saw some great stuff including Lou Barlow solo and covering Smog's "A Hit," a great brave-the-elements set by She & Him outdoors Saturday night, 38 degrees and windy, some excellent Memphis-style punk rock courtesy River City Tanlines, and a positively joyous set by Chuck Prophet at Yard Dog, which included two Chilton covers and a great version of "For You". the sun came out at one point and everyone started cheering in the middle of the song...

here's some links to Chunk-related relating of the proceedings...
