Furnace Fest 2023 Tour • Page 20

Looking again and man, some of those conflicts early on Sunday are bad.

 

Little birdie told me the “this isn’t goodbye” may be a start of something new…

 

Meant to ask you cuz I think you might know - is Stephen playing bass for them at FF?

 

Finally got around to checking out MSPAINT and holy.

 

Ridiculously great, right?!

 

Shaaaaare plz

 

See you freaks in less than a week.

 

Same as last year.

 

Recommendations for transportation? I'm staying at the Holiday Inn in Fultondale and was planning on just doing Lyfts each day.

Also would love recommendations on museums or things to do on Thursday (outside of the preshows).

 

It’s extremely easy to get free street parking near the venue (I was within 3-4 blocks each day), if you are driving in. Otherwise, I think Lyft/Uber is the way to go. There’s no public option from what I understand.

I’m at the Hampton Inn in Irondale

 

Sounds good! I'm flying in from Michigan, so Lyft/Uber works.

 

i did it 2 years ago and rented a car, I just parked in the city and then walked like 10 minutes to the site. Shouldn't be too much of a problem doing rideshares in that area. You can always walk a few minutes to the area with the coffee shops and try from there.

 

It's probably best to do your ride share to Ghost Train Brewing and walking a few blocks. They block off a few roads closer to Sloss and I'm sure the drivers find it annoying.

 

Driving down from Buffalo early Thursday and can't wait!

 

Staying at the Microtel in Gardendale. My friend and I have a rental car booked cause we loooooove that freedom, baby

 

Oh shit, Soul Glo is playing a Nu-Metal night after the fest on Saturday at Zydeco

 

Also what are the album plays this year again?

 

Hopesfall - The Satellite Years
Braid - Frame & Canvas
Throwdown - Haymaker (I think? Not 100% sure)
Thursday - War All the Time
Further Seems Forever - How to Start a Fire
Mae - Destination: Beautiful

 

Feel like I should mention it just in case you haven’t gone before, but if you’re a contact wearer, bring your glasses, case, and solution with you all three days. The dust got so bad by the end of each day I had to take mine out Friday and Saturday around 6pm and just straight up wore my glasses on Sunday. They were working on laying more grass, but I have my doubts.

 

Only time I've been to Birmingham was a quick down and back from Nashville for TWY / Letlive / TMP / Microwave so excited to have Friday night to explore a little bit. Got reservations at Automatic and then probably swinging out to Mom's Basement for a nightcap.

 

Flying out of Detroit tonight at 8 PM tonight, looking forward to exploring Birmingham a little tomorrow!

 

dangit, i missed on parking for saturday. what are my options?

 

street parking around sloss. Be mindful of signs, but I’ve had zero issues the past two years.

 

Good call. I always stress about that, but forget how lax bham is with street parking. Also dont mind walking.

See yall there! those of you coming in to bham early, let me know if you need some suggestions of cool things to do.

 

I parked on 1st Ave all three days last year with no problem.
