Intonation Party Madness

Not sure which one is the "official" official Intonation kick-off, but there appears to be two festival-sanctioned pre-parties tonight. The Intonation website touts that the party tonight is at Funky Buddha. No bands are promised to be stopping by, nor are there any DJs listed, but there will be no cover and free booze courtesy of Sparks and Goose Island 312. While no mention of it appears on the Intonation website, SmartBar is touting that they have "The Official Intonation Festvial Pre-Party" with DJ sets by MSTRKFT and actual Intonation performer Chromeo. Perhaps more promising than either of these, however, is the decidedly unofficial "Rocket USA" party at Dark Room:

Then on Saturday, don't wash your hands after the festival because that stamp is going to come in handy: But, of course, there's even more post-party action going on Saturday night...

The official Vice post-party will be at Sonotheque and will feature guest appearances from members of Chromeo, Panthers, Tyrades and others. And over at the Beat Kitchen, Chicago Innerview is hosting an Intonation post-party with Danish rockers The Figurines. I'm sure there are countless other smaller shindigs...so be sure to drop any hot tips in the comments section.
