Wow! So, I'm very excited that Pitchfork is this weekend! It's going to be the best! I'm really looking forward to it, especially since I've recently discovered that I enjoy many of the acts that are going to be taking over the stages in Union Park! AND! Since I'll be enjoying it with my
bestest gal pal, Alli Doll!! She's flying all the way in from NYC just to see me (and Pitchfork, and Chicago)!!!

Such acts include,
Fleet Foxes,
Bon Iver (he wears a fanny pack! my kind of man),
M. Ward, and
Vampire Weekend (who I used to hate, mainly because I heard them once and thought,
hmmm. I think I like these guys, let me give it another try, and then everybody liked them and talked about how great they were and how they're the best band in all the history of music and so I decided that I didn't like them any more because I didn't want to be like everyone else, but it ended up taking a lot of energy trying to avoid them, so I caved and bee-bopped to their songs). Also, I'm really excited to see
The Apples in Stereo,
Spoon, and DUH!
PUBLIC ENEMY!!! Also,
Ghostface and
Raekwon should be awesome!
I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy every act that I see.
Pitchfork seems to have a rigorous definition for great music. Also, for those of you cats that aren't able to attend the weekend's festivities, there's a free preview at the Jay
