Bits and Pieces: Pitchfork Music Festival, sample sales, just straight-up sales!
+ The 2008 Pitchfork Music Festival is this weekend in Chicago, IL! Union Park, to be exact, and yours truly will be there and hopefully I'll have enough batteries in my camera to take some decent snaps. The lineup this year is especially stellar: nostalgists get Fridays, where artists like Mission of Burma, Sebadoh and Public Enemy perform their masterworks in their entirety. Saturday I'm hoping to catch Fleet Foxes, !!! and thereafter perfect my ability to be in two places at once when No Age and Jarvis Cocker perform at nearly the same time. Sunday theoretically I'd like to see High Places, Boris and Spiritualized, but I'll be lucky to be alive at that point. (Kat)
+ Sample sale fiends (and I know quite a few people who furnish their wardrobes entirely through this technique) will want to plot the Elizabeth & James/LaROK sample sale on their map. Details: 145 West 18th Street, August 5th - 7th, Tuesday: 8am - 8pm, Wednesday and Thursday: 10am - 8pm. Up to 75% off retail prices. Payment accepted: MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover. Check out Savvy NYC for more sample sales and details.
+ One of my favorite shopping/browsing sites, Le Train Bleu, has added an additional 20% off on sale items. It doesn't quite help when I'm "inspiration shopping" the wares by my new sartorial love, Thurley, but a girl can dream... (Kat)

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)
Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."
Umm, Spiritualized and Jarvis Cocker at the same place at the same time? I think my mind would actually, quite literally blow up from all of the magnificence. I am too jealous right now.
P.S. Love the eBay find. I'm seriously considering giving away even more of my money to eBay to have it.
