music mania - part 2
pitchfork music festival. an indie rocker's paradise. if you haven't checked out pitchfork on the the internet yet, you're missing out on some damn good music reviews. this site has such a massive following, a good review of your album can launch your career. it also means that this festival was sold-out.
this is where julie, my music partner-in-crime came to the rescue. she scored two VIP passes courtesy of her sister's boyfriend who works for emusic.com (another great site to score great indie rock/blues/jazz tunes). we had backstage watching/listening access. mingled with (male) rockers that all sported the tight, tight jeans look (i think i heard my balls whisper thank you to me). chowed on free food. drank free beer. left the VIP area every once in a while to hang out with the "commoners." ahh, it feels good to be important. or pretend at least.
i must say, we had the most fun at the side stage tent with the lesser-known bands and djs. we were digging cansei de ser sexy (css), a crazy brazilian band that had a lead singer wearing a rainbow/leopard skin leotard and glen kotche (the drummer from wilco) doing a jaw-dropping solo percussion set. we shook our booties to djs a-track and diplo. we liked diplo so much that we went to smart bar for his afterset and danced the rest of the night away. let me tell you, that girl can dance. she wore me out. nice work, jules.
the highlight of the festival had to be the icecream man. this guy is amazing. he's trying to roll in his icecream truck around the country giving away free ice cream bars. so for the VIPers, we had free, all-day access to this guy. the fat kid in me ate a lot of ice cream that weekend. i hung out there so much that i'm even on his website! *click on the link and click on page 2 of the pics*
truckin' to the grand finale, lollapalooza.
