i posted some photos of general chicago goodness, here a select few i shot of the festival in union park, and few other nice ones of chicago at large.

a couple of street musicians in the bucktown/wicker park area.

sunday afternoon at pitchfork. both days found union park filled with people, but the park was really buzzing on sunday. it was really the perfect location for the festival, framed by the sears tower to the north and a fantastic old church to the south.

this was taken at the end of the saturday, and shows what i think is a neatly distorted view of the cool old church that punctuated the south end of the park.

Now some shots of the bands that played -- i'll spare you my personal opinion of the music, suffice to say i had an AWESOME time. Tapes & Tapes opened the festival on sunday.

Danielson followed Tapes & Tapes.

The National also played on Sunday.

another of The National.

Finally, a shot of the lead singer from Mission of Burma.
