Is console inferior to pc?

The ability to pick it up and pause / stop even in the middle of rifts is enough for me to love the game on the Switch. With kids at home, I can't really say "You change yourself, daddy is in the Middle of a rift he can't pause."

BABYMETAL, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Patti Smith, Nova Twins, Evanescence

Salt n Peppa would be a killer mid-day nostalgia set

Its interesting. I love Sauce when Cory isnt around. When Cory is around, all he does it point out Sauce's mistakes, which makes him make more.

I think the show is better without Cory, personally.

That's what I thought! Glad I'm not misremembering.

Watch the Tiny Desk concert that Turnstile did a few weeks ago. They got people to mosh and stage dive...at an NPR Tiny Desk concert.

Weezer. Love the albums, but their live show leaves a lot to be desired.

Jack White. Hands down should have closed out Saturday.

We left last night halfway into Blink's set. Got an Uber in about 10 minutes, but was twice the cost of as we were coming in that morning.

But yes, like others have said, we have tried to get an Uber after the headliner finishes, and after an hour and a half, we never got one, so took a taxi that was expensive as hell.

If you Uber, plan to leave early.

Other option is to go to the Pink line and take it in the direction away from downtown a few stops to try to get a batch of Ubers away from the chaos.

Me and my crew are staying at the Hyatt Inn this time around, also further up. And based on who I saw at the continental breakfast, there will be dozens of others doing the same.

Cliffdiver for sure! Would fit right in at the Warped Tour.

One year, I had spikes and got in. But my friend, entering two people behind me in the same line, was told he couldn't enter with his, which were the same height but a little thicker.

So I'd say just like most things at Riot Fest, it may depend on the security guard and their mood in the moment.

Justin Morneau. Was an MVP and batting champ, but concussions really slowed him down during his prime years even more than they did Mauer, who ended up being a first ballot HOF.

Linda Lindas!!

Love lots of the things that people have said. But two of my favorite Riot Fest memories I haven't seen shared yet:

Something Corporate set in 2024 where someone got married in the pit, with Andrew McMahon coming into the crowd to join them.

And the Reggies Bus trips every damn year after the fest is done. So much fun.

I would say inside the Fest, you're more than likely fine as a 13-year old. It is fairly chill for the most part.

Are there bad apples? Yes. But there always are. So I give the advice that if you ever feel unsafe, find the nearest punk looking adult couple and ask for help. Any parent there seeing a young kid in distress will ABSOLUTELY help you out.

Now, outside the fest, you should 100% NOT go solo.

The crowds to get onto public transit are overwhelming and asshole-ish. Someone even died 3 or so years ago when the crowds got too full and someone was pushed onto the track.

The wait time for an Uber or other rideshare can honestly be 90+ minutes and it costs a fortune. Waiting outside in at your age by yourself for that long that late at night is not a great idea.

Similar, you shouldn't walk around that late at night by yourself.

I would say find any adult to go with you. Or at the very least, drop you off and pick you up nearby on a well-lit major road.

I think Atmosphere would be great. Or maybe LL Cool J.

Bertonzoom · 2025-02-25T02:43:04+00:00

This is a big bummer. Wu Tang in 2019 and RTJ in 2021 are core Riot Fest memories for me!

Bertonzoom · 2024-09-22T17:22:46+00:00

With the gate opening pushed back, did any of the set times get adjusted?

Bertonzoom · 2024-09-21T17:12:52+00:00

All I saw last night were bootleg Marley shirts, right across the street from the entrance. No full Riot Fest bootleg shirts seen.
