So, I close out another year of Pitchfork Music festival and what a festival it was! Amazing music, good friends, good food (and drink), wonderfully run festival, and perfect weather. I got a chance to see old friends and make new ones. I met a Telletubby, a few aliens, a serial-barrier-jumper, a gorilla, a jedi-rabbit, lots of musicians, and many *ahem* happy people.
Each year the festival gets better and better, both musically and in terms of organization and everything that happens on the backside. This year was utterly fantastic. It’s so nice to work a festival that is staffed by such great individuals. It makes it all the more fun to go to work. It wasn’t until an afterparty on Sunday that I realized how utterly exhausted I was. Three days of walking, standing, climbing, crouching, kneeling, lifting, carrying, lugging, bending, and dancing (we can’t forget the dancing) coupled with very little sleep, had taken it’s toll on my body and my legs felt like heavy weights and my shoulders & arms were aching. So, I popped a few ibuprophen, got a couple hours sleep, and am looking forward to Pitchfork 2010.
Stay tuned for a more thorough recap and photos in a week or so.
