because i know a lot of you people are aware of its existence...

I went last year for Broken Social Scene, The Wrens, AC Newman, Death from above 1979, Decemberists, Deerhoof, etc. I am heading down there on Friday with the major interest in seeing yo la tengo and seeing how the silver jews do in front of a real big crowd.

doubt it...but anybody going? It's in Chicago btw

i wish i could man

7/24/2006 9:12:50 PM

Shellac is coming here so i guess that will have to do.

7/24/2006 9:20:52 PM

I really wanted to go but couldn't afford the plane and hotel for the weekend. Or, rather, I could afford it, but I don't need to be spending $500+ on a concert. sarijoul is going, though.

7/24/2006 9:21:19 PM

Just hanging out in Chicago with nothing but time on my hands, I'll probably go Saturday (Sunday is Wrigley for Cardinals-Cubs)

7/24/2006 9:42:44 PM

^^^ yeah, i'll be making an appearance at the touch and go festival in september in chicago

^^ yes, but unlike lolla-pa-jewza, only 30 would be on music

^ good deal...it will be worth checking out, enjoy your time in chicago...weather looks to be around 80 which is 20 degrees cooler than last year

7/27/2006 5:29:25 PM

7/27/2006 6:53:22 PM

7/28/2006 9:17:43 AM

Pitchfork

What I'm going to drive through the head of the creator of a website for shitty indie music.

a sexual manuever involving folding one's pinky and thumb into the palm and using the remaining fingers to:1)penetrate the ass. 2) penetrate the vagina. and 3)tickle either the outer vagina or the buttcrack with the third finger.
in some circles known as a "three pronged attack" or in nautical circles, " the poseidion adventure" after his legendary trident.
