The Pitchfork Music Festival, held in Chicago’s exceptionally lovely Union Park, was this weekend’s other weekend-long rock marathon–and it was an exceptionally well-run collection of ‘Fork-approved artists, sunshine, and opportunities to buy actual records. You can read about Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich busting out “Trigger Cut” and the heroic reception that Of Montreal garnered in lots of other places, but I had a more pressing question: What do fans of the site look like when they’re AFK? I grabbed photographer/former Idolator guestblogger MTS and we ventured into the crowd.
Great photos, of course! The mist tent flashbacks I just had aren’t comfortable ones, though.
AFK means what?
@Aquemini: away from keyboard.
chicago missed connections, result = pitchfork
It means “Maura is kicking it old-school on the Internets.”
Maura, did you check out Flatstock 13 while you were there?
