I hope so! Having all of the stages with their own space was so nice. I preferred it over the side by side main stage. I also liked the Radical stage on the soccer field. I wondernif that cover on the field kept the field from receiving as much damage.
That was before Placebo pulled out and they are probably waiting to announce both replacements I sure hope it's by Friday though
I still really enjoy their mid-late 90’s outputs. I’d go as far as to say that Transistor is one of my favorite albums. Of course, there might be a nostalgic factor since I was obsessed with them in high school, but eh
Hello, daily meteorology check, this time with maps. If you like maps, data and probabilities - look no further. Looks like lower 80's is a good bet for high temperatures. Still some model spread which is expected at this range, but overall they are starting to settle in. The precipitation signal is generally quiet, but I've noticed a few models starting to show some afternoon thunderstorms on Saturday. There's a very broad signal for lower pressure in the area that day, which usually tells me to be on the lookout for some unsettled conditions. We will see. Tl;dr: The weather looks mostly good. Slightly warm but nothing overly crazy. Watching Saturday for some storms. Now to get Riot Fest to hire me.
Hey chicago fam or experienced tourists, decided i might try and hit a few random touristy things on thursday. mainly in the 1-of+a-kind/macabre/sillyarea - tell me what is and isnt worth the time or money, and suggestions of anything i missed: -the violet hour (for drinks) -torture museum -wizard of oz park -wooly mammoth antiques & oddities -wicker park secret agent supply -museum of surgical science -anything with animals, though ive done Shedd already.
Boosted! Definitely feel better about flying there now, will for sure still wear a mask but it’s nice to have the added layer of protection
I used to live by the Wizard of Oz park and I would say its not worth it. Its just a park with like 4 statues of the characters.
I might bring a mask just for the stage with the sandy pit. Last year there was so much dirt in the air during The Bled and State Champs that I felt sick afterwards for like a week.
I am planning on going to the fest Friday and staying to catch MCR and then going to Metro to see SDRE and The Appleseed Cast. Where is the best/easiest/most convenient spot to get an Uber after the fest?
Good for them! They opened for the Manchester Orchestra for a Lolla aftershow, and now this. V v excited for them.
Why not tomorrow? They've had a few Friday announcements the last few years. Somebody should prod them with a "You said announcements were coming this week; where are they?" tweet. If they respond to say "It's still this week" we can bank on it coming today or tomorrow hah.
i think at the top of the hour between 11am-3pm CST are our best bets for today. if not, i think it's tomorrow. time to turn on twitter notifications for the RF account...
