At the Pitchfork Music Festival the VIP pass is good for two things and two things only: FREE beer and Chipotle burritos. Sure you get to hobknob with the indie rock cool crowd and hi-5 the Ice Cream man, but nothing beats the taste of a nice wheat 312 or a filling burrito on a hot (rainy) summer day. So when some pals fell short we had to get crafty …really crafty. Thank God for the rain. Whi.

My buddy who works at Letterman warned me about the Hold Steady's sketch on the late show a few days back. Yesterday when all the blogs made the rounds reporting on the Andy Kindler funny spot I scoured YouTube but to no avail. Only the actual performance was up.

I was just hanging around the inter-sphere and just now I got an email notification of The Hold Steady's tour.If you've been under a rock (or haven't been getting your MOG-notifications), you may not be aware of how incredible this band is, especially live.

Each girl was called up and the parents went up and hugged their daughter and was given a blue and a white carnation (the east lansing trojan colors). As we hugged I said, I am missing my concert for this--jokingly and everybody ...
