BLACK FAUST

CHICAGO _ The rarely seen and elusive black Faust was spotted at the uber-hipster mecca of band snobbery, Pitchfork Music Festival in Union Square last weekend.

       Black Faust, wearing his trademark life source bracelet from the planet of Endor, also donned knee-high rain boots despite clear skies, a hat reminiscent of the 4-Non Blondes and a pair of macro-made polyester shorts. He also sipped Earl Grey tea infused with a tickle of gin and lemon zest, known as a "Meantini."

       "Every heard of it?" He asked as he slurped the last few drops of it from a silly straw. "Didn't think so."

       The black Faust, not to be confused with his white SXSW Passion Pit starved Texas doppleganger, was haughty and aloof when asked which band he was most excited to see.
       "I'd tell you," he said. "But I'm sure you've never heard of them."
       Black Faust was seen later in the day pretending to know most of the lyrics to the Sleigh Bells hit "Comeback Kid," before skipping off with the rest of his "beaucoup d'amis," as he refers to his group of non-French friends, to catch Atlas Sound's hit which he called "Walkaround."

       "It's Walkabout," his friend Kiblet corrected.
       Black Faust then looked at him, spit on his leggings and said, "You're out, Kibshit."
       When leaving the park Saturday night, Black Faust was asked if he'd be back for the festival's close on Sunday.
       "Are you freaking kidding me?" He asked. "Gawd no. Vampire Weekend is opening. What is this, 2010?"
       He added that he also had to work the 1-9pm shift at Walgreen's the next day.
