I'm going to the pitchfork festival this year. After my dissappointment with taste of chaos, i swore off concerts without named bands altogether. Last year it wasn't much of an issue, what with pitchfork, intonation, and lollapalooza all stealing artists from each other, none of them had enough left to fill two days of stages.
This year, since discovering invisible oranges, I'm not as invested in indie rawk. but Pitchfork's got this really cool system going on: I'm volunteering for the festival. Not to for pitchfork, that would be pretty unethical (despite being something most music fans would love to do). I'm volunteering VegChicago, who organize the monthly chicago meetups1. In return for having "members" volunteer for the festival, they get booth space and promotion. Which I think is cool.
