Pitchfork Music Festival Needs Your Help

The Chainlink is partnering with The Chicago Reader to offer free bike valet at Pitchfork Music Festival Friday, July 13 through Sunday, July 15th.
 
We are looking for a few volunteers to work at the valet in exchange for a cool Reader Bike Village t-shirt and free day pass to the festival.
 
 
Duties include (when not enjoying the music inside the festival grounds) : help watch bicycles and chat about local bike resources and events.
 
Email gcook@chicagoreader.com with your time slot preferences.
 
Time slots to volunteer include:
 
Friday 2-10 PM (time is flexible) - 7 slots
Saturday AM 11:30 - 4:30 PM - 7 slots
Saturday PM 4:30 - 10:00 PM - 7 slots
Sunday AM 11:30 - 4:30 PM - 7 slots
Sunday PM 4:30 - 10:00 PM - 7 slots

Well, that's weird-- thought I could use the day pass for Sunday but they said I can only use it for Saturday.  Not much use to it for the couple hours before my volunteer shift, and wasn't really wanting to spend a whole day there. Didn't work like that in the past.  Oh well. . . .

they still need folks for Friday and Saturday.

h' -  you can only use the pass for the day or days you volunteer.  So if you are volunteering sunday you won't get free admission saturday unless you are signed up to volunteer for both days.

There may very well be an opportunity during your shift to take a 30 min or longer break to go in the fest as well.

I think almost all the spots have been filled so if you are interested, email Ginny sooner than later.

Serge,

We will make sure Ginny responds to everyone.  She may just be behind on getting back.

My comment on Friday was that most of the spots were filled, not all.

May be I'm just old fashioned to expect at least a courtesy of an answer, if not personally to my e-mail, then here on the Chainlink.

Something like, "Thank you all who offered help. Sorry I can't reply to every one."

As some (or even many) of you know, I volunteer my time to a lot of events, not expecting anything in return . . . except, perhaps, a thank you.

FU, gcook.

Thanks. Ginny said they have received tons of requets even this morning and are sifting through them.

We're all full! Thanks for the interest and enthusiasm!

Bummer ... I just got an email that they had some last minute restrictions on staff so my help won't be needed. They did offer some free tickets to other events for the trouble. Oh well!
