Thanks to
Any Such Name for reminding us that these days, every major event leaves a trail of Craigslist ads in its wake; the Pitchfork Music Festival isn't an exception, and the
ads we've found so far have been as communicative as you'd expect indie rockers to be. For example, there's this ad from a woman looking for a man: "I didn't attend the festival I just live in the neighborhood. I wanted to say hello but as always I'm shy." So shy, in fact, that she won't provide any details about herself or the person she's looking for! Perhaps the person who posted this ad is her Mr. Right: "we miss each other on purpose ... you know how dumb that is?" Or maybe he isn't, since he could actually be a she—or maybe even a leftover ice-cream treat that somehow became sentient through the power of Yoko Ono's music. It's phenomena like these that make it hard to
not love the Internet, don't you think?

The free tickets for Bon Jovi's show in New York's Central Park this Saturday are all gone, but scalpers have rushed in to fill the void, with reports saying that resale prices are now ranging from 99 cents to $1,500. (The tickets are allegedly marked "not for resale," but you can't stop people who think they were born to be Jon's baby to pay for the privilege of seeing him.) The top-tier tickets noted by the Associated Press are seemingly gone from eBay—the highest bid right now is a comparably paltry $75/blanket space—while Craigslist's prices seem a little bit more sane, with some people even offering straight-up trades for other shows... and Yankees games.
