    Wu Tang was one of, if not the best set that weekend. To have everyone in the group still living and super into it made it so entertaining. I planned on watching a little bit before going over to Streetlight and ended up watching the whole set.

    I tried running back and fourth between WU and Streetlight.
    That crowd was massive

    Yeah, the second At the Drive In finished up, I ran over to Wu-Tang and their crowd was huge. Their set was so sick, but I'm bummed I had to miss Streetlight because of it too. I feel like I'll never see that band.

    It's ok if you missed Streetlight

    They were my first favorite band and still one of my all time favs and that was easily my least favorite time seeing them

    Definitely should have watched Wu Tang

    I was with another person standing on the fringe of the crowd in the back and during the first song we just looked at each other and were like, "we're staying here". We pretty much just slowly worked our way up between songs. By the end we were in front of the sound booth and pretty close to the action. Really fun experience.

    Did they sound off, or low energy?

    Just not my favorite setlist and the crowd was kinda meh. They were great as always

    They played basically all of Somewhere In The Between because they were doing the 10 year tour of the album (I already didn't care for that since they normally play the whole album besides 1-2 anyway) but then they didn't even end up playing the whole thing which was annoying and played A Moment Of Silence/Violence and The Three Of Us

    Same. I'm wondering if one of them will be the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. They could easily be a Lolla band, but... They would fit Riot too, and where they'd be a second line on Lolla they could be an end of dayyer at Riot Fest. Which can probably make a difference.

    But part of me is also feeling like... Most years, I haven't been able to predict who the top three are. And at least one of them is usually a band I hadn't even thought of.

    So. We'll see, I guess. Haha.

    I could see N.E.R.D. closing a side stage, like Wu-Tang did this year. Same with Run the Jewels.

    He wrenches on it. He thinks it's his.

    Riot Fest just tweeted about MCR-inspired pizzas.

    Probably nothing. But that also depends on how believable Warped Tour's tweeter is. Hah.

    What does that have to do with it? Did warped say something about this?

    They favorited my tweet telling them that they should have Green Day play as a protest to the NRA. They've been tweeting about the crazy NRA lady (idk or care about her name) and her apparent hatred of Green Day because they're not punk. I wouldn't put too much weight in it, but it's food for thought.

    The 2nd version of that fest was absolutely dope w/ Bayside and the Menz but the actual beer portion was a shitshow. Wonder if they've streamlined it since then.

    are we still lucky to be here? Prestigious

    I may actually have to go to fucking Tinley Park for that one. Great line-up even if their beer is mediocre as sin.

    If Riot Fest wasn't literally two weeks after that, I'd definitely make the trip down. I just can't justify two trips in that short of a time.

    Is it exclusively 350 beer now? When I went there were dozens of Chicago-area breweries there

    pitchfork lineup is coming tomorrow, at least headliners, so that'll narrow some stuff down soon
