Experiences, observations of a Cajun living in NYC
Kerry and I did not get close to the stage for many shows on Saturday at Coachella. I blame the flank steak.
Hence, I did not take many good photos. It did not help either that I did not charge my camera beyond 50 percent of its battery.
Maybe this is a good thing because after I posted My Coachella Friday photo recap I accidentally shut down my site by exceeding bandwidth. Womp womp womp!

NOTE: This is the first of a three-part series chronicling my Pitchfork Music Festival experience. Check back for more info on Saturday and Sunday’s performances later today and Wednesday.
Two days before flying to Chicago last week I watched “Horrible Bosses”, a comedy about a trio of friends who conspired to kill their asshole bosses. I went into the movie theater with ground level expectations. To my chagrin, the movie sucked more than I expected.
The same could be said for my feelings toward the first day of Pitchfork Music Festival. I started with low expectations. Yet I still came away underwhelmed.
Aside from tUnE-yArDs (and EMA to a lesser extent), most of the bands I witnessed Friday possessed little redeeming value. My time would have been better spent exploring downtown Chicago than attending Pitchfork’s opening day. Thankfully the festival’s final two days made up for Friday’s lackluster opening, but I will get into this more later.
I am a 27-year-old journalist living in NYC. Prior to that I lived in south Louisiana and Portland. I blog about music, New Orleans Saints and LSU football, and what it's like to be a Cajun living in the fast-paced world of NYC.
