They did them last night at Four Chord Fest so you should be good! Would be sick to see Bored to Death with Skiba again in Chicago too but doubt they’ll do that..

Just realized I only need to somehow see them play Every Time I Look For You and I will have heard all of TOYPAJ live now. edit: shut the fuck up I said (to myself), I made a mistake and forgot about Shut Up

You can't trust a Chicago forecast until a day or two out.

I forgot weather was even a thing until you said this.

To your point, the forecasts I've seen had zero rain. But today that shifted to rain/thunder in the AM with showers on Friday. Then "periods of rain" on Saturday. With a few showers on Sunday afternoon. It all feels chaotic and, yeah, probably gonna be very different by later this week. Gonna be packing ponchos, regardless!

Always a bit of a fools errand checking the weather a week out… Sunday could be dicey.

fun is the best way to describe it. Not good or great. Just fun. Super fun.

And it sounds exactly like you’d think it does given that (AWOLNATION trying to sound like Deftones or Snapcase but still mostly just sounding like AWOLNATION with screaming and nu-metal parts). It’s a fun, fun record and from what I’ve seen they put on a great live show.

Barbarians of CA had one of the best crowd responses I’ve seen from any opening band at the Deftones show last night, you could tell they won a shit ton of people over, check them out Friday if you can

I still remember at my first Riot Fest in 2012, my buddy had won a giant stuffed hamster earlier in the day from one of the vendors and disappeared during Gogol Bordello's set. My partner and I weren't sure where he went and had a mild panic attack about it. Five minutes later we both received a video via text of him riding the ferris wheel with the stuffed hamster and Gogol playing in the background. Haha. But other than that I've pretty much steered clear of the rides and fenway games in all contexts. Not that I don't like ferris wheels or throwing balls at things... I'm just usually so loaded up on music that it's not worth the time.

Are they not charging for rides anymore? I rode the ferris wheel at the Thursday pre-party they did in 2021 because it was free that day, but I never wanted to spend money on it otherwise.

Harrison Gordon’s secret set at Fauxchella this year was insane. Someone had to get on the mic before the set started and beg people not to destroy the venue when it started. It was a floor show to probably 400 people in about 150 square feet of space lmao. it was very whelming. Had some kinda cool and different stuff- but overall I’d much rather have seen that space be used for the rebel stage and that money go back into the lineup. Obviously early promises like “the largest festival bar of all time” “a fully licensed casino” and “a fully functional mall” never materialized lmao

i think there was a Delorian randomly parked over there too. I really liked it for the 1/2 hour i spent over there, but its really only worth spending considerable time in if you have a long gap, or just want to do a quick run through to say you saw it. I do remember thinking it looked really cool at night with all the lights.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think blink may only have an hour and 15 minutes at Four Chord. So they may have to cut songs due to the shorter set, which shouldn’t be an issue at riot fest.

Gonna be on the lookout for the Four Chord setlists over the weekend. Excited to see what the current Blink-182, Jawbreaker, and Wonder Years set lists look like! (Okay, look, I think I'm mostly excited to see if Blink switches up a song or two.)
