My legs hurt. My head hurts. My pants are spattered with fake blood (damn zombies). But I did the 2009 Chiditarod.

Pitchfork Sunday: Les Savy Fav and Cut Copy bring the energy
Pitchfork Music Festival Blog – Posted 1 year ago
OK, so I might have been wrong yesterday when I said !!!'s lead singer Nic Offer could be the most entertaining frontman around. After witnessing my first Les Savy Fav show Sunday afternoon, I think Tim Harrington, the bald-headed, beer-bellied wild man who fronts this legendary punk band, takes the cake.

Pitchfork Saturday: Animal Collective, !!!
Pitchfork Music Festival Blog – Posted 1 year ago
I always have such high ambitions heading into festivals. I plan on maximizing my time and catching as many bands as possible. But for some reason, it never quite works out like that. Factor in the heat, the need for a little downtime, bathroom breaks, food and beer runs, and my day didn’t go quite as planned.

Fork Fashion: Style You'll Eat Up With A Spoon
Pitchfork Music Festival Blog – Posted 1 year ago
In my estimation, Pitchfork is the ultimate fashion show. It brings out all the alternatively-inclined, and they’re all dressed to impress. Or, um, not to impress per se… because no one actually thought about what they were going to wear, right? Or so Pitchfork-goers would have you think. The trick is to look insanely trendy, while still retaining the air of someone who threw on whatever happened to be lying on their floor—which would only be feasible if said floor fed directly into a vast whimsy pit chock full o’ quirky vintage threads.

Pitchfork reveals set times
All bike rides should be naked
Getting Strange – Posted 1 year ago
My mom will be happy when she finds out I wore my bicycle helmet. She probably won't be so happy when she finds out I didn't wear pants.
I went to the Chicago leg of the World Naked Bike Ride, folks. And I had a blast.
