nancy_raygun Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'll be there for Sunday. I've only visited Chicago once before and it was only for like an hour on a road trip somewhere else. Any recommendations for good vegan restaurants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I have a rehearsal dinner Friday and wedding Saturday. Trying to make it Sunday if my ticket source comes through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deafening Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Wear sunscreen, kids. What is everyone up to after the Fest each day? Will probably do Gogol on Sunday, but up in the air for tonight and tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecayToDeath Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I know everyone's all excited about Jawbreaker but from what I saw/heard of Cap'n Jazz's set I wish I could've seen it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NapalmBrain Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Jawbreaker was phenomenal, everything I wanted. Dinosaur Jr was a close second. I really enjoyed Built To Spill, Dessa, The Orwells and Beach Slang as well. Only clunker for me was prophets of rage and I wish pennywise's set was not a full hour, even if it's nostalgia you can only hear so many similar songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Jawbreaker was phenomenal. At The Drive-In was on fire on Saturday, too — way better than when I saw them earlier this year. My new discovery was the Regrettes — great 60s pop-meets-indie-punk stuff with good female harmonies. Built To Spill is nothing to look at, but my god, can Doug shred. So happy to have seen them play Keep It Like A Secret. danthemjfan23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We recently switched to the company he works for for all our domestic CD manufacturing and hes my rep so I email with him frequently, really nice guy. I was stoked that our tent was right out from the main stage so I watched Jawbreaker and some other stuff right from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming from Texas where the highs are still consistently in the 90's, it was a nice break. Especially Sunday. I have also been sick since Tuesday. hashtag thanksriotfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanRees Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Yeah Sunday was nice. I think it was the humidity that got me Fri and sat and having to set up the booth before the fest each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
