sweet. see ya at Pitchfork.
I'm definitely heading to Pitchfork and am sort of on the fence about Intonation. But probably not Lallapalooza--it's gonna be a mob scene of kids.
probably the best lallapalooza lineup i've seen...mainly because of the chili peppers, but ryan adams, sonic youth, the shins...gonna be great
