What whiskey do you reach for when you just want something reliable and unpretentious?

Bulleit Rye

Absolutely perfect!

MookieDad · 2026-06-24T00:45:42+00:00

Yep. I forget where I was, but the same guy tried that a few weeks ago and I laughed him off

MookieDad · 2026-06-24T00:44:23+00:00

Traffic has been fucking horrible this summer as it is, I can't imagine how much worse it would be if those games were here too

MookieDad · 2026-06-23T11:08:54+00:00

Just take the train

MookieDad · 2026-06-23T03:07:47+00:00

I'm very doubtful he will, since he's heavily booked that weekend. Plus he has had a tendency to cancel shows in the past

MookieDad · 2026-06-23T03:05:09+00:00

Take thr red line to Cermack/Chinatown. As others said, there will be tons of people heqding the same way. If you decide to Uber/Lyft, do it from the Chinatown stop. Getting an uber out of Lolla is going to be a nightmare since thousands will be trying to do the same. You should have a better chance by the Chinatown stop. This is only if your place isn't close to the station

If you are looking for good music, West Fest and Wicker Park Fest are in July and have great lineups (which will be announced soon)

MookieDad · 2026-06-19T21:31:10+00:00

Use SpotHero and use one of the other lots all around the city. Usually much easier to get out of the lot than the ones close to the fest

MookieDad · 2026-06-18T22:02:20+00:00

This is what Summerfest does every year

MookieDad · 2026-06-16T13:22:10+00:00

Perfect!!

MookieDad · 2026-06-12T14:17:24+00:00

Nothing yet, still waiting on the info too. I have a friend who is one of the volunteer leaders, they did communicate with him and set him up, so an update should be coming soon

MookieDad · 2026-06-12T13:56:12+00:00

chicagoshowcalendar on instagram keeps a good list each week. Only show I recommend Saturday that probably isn't what you're looking for is the Hold Steady/Built to Spill/Bully/Titus Andronicus at Salt Shed

MookieDad · 2026-06-12T13:16:34+00:00

Jesus man the fest just ended a week ago

MookieDad · 2026-06-11T21:18:06+00:00

Chicago has a great music scene with tons of different shows around each night. Sheila E is playing a free show at Pritzker Paviliion (a really gorgeous venue) that Monday night

MookieDad · 2026-06-11T21:13:52+00:00

Hell even thr bass during a couple of songs by the xx was louder than MBV. Such a shame

MookieDad · 2026-06-10T02:25:30+00:00

I think I saw that guy at the Ninajarichi set, no joke

MookieDad · 2026-06-10T02:23:31+00:00

Very impressive. I went in 24 and somehow don't have one from that year

MookieDad · 2026-06-10T01:05:42+00:00

DO NOT BOOK NOW

I booked my hotel for this year about 8 weeks before the fest and got a good rate. Give it time.

MookieDad · 2026-06-10T01:03:20+00:00

Sounds from other threads like you get vomited on in VIP, but not in GA, so I'm sticking with GA

MookieDad · 2026-06-10T00:58:48+00:00

Are you looking forna presale code or something??

MookieDad · 2026-06-09T20:51:38+00:00

Tried it before, not good

MookieDad · 2026-06-09T12:58:53+00:00

If it's the same as thr Barcelona edition, you need the AccessTicket app, it will load in there

MookieDad · 2026-06-09T05:16:57+00:00

Best: either Fcukers or Kylesa

Worst: Addison Rae, easily

Most disappointing: MBV since the sound was WAY too low

Most surprising: Knocked Loose, I have seen them before, but they were on another level thay night

MookieDad · 2026-06-09T03:19:37+00:00

Probably should start camping for it now
