A few weeks back, I met a guy named Hans who works at Google at an awesome bar in the Mish called Blenders (more on that some other day). He told me that if there was one thing I had to do this summer, it’s go to Chicago to see the Pitchfork Music Fest. And so we went!
Chicago is a great place, with great street art and graffiti culture.
Pimp Corn! Once you pop a bitch, you can't stop!
I’m told that Chicago wants really bad to be Frisco, and we found some evidence. Chicago has a bar called “Beauty Bar” just like in the Mish, and check out the tag on the window:
Beauty Bar in Chicago. This one is shockingly familiar.
This funny looking frog picture was taken on MISSION STREET in THE MISH. Stop stealing our frogs, Chicago!
There is also incredible bathroom art!
So many Elvises watching you pee at Club FOOT
But enough about the art and the city, there was music to be enjoyed. We had a great time watching some of the best unkown acts we had ever seen! Video highlights after the jump!
This jolly fellow on stage was one of the Wu Tang Clan.
So it’s one drummer with a mask and one guy with a bass guitar, and they make noise. And people love it.
This guy was the master of the “Flying Rape Bomb”
These guys are from San Francisco! I have never heard of them before, but they seem to have a lot of fans. And the singer kind of looks like he’s in Duran Duran, so that’s good.
There were crowd surfers at after parties. Sweet.
Wow, what a wonderful weekend!
