pushbacktosquare Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 For people flying in to Chicago: what your tentative fly in date? Looks like as of now for LA, it would be cheapest to fly in Wednesday night. Which would give me Thursday to roam around Chicago and have a "tourist" day. Would anyone be down to meet on Thursday and hang? I know this is super in advance but I'm trying to plan ahead as much as I can. billya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I actually went through Airbnb for Chicago this year...I've done it once before for Austin and it worked out really great. This year we booked an apartment in Chicago for the four of us and it ended up costing about $50/night per person which from what I experienced last year is cheaper than the hotels. Plus it's got a rooftop grill, full kitchen, etc so we figured it would help us out big time considering we will be there for 5 days. Decided against flying this year, instead rented a super gas-friendly car to drive from Long Island to Chicago. 13 sweet ass hours... that's a really good deal. where area is that place in?

shenanigans Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I see lots of Chicago talk. Who else is going to Denver? I did Denver last year and had a blast. Didn't meet any VC people, but I feel like I should do that this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkalinesolo Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Booked Santa Ana to o'hare today. Flying in Thursday and out on Tuesday, about 250 round trip. Still trying to book a place on airbnb and going solo this year so I'd be down to hang out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushbacktosquare Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 So I booked my flight from LAX to O'Hare. I'll be arriving in Chicago at about 2 PM ish on Wednesday and I'll fly back to LAX on Monday morning. I'll have about a day and a half to kill before the actual festival so if anyone is going to be in town and will be trying to hang / find record stores / grab food (or) beer, I'm your guy. Plans will become more concrete the closer we get to the fest, but that's my tentative schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's literally held on a farm in the middle of nowhere, so their complaints don't make much sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Due to circumstances beyond our control and despite lots of support for Riot Fest & Sideshow in Byers, May Farms is no longer available to host Riot Fest. A nearby alternate location will be announced early next week. We know this sucks, we're as disappointed as you are, but if you could be a little patient with us, we'll have more information ASAP. All tickets will be honored at the new location. Riot Fest in Denver is NOT cancelled, the show will go on, and rock n roll never dies.

Snaggle Von Swift Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Bummed I can't make this.. seeing The Lawrence Arms in Chicago would be a blast for sure. My flight (to Chicago Midway) doesn't land until 6:15.. so by the time I actually leave the airport and it's a 45 or so minute drive according to Google Maps.. would be cutting it SUPER close and tickets are $50, so really don'y want to waste the money if I can't get there in time.
