yeah the pricing is brutal, pitchfork definitely isn’t a nonprofit. my “dream lineup” was like $375, i ended up closer to $200 for 6 add-ons across two days. if you’re going for one act the pricing is totally insane; if you’re going for several in a day the price gets closer to being reasonable.

i’m trying to to be too cynical about it - getting to see the other installations (visible cloaks hasn’t done anything in chicago in many moons) and just perusing the museum when i’m not at shows should make it worthwhile.

for sure, i’m still digesting the format and deciding whether or not it’s going to be something i want to engage in and support. i’m not familiar with any of the base ticket artists but a friend mentioned familiarity and fondness of several so i should do some homework and see if they might be interesting to me as well.

Yeah I’m having trouble coming to grips with the same. I’d love to see slow dive, but I’m too much of a casual to really know who in the base ticket price I’d want to see. OTOH you do get to hang out in the art institute and it’s probably worth it just to check out some of the installations (like what barnjazz was saying).

Pricey but such a great line up and such a great space. I’m geeked over so many of these acts

happy new year! i saw some people in the 2019 goals thread mention they wanted to meet more chicago folks, so opening things up to say hi friends.

not sure if anyone has any shows they’re lookin to go to in the next month or so, but i’m planning on going to the frankie knuckles event at smartbar on the 20th (i have the 21st off, the rare chance that my old withered body can actually go out and have fun at queen!).

i can’t completely commit, but i’m gonna try and make it out to humboldt to check out the openspace @andrew is hosting!
