In less than an hour, I’ll pack up my laptop, check my earplug supply, and trek over to Chicago’s Union Park to start the 55 or so hours I’ll spend there this weekend. Lucky for you, they’ve got the whole park rigged up with that there fancy wireless Internet thingamajig, so you can check back here for all of my titillating updates, in real time. Lucky for me, my best friends live a block from the grounds and have kindly offered an air conditioned reprieve whenever I need it…so I should be all set to make it through intact.  I’m planning to check out, in no particular order:

Battles

Stephen Malkmus

Slint

Mastadon

Grizzly Bear

New Pornos

Menomena

Cat Power

Clipse

That’s just my short list…I’m game for anything else I happen across as well, so check back early and often!
