One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Question for someone in the area. What is the nearest Hotel? Whose house is closest and wants to throw a party? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I grabbed a pair of the 2 day passes. Figured why not at $36 can't really pass that up. I doubt I'd be interested in who ever is playing at the congress on Friday. Plus an outdoor festival in September seems like it could be fun. Glad they're switching it up this year and doing it this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Did they release the day by day schedule yet or am I just not seeing it? They have not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Waiting for the rest of the headliners before deciding, it's sort of 50% shit and 50% good, how is ADTR listed higher than JAMC How is anyone listed higher than Slapstick? IMO, thats the biggest news of the day, regardless of the fest. All my buddies have been texting me about them reuniting yet mentioning nothing about the rest of the fest.

scottheisel Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 With as tall and intimidating as Scott looks (without talking to him because he's super nice), he wouldn't be able to convince anyone that he NEEDS a security guard.ANd this is after watching him watch over the pit at that Touche Amore show in Rockford. Crazy. Haha, that sure was an experience! I've broken up many an idiotic kung-fu pit just by standing in the center of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a hometown reunion show. I hope to god either The Broadways or the Blue Meanies do one of the secret shows. That would be the icing on the cake, IMO.

Glad they're switching it up this year and doing it this way. A bit bummed that by not going to the Congress, I'll probably be missing out on The Stooges and The Descendents, but (since they're in smaller font, thus 'lower priority') the price is worth it alone just for TJAMC, Nobunny, Less Than Jake, White Mystery, The Promise Ring and Rev.

kriss Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Eh, no interest in the Offspring whatsoever - of the major headlining bands, those two that I listed were the only ones that had my interest - all of the lesser tiered acts are the ones I want to see. And truthfully, one can barely find the luck to see The Jesus and Mary Chain for $36, so everything is just icing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I just figured the congress was going to be like Rise Against and The Offspring, which I don't have any interested in seeing either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will skip the congress but thinking the two days at Humboldt Park are a go since that park is literally seven minutes walking from my place. I'd like to know who is plwying on what day though, would be bummed if the Stooges were playing the congress show. Kelsea and I will have to base our visit around this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Okay, the following bands have posted about which shows they're playing on FB/Twitter (or they have conflicting shows on two out of the three Riot Fest days): 9/14 No one confirmed yet, but rumors are saying it'll be Descendents, Slapstick and Less Than Jake 9/15 Rise Against 9/16 A Day To Remember Gogol Bordello Built To Spill Reverend Horton Heat Sister Crayon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
