[Vas Deferens]

Anyone in the forum going? It's really tempting...

 There will also be a pre-party at the Metro with Sunset Rubdown, Voxtrot, and the Joggers!

I'll be there.  Got my tickets a while ago. Amazing lineup for $30.  My plan is to stay in Chicago for the week and go to Lolla the following weekend.

I envy you...but if I do that, I'll miss Sleater Kinney, Rentals, and Pretenders at the 930...so I think it's fair

I'm going.

I was going to go, but had to cancel.  I just bought a car, so now I don't have any money right now for a trip.  For people that go, check out Flatstock at Pitchfork.  It's a bunch a people that do concert posters around the country.  A lot of good stuff...

Damn I want to go to this....not possible.   Gggrrrr.

[sonickteam2]

good lineup, but it just sounds boring to me.  I mean is there really like a party going on here or is it a ton of folded armed indie kids staring at rock bands and the like?
 
  anyone ever been before?

[attache]

i'll be there for the pre-party, the festival, and sleater-kinney when i get back here.  it's gonna be a fun couple of days.

[amnesiac]

Well, something came up at the last minute and now I can't make this one. Just Lollapalooza now.
 
 Oh well, I've pretty much seen all the bands I want to anyway. I'm just bummed that I'll be missing Os Mutantes. And I also wanted to see Silver Joos again...

[tigersscareme]

os mutantes?
 fuck yes.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

As much as I hate pitchfork, I'll take that lineup over Lolapalooza or Virgin Festival lineups.
 
 And if I remember correctly, the cost was only a small fraction of the other two.

Yeah, I think this is the best lineup out of all the festivals this year. Well, this one or Sasquatch.
 
 Tix were only $30 for two days.

I thought it was a great festival.
 
 Art Brut took home the blue ribbon.
