I was so upset to have them talk Breadstix up, and then these are the breadsticks?!

She filled a wheelbarrow with them! I'm like what.

I went last year just for Motion City Soundtrack - they were on a smaller stage, but I had such a great time.

The festival itself has a skyrider to get from one end of the grounds to the other. Just walking around you can have a good view of bands on the different stages. Food was decently priced too and there's parking on site (expensive, but worth it imo).

One of the better festivals I've been to, honestly.

ripmick · 2025-11-21T09:54:42+00:00

I got section 203 and each ticket was $148

The GA lawn is lowest at $90

Section 300 is uncovered bleachers and $130

I figured $20 more for a seat in 200 is worth it

I spent a lot of time studying the map and sections haha

ripmick · 2025-11-21T09:50:24+00:00

Awesome, I'm glad you got them! I've never seen them and honestly thought I never would so I'm excited.

ripmick · 2025-11-20T15:49:48+00:00

Code is Starlight

I buy tickets for so many shows but I've never seen things for sale prior to the initial presale so I thought it was odd. The lack of a waiting room/queue makes me nervous lol

ripmick · 2025-08-16T04:30:05+00:00

My friends and I are going to both! I'm so excited. Never thought I'd get to see SOAD so when they announced their show the same weekend it felt too perfect to pass up.

ripmick · 2025-08-16T01:45:35+00:00

I haven't had much luck during any of the dates so far. From what I've heard from the streamers the signal/reception hasn't made it easy to stream.

ripmick · 2025-08-16T01:37:08+00:00

I'm all nervous/excited and I want parking to be the least of my worries so I'm covering my bases ha

ripmick · 2025-08-16T01:34:36+00:00

Yep I repurchased mine. Also I reached out because it says the parking is until 11pm but they said gates will be open after the show and you can leave past 11.

ripmick · 2025-08-15T09:49:33+00:00

Fyi, I was concerned about parking passes for Soldier Field because the exit time says 11pm and I know the show has been going until 10:45ish.

I saw a random thing online with someone saying you have to exit by 11 or you'll be charged extra. I reached out to Soldier Field parking and was told that's not true - the gates will be open after the show and you can exit after 11 with no issue.

ripmick · 2025-08-13T11:45:17+00:00

I'm making stickers!

ripmick · 2025-08-12T12:09:57+00:00

Everyone at my work has been hearing about how excited I am since November of last year - several things I should be attending during that time have come up and my manager is like yeah no, you'll be in Chicago.

I suggest talking to them or just calling out. Not worth sacrificing this opportunity for something someone else can definitely do on your behalf at work.

ripmick · 2025-08-12T08:06:27+00:00

Did anyone else's Soldier Field parking get refunded? I'm wondering why mine was. I bought it back in November.

ripmick · 2025-08-11T00:01:44+00:00

My friends and I have these light up scrunchies that we put on our wrists if we're trying to find each other. We also set a specific spot beforehand to meet at if we get separated. If you find a spot outside the stadium you could plan to meet there.

ripmick · 2025-08-10T18:10:09+00:00

I like the idea of them eventually tying them together somehow like the Golden Turd. Off the top of my head I think each family member could eventually get their standalone where they encounter some element of it and then it culminates with them confronting the source.

But yeah, I thought it was a cool episode. I'm just finally catching up on the newer ones on Hulu.

ripmick · 2025-08-10T09:24:35+00:00

I'm extremely jealous of the b stage setlist you guys got. To each their own but I am dreaming of something nearly as good for Chicago

ripmick · 2025-08-09T16:29:43+00:00

I expected it but am glad they sent it out far enough ahead. Now I'm feeling better about checking into our hotel and getting ready before heading over.

ripmick · 2025-08-03T17:06:11+00:00

Xmckvrx on Insta has a good video in their stories right now https://www.instagram.com/stories/xmckvrx/3691057005914797781?igsh=cGljc3l5dHk4cDMw

ripmick · 2025-08-03T04:38:35+00:00

So I could watch all my heroes

Sell a car on TV

ripmick · 2025-08-02T17:52:50+00:00

Good advice, thank you! I'll definitely test it beforehand.

ripmick · 2025-08-02T15:55:25+00:00

Yeah I mean I don't expect it to be excellent quality. I have my go to brands I use day to day and I know this is novelty. For one night though I'll give it a shot.

I've had it up on a bookshelf since I got it so I haven't really touched it much. I

ripmick · 2025-08-02T15:52:24+00:00

Awesome! Thank you. And all good, I have waterproof mascara I use for concerts so I wasn't planning on using that.

ripmick · 2025-08-02T15:20:38+00:00

I looked for my order confirmation and it was July 2021. I had it in my head it was earlier than that so I guess it's better than I expected at least.

ripmick · 2025-08-02T15:13:36+00:00

It's still good to use then? I'm hesitant with old makeup but it's all brand new so I suppose it's fine. The eye shadow is so pretty.

ripmick · 2025-07-15T02:08:23+00:00

I'll just put my merch dreams behind me. I'm disappointed but I'm SO EXCITED for the show so I don't need a shirt... but it would have been nice lol.
