Riot Fest 2018 - September 14-16 - Douglas Park, Chicago Tour • Page 263

I'm in approximately none of those pictures, but I also hang way the fuck back at festivals (or was watching from the VIP section) so that's not entirely shocking.

Man, I'm really hoping next year's line-up is solid. As much as the line-up (and the performances) felt pretty much "by the numbers" this year? The more I think about it... It was such a blast!

 

I feel like I didn't Riot correctly this year. I got too distracted by friends and stuff who held me back from getting as close as I would've and then I missed a few sets too. Still had a blast, but I wish I would've been in the action a little more. But also if I did that more I probably would've been way more dead after.

 

Baller :D

 

Idk if anyone else kept all their Pedialyte coupons but these are awesome. I’m paying like $2 a bottle.

 

i thanked them every time i went to get water. that setup was 100000x better than the long line to a hose or whatever it used to be in the past

 

That water set up was sooo much better than it has been before.

 

I kept hearing people say they weren't able to find the water stations this year (other than the Pedialyte one)...

Real smart move on Pedialyte's part, and I hope they come back next year.

 

I still have the Riot Flu after a week at this point, anyone else still sick????

 

I'm good, aside from the occasional dust cough.

 

Yes!!

 

My sinuses are fucking killing me, it feels like someone is inside my face and pushing on it. I think the worst is over though

 

Haha my fiancé and I actually had enough and went to the doctor today

 

Yeah the worst is over for me as well, it's just lingering at this point and it's super annoying! I didn't get sick after last year, didn't get so lucky this time.

 

I avoided it this year by some miracle! Just some light coughing and whatnot from a weekend of drinking and dust inhalation but I didn’t get full on sick like normal.

 

I only went in the crowd for K.Flay and Alkaline Trio this year and I was not prepared for the amount of dirt that I was breathing in, it was brutal lol.

 

Were there other water stations outside of the Pedialyte one? I feel like I saw others on the map, but didn't actually see others in person.

 

I just now got sick haha. Riot Fest made be sunburned and sore but not sick. But this weekend the temp dropped hard for like a day and my body broke.

 

FWIW there's a nasty cold going around and I luckily got through it about two days before the festival. Heat and dirt absolutely aren't helping things, but I think a lot of us would have gotten sick whether we went to Riot Fest or not.

 

There was at least one other. As you were walking over to the Rebel Stage, it was off to the right... Just after the beer/before the porta-potties.

 

I never saw them advertised. Maybe I missed it? I never got an email from Pitchfork about it.

 

I've been fighting this cold now for a couple of days. It's rough.

 

There were two pedialyte ones (the big one near the rides, and the little one near the two main stages), but that was all I ever saw.

 

I may also be confusing the "main" water station (where it usually is)... That might have been sponsored by Pedialyte too.

 

The Main one was between the rides and the Rebel stage - that was the only one I knew about until now, haha.

 

So I missed a few pages of the discussion, but did we talk about Bleachers yet?

(Except for the drummers) THEY WEREN'T EVEN PLAYING! They had a background track that included at least the vocals and the bass, even when the guitar player was pretending to play the bass....
