tkprtyrhd Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Re: Hotels in Chicago Most of the ones I'm looking at seem to be in the Near North Side, how late / reliable is the 66 bus, how likely am I to get stabbed at any point on that journey. Or are there any decent ones nearby I'm not seeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 The closer you get to the city, the more expensive hotels are going to be. Just saying. Most the transportation is pretty spot on to the schedules that I've dealt with. Although I've never taken the bus, only the trains. Don't worry about getting stabbed.

scottheisel Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Don't worry about getting stabbed. You've obviously never spent much time in Humboldt Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danalive Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I've got two 2 day passes for sale if anyone is looking for tickets. Looking to sell them for $100, which is the normal price minus the fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying don't worry about getting stabbed, can't control if someone is going to shank you or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpearin Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Fuck yeah. 3 day pass. I'll be drum-teching for Slapstick. Almost decided I wasn't gonna go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeytags Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 does anyone know how and when you can pick up the 3-day passes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgdesign Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 How many people do they screw over with the after-shows? Is it better to just buy tickets for the show? How early do you have to show up to get in? Anyone have experience at this fest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm getting excited. Schedule to come out soon. Really like the new gaslight and minus the bear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I've seen an early version of the schedule—the only brutal conflict I saw was Andrew W.K. vs Minus The Bear vs. Teenage Bottlerocket. Everything else looks pretty evenly distributed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkprtyrhd Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Stoked I managed to grab Promise Ring tickets for the Sat night too. Wish they'd sort out my press accreditation already though, shit's getting a bit tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw TBR a couple weekends ago and they really stepped up their live show. I've always been pissed that they're generally a pretty weak live band. But they've added some things to their set that make them pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviex2shoes Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I do think the whole bring the same ticket back thing for the 2-day tickets is kind of dumb. Luckily my wife and I are responsible adults and it won't be a problem but I can see this becoming an issue with people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they'd sort out my press accreditation already though, shit's getting a bit tight. I'll be at that Promise Ring show too. And good luck on the credentials. The hosts seem to have bit off way more than they can chew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Unless you're a major MTB fan, I'd recommend AWK. If you're in Chicago, TBR are playing at Subterranean in October, and you can see them play a headlining set, rather than a festival set that'd probably be shorter. And I love seeing AWK live. I mean, shit, I saw him on back to back nights on the I Get Wet 10th anniversary tour, and saw him do a JBTV taping the afternoon of the second night.

RustyShackelford Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Awk is definitely not someone you want to miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crime Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Have any of you seen Andrew WK recently? If it's just his solo show (which I believe it has to be because of legal issues) it's boring as hell. It's essentially him singing karaoke.

smailtronic Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Total shot in the dark here, but does anybody have an extra ticket for the Alk3/Brendan Kelly late show on Friday night? PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 As this gets closer, I'm getting more stoked. Cesar is staying with us and he flies in on Tuesday, so there'll be a few days to show him the city before RF starts up. It's also a relief that HP is literally seven minutes walking from my house, so it won't be a rush to get there - seeing Jesus and Mary Chain and The Stooges will be the high lights of my weekend!
