Riot Fest 2023 Tour • Page 153

How apt

 

Yeah, BRRF proved that anything can happen with the weather. I'm bringing in a poncho for Sunday.

2 years ago Coheed was playing with a lightning storm in the background. It was so epic.

 

As cool as that looked, I still can't believe they didn't shut things down until that storm passed.

 

That was truly wild. They had to have been watching that storm suuuuper close to be able to trust it wasn't going to go sidweays. But I'm real glad I got to see that. One of my top 10 favorite concert moments ever.

 

The Fireside Bowl: An unlikely place for punks of all ages

Some fun Chicago punk history to listen to before the fest, even if it fails to mention the brief revival in 2014 when one of my bands played there.

 

Shane Told and Thomas Ian Nichols are the Emo Night Brooklyn 9/15 special guests

 

Funky Butt Lovin'!

 

Merch preview

 

The Aldi logo tote bag hahaha

 

I’m digging the 3 color cats and the goose with knife shirts, haha.

Just got to town And their marketing worked because I saw that video of sincere engineer and some food blog guys eating at local restaurant Aloha Wagon, and I’m definitely getting that for dinner tonight

 

I am completely dead from a multi day work conference on the west coast and do not know how I can do three days of this. I might be getting the massages lol

 

Baffling that Tixr has no Android app. Gonna have to print my tickets out like it's 2013

 

Damn, the weather here was PERFECT today.

 

Weather looks good for the most part. There’s a 60% chance of rain Saturday night into Sunday morning. So as long as it stays away until after the fest ends on Saturday it should be good on Sunday depending on how hard and how much rain we actually get

 

Anyone planning to stay til end of Foos but going to Viagra boys aftershow, I got spots in my car! (Gotta find own way home tho)

 

If the offer for a ride to Thursday/Bride on Saturday still applies, I will take it! I can help with gas money too

 

City doing sewer work caused a bunch of shit (literally) to back up into my kitchen sink. Happy Riot Fest's Eve to you all

 

HH doing a 45 minute set at the Bottom Lounge and JT still does his stupid speeches. 8 songs in 45 minutes and it's probably the same songs they will play tomorrow.

At least Bayside are doing 90 minutes.

 

a buddy and I will be looking to get to this after The Postal Service. Otherwise, it’s hustle for an Uber.

 

I got room for 3. After PS finish, we can meet by the little bleachers between radical and the main food vendor

 

Sounds great! Thank so much!

 

We’re in! I’ll connect with you some time tomorrow and get your info! I’ll also pitch on some gas!

 

Figures, the merch is good the one year I'm not going. Some of those shirts are super sick! My partner would 100% have bought that cat shirt. Anyway...

HAPPY RIOT FEST EVE, EVERYONE! I hope everyone has the best time and the weather holds tight!

 

As if there weren't enough after shows already...

 

Wearing a black Signals Midwest shirt or grey Yellowcard hoodie and a blue Swellers backpack. Say hi if you see me! Here’s my plan for the day.
