I think the food at pfork is actually fine and there are lots of places to decompress/chill/people-watch. You’ll have fun.

I've attended since 2008 and agree that what you'll most need is shade. And the food in GA is actually better than in VIP.

Sounds like a good day for a hat.

Pretty sure I have guest/VIP this year, so I'll be popping in and out as life allows, but I'll be sure to be there for a hunk of Sunday to say hi! Weather right now looks overcast and not too warm over the weekend, which is actually great for the fest.

were you at The National?

For a minute, but I was watching from the crowd. I'll be there today between 4 and 8:30. Maybe I'll wear a Mellotron t-shirt.

I love that some of you were able to connect!

A famous blue raincoat?
I'll be on site for most of it tomorrow, somewhat subject to the whims of my son. (He's excited for it but he can also get overwhelmed in crowds, so we may leave for a break at some point.) Alfred and I have traded contact info, so hopefully some of us can meet somewhere!

Japanese Breakfast (and Tweedy) made for a good summer-night livestream.

Hope to see some (more) of you today. I will be wearing a yellow Detroit Yacht Club T-shirt.

Great to see Josh again after all these years!

I'm in a black windbreaker, which I'm sure will make me stand out easily. :)

What a cool, chill festival. Great to meet Alfred and Josh in person after all these years of ILXing! We talked about music and politics and basically just had extended IRL ILX threads. Josh also flexed his VIP status to get me a free beer, which was awesome. Musicwise, really enjoyed Pink Siifu, Injury Reserve, Natural Information Society and especially Xenia Rubinos. My son got on the rail for Earl Sweatshirt and loved it, I kept farther back but it seemed like a good set. I liked the size and scale of the whole thing, big enough to feel like a real-deal festival but small enough to move around easily. Helped by a nicely overcast day, not too hampered by a short rain shower before Earl's set. I told my son that I'll be happy to come back if there's stuff he wants to see next year.

What a blast. Great to meet/see everyone, and glad to hear you all had a good time.

love you both
