Still don’t have tickets to the Pitchfork Music Festival? With only two days to go, you might think that at this point your chances are shot. (And if you want a multiday pass or Saturday tickets, you’d be right.) But we’re giving you one more last-minute chance to see the whole thing.
Thanks to the good people at eMusic, we have three three-day VIP passes to give away! That means you can hang in the VIP area (away from the massive crowds), drink free beer, and see bands from a small platform right by the side of the stage. So how can you get these passes?
For this week’s B Side, we’ve got a Where’s Waldo?-style cover illustrated by Jason Wyatt Frederick. But the characters that Jason drew aren’t all anonymous—the illustration is filled with notable Chicagoans (from the music scene and elsewhere), the occasional Pitchfork act, and other recognizable folks.
The three readers who correctly identify the most people on the B Side cover (there are 35 total) win VIP passes to all three days of the festival. So hurry up and send your answers, along with your full name, to pitchfork@chicagoreader.com for your chance to see a bunch of great music without having to spend a cent. Deadline is 9 AM tomorrow—that’s Thursday, July 12.
Full, high-resolution cover after the jump.
