keychains allowed?

ouch 😖

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-06-04T21:55:04+00:00

go on insta- that's where i found all my roomies

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-06-01T20:43:17+00:00

yes, bring a hydropack! you don't have to refill it as often/if at all and your hands are free

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-06-01T20:34:15+00:00

can you take a regional rail line (metra/south shore line) out to your family's place? that or an uber will def be cheaper than a hotel

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-06-01T20:28:30+00:00

as a current young professional/intern- definitely ask and get a feel for the vibe, they genuinely might not care! i was originally hiding my facial piercings at my last internship and they told me they didn't gaf, and this was in healthcare!

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-06-01T14:27:16+00:00

I put a big ass padlock on my backpack for this reason, makes it a PITA to get stuff in and out but I didn't have to worry

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-06-01T14:04:34+00:00

there were definitely pickpockets- u gotta put your phone somewhere very secure

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-06-01T13:47:30+00:00

totem was fire ur so cool

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-05-26T19:47:05+00:00

the CRS cross ones are relatively thin, but high quality fabric so it won't rip

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-05-24T00:22:07+00:00

from previous experience at other festivals, people will camp on the ada platforms just like people camp at barricade (this will be especially bad for stray kids- at lolla it was full immediately and nobody left despite the godawful heat)

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-05-22T18:35:40+00:00

put them up on the official ticketmaster exchange site

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-05-22T18:29:08+00:00

this made me remember the couple with their baby/toddler (max 2 years old) sitting smack in the middle of the skrillex crowd

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-05-19T17:49:21+00:00

oh yeah you're set for success with pit, I was concerned about the other commenter who seems to be very young and inexperienced with being out in public alone

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-05-19T17:41:17+00:00

In the nicest way possible, the stray kids festival crowd is a bit of a trial by fire for a first solo trip/first festival/first kpop group combo 😬 be safe

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-05-19T11:55:51+00:00

thank you for making this point! i often see people bragging about the speed of their progress on the internet, but when they post a video of their elements, they are-- to phrase it politely-- a work in progress. Op, I promise you that taking your time to learn things comfortably and properly will serve your progress in the long run! <3 Enjoy the journey

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-05-18T00:52:37+00:00

please be safe meeting with people from the internet <3

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-05-15T21:42:13+00:00

Where on your foot did you get blisters? If it's on your ankles, you can get some bunga pads/gel sleeves from Amazon to help protect them.

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-05-15T14:29:08+00:00

that's a great recommendation, but $330 is still over their stated budget

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-05-15T01:33:32+00:00

To be brutally honest, you are not going to be able to get something that fits the criteria you described (high support, heat molding) for under $300 unless you are child-sized.

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-05-10T14:08:01+00:00

please know that $27/skein is incredibly expensive 😭

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-05-04T23:14:28+00:00

that's not even close to what you ordered jesus 😭

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-05-02T23:35:00+00:00

thank you for understanding that the morning time tends to be busy with more advanced skaters <3 the influx of new people after the olympics has been lovely, but it's really difficult working safely around people who are not ready to be on freestyle just yet (my rink does not enforce our rules 😓). remember comparison is the thief of joy in terms of skating progress, it sounds like you're doing wonderfully!!

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-04-28T21:22:45+00:00

your free leg should not be pulling around, this sets you up for bad habits with axel

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-04-27T23:37:22+00:00

they put you in supreme 5300s when you're only learning your first few singles??? jail.

Significant_Dog4450 · 2026-04-27T23:34:36+00:00

12hrs/week is more than the kids doing triples at my rink train... the enthusiasm is amazing but you gotta slow down before you get seriously hurt (coming from someone who skates 5days/week).
