See you all there.
Guess I am going to enjoy the fresh-hell that is Riot Fest parking.
I'll be at Riot Fest!
Take the Pink train!
Man, I am feeling weird trepidation with all the shootings.
The RF schedule has just been posted: https://riotfest.org/2022/08/25/the-schedule-is-here-the-schedule-is-beer/
NIN is on right after Yeah Yeah Yeahs finish their set! Hope for "Immigrant Song" collab.?

SWEET the two bands I care about on this day are on same stage, one after the other! I am so excited for everything other than transpo and parking! yippee!
For anyone in Chicago next weekend, this might be of interest:

I have read that Riot is super understaffed. Food lines 2+ hours long, almost as long even in VIP. MCR stopped several times because of crowd people passing out and pushing too much. Should be interesting.
I heard that's because they oversold Friday with 20,000 extra one-day passes to MCR diehards (or just rollover tickets from a previous postponed year?) instead of capping it at a sane level. Short sighted greed and quite disappointing — even enraging. But it should not affect the way the rest of the weekend is staffed, hopefully.

Today!!
I'm in a sleeveless The Black Queen shirt
Weather still not looking great, but the heavy stuff isn't supposed to hit until after 11... allegedly. Will be bringing a poncho for sure. Maybe the weather will scare some people into just staying home and the lines won't be too terrible. Need to get a shirt today.
Looking forward to seeing Coolio, Jimmy Eat World, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and then NIN. Hope everybody has a good time!
