Snaggle Von Swift Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Dashboard Confessional vs. The Get Up Kids is the only conflict that is driving me crazy. I will be seeing The Get Up Kids the night before... but it's STWHA on Saturday. If DC is actually Twin Forks covering DC songs, I will be watching The Get Up Kids though.

OrangeJoe Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 You > cousin > cousins friend > cousins friends friend > keyboardist of the cure. I've played this game enough times to know how this one ends. I suggest buying a ticket for when this falls through. Def real. What a night.

Only 2 in this photo, but spent most of the night with rodger the keyboardist. knifeparty, Snaggle Von Swift and pushbacktosquare 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'm leaving after the Descendents on Saturday, so early, but not crazy early. Friday, I'll probably take off after Red City Radio. I know I used to talk shit about them, but you should seriously check out a bit of the National. I saw them earlier this year and it completely changed my mind about them. One of the best live shows I've ever seen. I'll be walking over to double door directly after if you want to meet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Blue Meanies, Primus and The Cure. Sunday has a pretty awesome lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've youtube'd a couple of their songs but I just can't get into it. I've already made arrangements to meet up with the person I'm selling my Sunday ticket to offsite (during the National's set), so I'll keep an eye out for you at the Double Door.

Snaggle Von Swift Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 This is my tentative schedule, though it's changed about 15 times in the past day. (watch times don't account for travel between stages) Also most likely grabbing a ticket for the Mineral aftershow Saturday night. I am most likely going to take advantage of the Chicago Bike Rentals for the weekend (https://www.divvybikes.com/) The Get Up Kids aftershow is a bit far. (it's south of Humbolt and I am staying north of it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(it's south of Humbolt and I am staying north of it) I wouldn't plan on being able to get a bike at the end of the night. Divvy will probably try to keep them well-stocked, but there are only two small racks by Humboldt Park, and potentially thousands of people in the market for one. You might want to consider catching the blue line train into the loop, switch to the Green line at Clark/Lake, and hop off at Ashland. That'll put you right by Bottom Lounge.

Thanks for that bit of info. I also just signed up for Uber and got a $30 credit, so that could definitely come in handy as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uber kinda sucks in Chicago. Lyft is much better/cheaper. Use 7DWXK5 to get $25 credit. (Which I can guarantee is worth more than $30 Uber credit). Or you know, use both!

GhostTrail Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Does anyone happen to have a Sunday ticket(s) or no plans to use their weekend pass for Sunday? I bought one-day passes for Saturday, and just went to grab Sunday and saw they've been sold out for awhile. Definitely didn't expect that, although it is probably the best day.

scottheisel Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 This is a super-random question but does anyone live close to Humboldt Park who is NOT going to Riot Fest that would be willing to watch my dog for a few hours on Sunday night? I'm going to be driving through Chicago on Sunday and in theory could stop to go see Blue Meanies and Cheap Trick but I'll have my dog with me and I obviously can't leave her in the car or bring her into the fest. Anyone willing to help a dude out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
