no Intonation Festival this year
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.
