That drive down Roosevelt will suck, take Ogden or 290

I used to live real close to Hillside up until a year ago. Not a bad place and you can easily go on 290 from there if you are driving. It's close to Bellwood and Maywood which can be a bit intimidating to non locals but if you just sleep at a hotel there you should be fine.

Very much suburbs, but it'll be an easy drive in.

my last minute decision i need to make in the next 4-6 hours: sleep on a couch in a room where other people will be possibly walking through, but in walking distance to the park and for real cheap... or book a hotel that will be more money, will require me to drive/park (though confident i know how to get free street parking) but will let me have privacy AND a bed with real pillows... chicago locals - whats the vibe of Hillside? leaning towards a hotel there as its just a long but straight shot on Roosevelt to douglass park. is it still city or cross into the burbs?

Guessing it'll be like the Quik Stop thing where the front will be pretty spot-on and the inside will look nothing like it. Haha. Kind of a cool collab, though, if they pull it off!

MOE'S TAVERN?!?! not calling it a slam dunk, execution will determine that, but the potential is there

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

Riot Land was worth it purely for the animatronic band playing Misfits covers. Anybody remember the name on that?

KindaFatMike replied to the thread Tour Riot Fest 2025.

smoking a joint on the ferris wheel while listening to Mom Jeans. play Death Cup was a perfect 5 minutes a few years ago. i had always wanted to do it during a band i liked, but anytime i got the urge the line was always long, so finally saw a time when i could just walk right on and it was great. i think i did pay for it though.

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.

just the area where rebel used to be had a bunch of non-music, silly, photo OP type stuff: butter stamos sculpture, the arcade, the fake quik stop from clerks where you could actually buy water and stuff, the small riot museum that you could walk through and see relics from the past, the q101 booth was there with a shaded lounge, the big 'RIOTLAND' letters (like the hollywood sign )... curious to see what all makes it back and whats new

KindaFatMike replied to the thread Tour Riot Fest 2025.

always love it (ie- hate it) when you start getting into a new band, and latch onto one song in particular, and then find out they never play it live.. Earthsplitter by Big Ass Truck has been one of my favorite jams all summer but im sure its because its a collab with a The John Candy (who seems to be a Girl Talk-esque sample based dj) and would be hard to pull off live. but if you havent heard it yet, check it out! the Angel of the Morning drop is the best thing ive had in my ears this year, haha

Oh no! Sorry to hear that dude, I'm glad you're alright

KindaFatMike liked alkalinexandy's post in the thread Tour Riot Fest 2025.

Oof, that's rough dude! Glad you're okay and hope you can make it to the festival! I am really loving the Harrison Gordon stuff! So I'm excited to see them and I just saw today they're playing Boston in November so I might hit that up too depending on how much fun I have watching them. Hah. Glad I'm not the only one WRT the Hold Steady. If there was nothing else going on, I'd happily sit and watch the whole thing but I really want to check out Rico Nasty so I'll probably dip after "Your Little Hoodrat Friend" to watch her if I'm being real about it.

my parked car got sideswiped in a hit & run yesterday... another hurdle in the ongoing "will he make it to riotfest" race, haha
