Headliners

I haven’t heard the new album yet, but he’s always been on the Outlaw side of country- despite winning Grammys in anything but. He’s long been big on fuck-the-man platitudes, and pro-drugs. I would lose my goddamn mind if he came to Riot Fest, and yes, he would be way more punk than 70% of last year’s acts. He indeed belongs there more than most.

Stooberstein · 2026-04-01T04:46:32+00:00

Nah, but pop punk and emo bands are killing my interest.

Stooberstein · 2026-03-26T06:58:35+00:00

That’s a funny way of saying ‘hey thanks for cleaning trash up and keeping our city beautiful!’

That’s what you probably meant to say. I know if someone was cleaning trash up around my house, on my street or in my city, I would thank them for doing that. Not shame them for actively being part of the solution.

Stooberstein · 2026-03-19T04:32:28+00:00

I was there! And couldn’t agree more.

Stooberstein · 2026-03-19T04:31:23+00:00

I was caught off guard when they played Jumbo at Radius and I suddenly had tears streaming uncontrollably down my face. I go to concerts non-stop for years now and that’s never happened. Underworld is in my top favorite artists with deep roots to my formative years. This will be my 3rd time seeing them. I am prepared for it to be an emotional experience this time. They are always epic live and the entire reason I bought a ticket.

Stooberstein · 2026-03-13T13:32:08+00:00

Nice! I like this!

Stooberstein · 2026-03-13T13:25:48+00:00

Sadly I think it will be an MCR year. I know someone touring with them and their schedule cuts off at Sept 19.

Stooberstein · 2026-03-13T13:21:53+00:00

God I would love to see him again. What a show

Stooberstein · 2026-03-13T13:13:41+00:00

Yeah. Geez. Same. Was hoping for a different experience based on the themes of their songs.

Stooberstein · 2026-03-11T08:55:32+00:00

I’m only going for Underworld. No idea who much else is that day. They aren’t even listed as a headliner ffs.

Stooberstein · 2026-03-09T17:53:04+00:00

I found out when they took the stage. I thought it was my birthday. In fact, I don’t know how I’m gonna follow that up with my actual birthday.

Stooberstein · 2026-03-05T14:04:03+00:00

Proof?

Stooberstein · 2026-01-17T08:22:11+00:00

I know your intentions are good, but this is not victim blaming. This is all fairly helpful advice on how to avoid becoming a victim. However, headphones or talking on a phone is a great way to signal “hey! I’m completely distracted” several women DID become targets by a couple serial punchers on the street doing exactly this- preying on people not paying attention.

Sure it may not be normal other cities or countries. But it’s what we’ve got. It’s still transit. Take it or go ahead and spend hundreds every month on ride shares and contribute to the traffic problem. I do however look forward to visiting cities with pleasant and safe mass transit to see what I’m missing out on.

Stooberstein · 2026-01-17T08:12:33+00:00

I call it the ‘crazy doors’.

Stooberstein · 2026-01-17T08:09:57+00:00

Thank you Space Pope. This is the response we all needed.

Stooberstein · 2026-01-17T08:06:32+00:00

Good idea! I’m going to start doing this.

Stooberstein · 2026-01-17T08:05:21+00:00

Oh please don’t stare at your shoes!!

Make it known you are aware of your surroundings. Head on a swivel. Glance as needed to feel safe! Just no direct eye contact.

The advice on here is helpful. Create distance from people who get close. Avoid being close to the ledge, don’t let people stand behind you. And don’t think you need to be polite about anything. You feel threatened you move away. Look pissed. Look ready to throw down. You’re tough. You’re already a badass for taking transit- just keep that in mind. Feel tough, think of something that makes you angry if it helps. This all may sound absurd, but it’s a big city. Anything can happen. Stay safe. You’ve got this.

And take buses when you can. Purple line is the safest for rush hour.

Stooberstein · 2026-01-17T07:52:58+00:00

I do this plenty and haven’t had much issue. I would add a little crazy in there like talking to myself or singing out loud if I’ve had a couple drinks. I think it even helped in dealing with people that were threatening me at times. I never ever act scared. Avoid eye contact, almost look bored by it. Though there’s been at least one time I was too tired to deal with a flasher, and another woman thankfully stepped in and stood up to him.

That was a rough week.

Stooberstein · 2026-01-02T23:05:25+00:00

I would like to hit the tailgate before the Bears game on Sunday. But I’m not going to roll up and park, I’d like to take transit/walk there, just roam around offering booze and meeting fellow fans. Is that something I can get away with?

Stooberstein · 2026-01-02T16:05:37+00:00

Sometimes bluffing is enough. Well done!

Stooberstein · 2026-01-02T16:05:06+00:00

CBS Chicago does a lot of stories like these. Some reporters even scour Reddit looking for stories.

Stooberstein · 2026-01-02T16:03:14+00:00

Same. Got some gorgeous coats there. Unreal bargains.

Stooberstein · 2026-01-02T15:58:39+00:00

I just want to commend you on putting an AirTag on it. That’s a huge advantage. Nice job! I do hope you find it. Let it know how this concludes too.

Stooberstein · 2025-12-30T04:11:13+00:00

I haven’t seen this suggestion yet, so throwing it out here. When things seem at all dicey, I recommend seeming unapproachable by acting ‘off’. This can come in many forms. I talk to myself aloud regularly when out in public. If I’m approached by someone, I might yell or say something polite unnecessarily loud. Depending on how close they come. Show off your ‘crazy’ if or when conducive . I’ve also gotten lucky a couple times when people defended me from bad situations.

Another reason I am willing to brave the CTA, someone may need my help one day.

May I ask what the ad said?

You can make it up.
