Good afternoon, faithful readers, and welcome to the Citizen's Pitchfork blog!
Jacob Nelson here, on my way out to what is sure to be a great weekend of music, hipsters and rain. Pitchfork Music Festival, the three day concert held at Chicago's Union Park, begins tonight, and the Windy Citizen will be there reporting back to you sad suckers who thought for some crazy reason you'd rather do something else than stand beneath ominous rain clouds, trying to get the best view of skinny-jean sporting rockstars.
Joining me as I spend the next 72 hours listening to music and then running back to you to brag about it (or complain about it, depending on how tall the people are that stand in front of me), will be:
- The Citizen's live music blogger Jim Collins, who will be reviewing some of the key Pitchfork performances.
- Brenna Ehrlich will be contributing fashion reviews as well, and we can only hope she doesn't get mauled by the indie crowd after day one and burnt at the stake.
So long as clove cigarettes aren't allowed, we can at least rest assured most people won't even have their lighters.
And if you're really, really curious about how Pitchfork and the Windy Citizen are getting along, follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/pitchforkblog. If you haven't memorized the link by the end of the weekend, then you haven't been doing your job.
More to come as the festival begins! Keep checking back.

He recently read Norwegian Wood by Murakami, which he would like to recommend to everyone. He's also looking forward to his first summer in Chicago, and hopes it's as fun as everyone says. More
