RustyShackelford Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm down to meet up with people.. also as far as communicating during the festival groupme is an amazing tool. It's group IM using text messaging, so you can just turn off your data, save battery and still potentially be able to send/receive messages. It's been the best for me and my friends when we're in Vegas or trying to get together for a show. https://groupme.com/ Edit of course this also means we'll need to know each other's phone numbers beforehand.. lol! Group me uses data. It will be useless if you don't have cell service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadmonkey Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Group me uses data. It will be useless if you don't have cell service. I've had it work purely without data. It will need data if you link your number to something like google voice. However normal text messaging has and still uses just normal cell network traffic... doesn't matter if there's absolutely no phone service anyways.

kriss Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm not a jerk, I promise. can my roommate and i maybe take you up on this? at least on saturday? Billy - just responded to yr PM. Nick, yeah, the two of you are welcome on Saturday. There's a twin bed in the spare bedroom that I think Billy's gonna use, but I have a huge air mattress and a couple of super comfy couches that are up for grabs. Oh, and we live within walking distance of the grounds. So, no public transit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow_Tree_Records Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Have any after shows been announced? Also, any suggestions on where to get tattooed? Sorry if that was already addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkrock Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 The Replacements were amazing! The Stooges and Dinosaur Jr. Were great too. Actually every band except Best Coast were awesome. The singer from Best Coast was complaining in between songs. She complained about everything from short set time to short setup time to no one getting into their set. Musicially I didn't mind them but she was having no fun so it was hard for anyone else to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 not many people have amazing phones that work without service. I honestly didn't have any issues with service last year at Riot Fest that I remember. Verizon Wireless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Did anyone who went to the Toronto Riot Fest happen to see what kind of merch The Replacements had? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkrock Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 The had a lot, most of it was sold out by the end of the show. All the shirts were $25 except the baseball shirt Off the top of my head: A 3/4 baseball t-shirt, blue sleeves with the replacements written in a very curvey basebally font - $30 A blue shirt with the replacements written in yellow A white shirt with The Replacements written inside a blue box (like the facebook logo) and on the back it said hate us on facebook and had a curser giving the middle finger A shirt that looks like a doller bill (I think) but had $25 n the midle and the bill was ripped on both sides and said "I was ripped off $25 by The Replacements" (I definitely got the wording wrong) A black hat with white stitching $30 A black zip-up with white writing $50 This poster for $30 and a shirt that had just the writing and dial on it. http://epilogger.com/events/PhotoDetails/3131/1943078 I think that's everything, may have missed a shirt. billya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Wow. That was a better answer than I could have anticipated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkrock Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 When I got to the merch table at the end they had ladies t-s left. But for mens they only the white ones and black radio one and hoodie. All the sizes were sold out except xl and xxl for the few designs they had left in mens shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirrichardrichard Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Merch continued.... I think they had a dark grey shirt with the foreground/silhouette of the handshake from "Pleased to Meet Me" early in the day...they had it for ladies as well. The Navy/Yellow Logo shirt Large sold out early in the day....I got to the tent at around 6:00 The hat is a flexfit fitted hat in S/M and L/XL - the logo is embroidered in the front with a smaller version on the back. Apparently the poster lasted only an hour, so there must not have been very man If you were looking to get something, I'd get it early. They are also launching their website soon, I would imagine some of the designs will be in there too. That's one of the reasons I went with the tour dates shirt (radio dial) Enjoy!

Tardcore Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Chicago After shows just got announced.... Highlights for me are RFTC at the Double Door and Lillingtons at the Beat Kitchen Sunday.
