Posted in music on June 6, 2007
It just occured to me, so I looked it up and found this:
The Chicago Sun-Times reported on April 6th that the festival would not be continuing for what would have been its third year. "'We looked at what was happening this summer, and the festival crowds of Chicago are being well served at this point,' Intonation spokesman David Singer said, citing competition from the Pitchfork Music Festival in Union Park on July 13-15, Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival at Toyota Park on July 28, Lollapalooza in Grant Park on Aug. 3-5 and the combination of the Hideout Block Party and Metro's 25th anniversary celebration at Elston and Wabansia on Sept. 7-9.

I'd never have thought I'd say this, but sometimes I wish I lived in Chicago.

i'd rather have awesome free shows (NYC) for the entire summer than crazy large festivals that last 3 days.
Posted by jason | June 6, 2007 8:34 PM
awesome free shows exist in chicago too . . . check any of the street festivals going on every weekend, taste of chicago, bluesfest, jazzfest, metro's 25th etc.

wow pitchfork actually killed Intonation....sad
Posted by nolte | June 7, 2007 8:53 AM
I went to both pitchfork and intonation last year and it was night and day. Intonation probably didn't have more than 8,000 people (per day) attend, while pitchfork had a little under 20,000.
Also, hilariously enough, what started the split from the pitchfork intonation festival to the pitchfork AND intonation festival was an arguement the curators had over the price of bottled water.
Posted by Dan | June 7, 2007 9:27 AM
who wanted to sell the water cheaper?

Mike, as someone who was born and raised in Chicago (and now lives in Brooklyn), I can promise you that you do not want to live there. No matter how many festivals there are. That town is weak.

Dear Intonation Festival Organizers,
Chicago is a wonderful city with great people, food, and music. However, apparently someone needs to point out to you that CHICAGO IS NOT THE ONLY FUCKING CITY ON THE MAP! Sure, there's tons of festivals there this summer, so try someplace else...atlanta doesn't have a decent festival.
and pitchfork water was only $1.00 last year.
