Riot Fest 2022 (September 16-18, Chicago IL) Festival • Page 214

Cliffdiver, Jeff Rosenstock, and Rocket from the Crypt. (Not that Jeff will be playing much sax during the set, if any; I'm still gonna count it. Haha.)

 

Metro just sent an email out about it. JEW sold out too it would seem.

 

foxy shazam has a dedicated trumpet player!

 

I'm so unbelievably excited for Foxy. Not even a favorite band of mine, but excited to see Eric do his thing.

 

same, even with tickets to see them in early october, they are still top 3 of the weekend for me.

 

Fuck yeah! Got my JEW ticket

Edit: Damn, now it means that I have to take the car to the fest on Saturday and find parking and all that

 

Then that makes four!

 

I usually drink nothing but water at festivals but I'd try the non-alcoholic cherry one, I guess.

 

I love that it tastes terrible!

Working out the routing of my group's top-priority acts for each day and I'm still very very happy!

There are definitely some Radical-to-Rebel and Roots-to-Rebel problems, like --
- Leaving Cliffdiver extra-early to catch enough Lucky Boys Confusion starting, because we're already leaving that early for Foxy Shazam
- Basically can't see any Jeff Rosenstock if you're trying to see Bob Vylan (I continue to be so happy we have Ska Dream tickets)
- Leaving Destroy Boys very early to catch the start of The Wonder Years

But nothing we can't live with

 

I can’t wait to drink way too many of the 8%s on Friday and have the worst hangover I’ve ever had.

 

I don't really do alcohol (barely any soda too) but I would definitely try the non-alcoholic one just for the sake of it. A few years ago they were giving away those electrolytes powder mixes and it tasted disgusting.

 

Also, they should sell it at some of the RF promoted events they are running outside of the fest itself.

 

crazy to think i'll be driving to chicago for it this time tomorrow. where does the time go

 

Was just thinking the same. Very excited for the weekend

 

I can’t express how not ready for this after getting home from a 10-day, 3-city, 2-country work trip this morning. I am going to sell my VIP wristband for Sunday, DM me for an offer - can likely meet either after festival on Saturday or Sunday morning

 

Possibly dumb question: Am I not getting the mango seltzer's punny name? Du-mango 95?

 

only thing i can imagine is lyric from the Rob Zombie's Never gonna stop - "I'm on Durango, number 95, Take me to the home, kick boots and ultra live" which is a reference to the car in Clockwork orange i think

 

Thats an fun fact right there. Was curious and I just saw there is also a Ramones song called Durango 95 which is also a reference to a car in A Clockwork Orange, so pretty sure thats the reference they took it from.

 

we'll make it to chicago in time for dinner tomorrow night. any recommendations? we heard giordanos pizza i think it's called is supposed to be good.

 

Pequods is the place to go for deep dish pizza. Might be a good idea to make a reservation on their website.

 

Where are you staying? If you're thinking pizza, Pequod's is my favorite, but there's only one location in the city and they'll be busy. you really can't go wrong with Lou Malnati's tbh. Better than Giordano's or Gino's if you're looking at the chains IMO.
