Tardcore Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Any idea if toots and the maytals dropped off? If so, That's a major bummer Riotfest said that they did drop off. Apparently Toots is not in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Sunday's lineup is just goddamned ridiculous. I count 15 bands I definitely want to see plus seven more I wouldn't mind watching. Friday is decent and Saturday is solid, but Sunday is like my favorite festival lineup ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that will work out well for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smailtronic Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 ^ too bad we all won't be able to hang out like last year since you'll be Mr. Important in the VIP lounge. Woo, woo, punk police!

Tardcore Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 just noticed a Bandsintown announcement for Dillinger Four at the SubT on 9/14. That's either an aftershow or a disastrous booking decision. I saw D4 at their D4th of July festival in Minneapolis earlier this month and it was pretty epic. Not sure that a Chicago show can compare with D4 headlining their own festival, on a nationalistic holiday, in their home town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 you wont find a decent hotel out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardcore Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 you want find a decent hotel out there Last year, I booked a hotel right across from Grant park for pretty cheap. This year I am debating between looking in that area again or just getting something near O'Hare if I cannot get a good deal. Hotels near Wicker park/Humboldt park seem to be nearly non-existent.

I was mostly interested where the place would be in relation to the blue line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smailtronic Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Hotels near Wicker park/Humboldt park seem to be nearly non-existent. DIng ding ding. Chicago has hotels downtown, and out by the airports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFuckingPowers Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Found out a friend of mine in Pitt is going, so Im going to take a Megabus from NYC then drive to Chicago from there! If anyone has a floor for 2 broke college students to crash on that would be swell. PS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
