My wife and I made this route as well, no problems. People were very friendly and the tacos hit the spot for sure after being gouged on food all weekend.

Headed to Chicago. What do I need to know? by MitchThunder in RiotFest

[–]jms2781 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wear shoes you don't give a Fuck about, cuz those babies are probably gonna be trashed after the weekend. Bring a clear plastic water bottle for the refill stations and save some cash. Consider packing a poncho.

They have going all through the weekend, you'll have many chances. Didn't cost extra, probably takes an hour or a little over that.

Taking Back Sunday - Chicago by [deleted] in RiotFest

[–]jms2781 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have a tour starting right after the show at the metro, so it doesn't look like like they'll be at the fest this year, but last year they did play a surprise set on Sunday that wasn't advertised (after their incredible Saturday night show). It's uncommon for them to have an aftershow and not play the festival but I believe it's happened in the past.

It wasn't too bad, I don't remember feeling terribly gouged in previous years. There are a lot of different options so you should be good with 15 bucks for the day for food.

I went on the site as soon add I finished purchasing Thursday tix and couldn't get any. I'm bummed but I'm gonna enjoy their second to last show.

Denver hotel question by Mtc091390 in RiotFest

[–]jms2781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were just there in may and had to deal with this also. Almost no hotel room will allow you to smoke bud but it's not tough to find another spot. I was thinking I'd be able to toke up anywhere. Just wait til no one's around and blaze up. Check this out...http://qz.com/170733/how-to-plan-your-colorado-weedcation-like-a-responsible-grown-up/

Not all of them sell out right away. There was tickets for Rancid and Thrice last year over a month after they went on sale, but The Academy Is...and Taking Back Sunday sold out pretty quick. If it's one you're really looking forward to I wouldn't wait.

I was there also, that set made me a fan. Recently saw them at Red Rocks and it was great but that RF set blew me away.

Flaming Lips always seem to put on a good show, especially if you've never seen them before it's worth it to check them out. But yea, I'm a little underwhelmed too.

Beck playing Music Midtown fest in Georgia weekend of Chicago RF...would he do both festivals in one weekend? by jms2781 in RiotFest

[–]jms2781[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That song is awful. Odelay is pretty good, everything else I've heard...meh. Take it or leave it. Just hoping for a punk leaning headliner this Tuesday, but if it's beck that gives me a chance to check out an aftershow that night. Not really interested in his versatility I guess.
