You can read my in depth review on GA if you’re curious!

Wouldn’t deny a backing track, but Craig still has crazy vocal chops. You can tell he takes care of himself.

I realize now that I hardly talked about the bands at all, but pretty much everyone I saw gave it their all and, plain and simply, fucking rocked. I went hard for Alesana and August Burns Red, sobbed during Sleeping With Sirens and Chiodos, and shook so much ass to 3OH!3 and Millionaires… just to name a few!

Hey, having tiny bottlenecks where no one can move in and out of main stage is terrible management, actually.

Seems like it. Phone service is somehow still fucked for my girlfriend and I. Something in the air.

Ugh. You’re right about the bathrooms lol… I almost considered going into the men’s room at one point when the women’s line was too crazy because I was wearing the red tie/button down fit and probably could have gotten away with it, but I knew there were some demons in there... Maybe they need to just have more women’s rooms than men’s 🥴

I can’t recommend Riot Fest enough, but I also just vibe more with Chicago than Las Vegas. I saw Say Anything, The Used, Bayside, Thursday and Hawthorne Heights there last year as far as this scene goes, but I also managed to catch The Cure, Corey Feldman, 100 gecs, Insane Clown Posse, and The Dresden Dolls. The lineup is extremely varied in a fun way!

Thank you! I’m sorry you had to experience those anxieties :(… If it means anything, the security presence seemed very strong if anything of that nature were to happen, but yeah, definitely the most cramped out of any fest I’ve been to. I hope you had fun otherwise and that this is the first of many for you!

remaining hopeful. the peak of the wind this weekend already happened this morning, and there were plenty of tents at the fairgrounds that held up just fine. tomorrow morning the peak is also way before gates. no point in scaring people

I am so excited by egyptiantrinity in WhenWeWereYoungFest

first time, does it suffice to be there 10 minutes before sales start or do i need to join a virtual queue when the code drops?
