Pitchfork Music Festival Pictures - Day One

By Timmy Watson in Arts & Entertainment on Jul 14, 2007 3:42PM

The air couldn't have felt better in Union Park for the first day of the Pitchfork Music Festival. The format of not having bands play all day the first day was perfect, it's nice to see the headliners sans really full porto-o-potties and there were far less people passed out for you to trip on. Seriously, those people are like land mines. Anyway, we will, of course, be bringing you in depth coverage and reviews of Pitchfork. But, here we thought we would give you a little eye candy. Here are some photos from Day 1.
