.
|
yo matt
a man from the King County can never fail the youth and with King i mean Uncle Steve |

you can meet me! ill be the girl with the ripped joey ramone jeans |
You can meet me as well, I'll be a dude with long hair
|
i highly doubt they're going to fit a studio 75 minute album into one hour....smart question though guys ;)
|

what? how do you know sonic youth is at 9?? |
Quote:
theyll be tons of dudes with long hair lol. do you think there'll be a mosh pit? i kinda don't want one. also, is it only one stage? |
There are two large stages, the "Connector" and "Aluminum" stages. Slint is on the Connector Stage and GZA and Sonic Youth are on the other one. It's the one diagonal to the crowd. If you're going in the gate nearest the train stop (Lake/Ashland), walk straight ahead and take a soft left. Can't miss it. I'm the bald dude with LE sneakers. Can't miss me.
|
Have they been playing only RR songs for the encores? It would be nice to see Tom Violence or Catholic Block finishing up the show. Either way I am not going to complain...I was just wondering.
|
yea it's basically only been RR songs, i remember seeing that they did Bull in the Heather in one of the encores so far. and that 100% and Bull were on the Primavera setlist but time was crunched (im guessing) so they didnt end up playing either.
|
alright,
so I will be wearing my avatar (black shirt w/ bustin ghost logo) as promised and probably will have my invicta backpack on... I am bringing my mini camera and some album booklet "just in case" :) call me out MAX if you see a skinny guy that looks like this: ![]() this is totally exciting... cagliari 2002, chicago 2007... 5 years of sonic bliss! |
