Meltdown At Pitchfork

  The day before Protomartyr played at Schubas, I had a meltdown at the Pitchfork Music Festival.



  I had a ticket to see Ex Hex at the Bottle that night but was too thrown by what had happened earlier to want to leave the house. Protomartyr was to play the next day at the festival, then go across town to Schubas. I made myself go back outside to see them.



  When I got home, I scanned the sketches and uploaded them to my website. Then I looked up the bands’ websites and emailed them their drawings. After a decade, starting with MySpace around 2005, there would be no common area for me to share this work anymore. I would now have to address each and every subject of my sketches personally if I wanted them to look.
