My proposed times for the board Malort shot gathering Everyone is welcome to propose other times. This is under the assumption that they'll be handing out shots there too, otherwise we can go to to the Monaco booth or something for their free drinks Friday: 2:45 or 5:30 Saturday: 4:00 or 6:15 Sunday: 3:30 or 4:15 Sunday will work best for me. I'm not going Friday and I think I'm skipping Saturday now, too, since I have an aftershow ticket for SDRE and Bauhaus isn't playing. |

Yep, ours got cancelled for our return trip. Just had to move it to an earlier train though. I was looking forward to having 5 hours or so to just fuck around in Chicago before coming back home, but I guess I'll just do like we've done in past years and just come home right after checking out of the hotel Monday. Also, they moved the deluxe VIP viewing areas from the front of the stages to back by the soundboard apparently.. So, I guess I'm glad I won't be tempted to upgrade on Sunday now (Probably). |

And that would be an extremely expensive uber ride too I've taken Lyfts to the festival a bunch of times for many reasons that boil down to impatience and laziness, but the one time I actually tried calling one instead of taking the pink line after the fest (Friday of last year, when the pink line was a mess), I was unable to get one anyways. Reallllly hoping the pink line situation after the fest is better this year. |

This is the only time I’d say if people were going specifically to see MCR, they may want to buy that single day. But otherwise yeah. If there are not five free passes available on this board for that particular day, I'll eat my hat. |

So, RIOT POP is Riot Fest's own seltzer....two flavors, each available in 0, 5, and 8% abv drinkriotpop.com/edit: appears to be a rebranding of System Seltzer, as it has the exact same products with different labelling |

Why does every damn drink have to be a seltzer nowadays?

Just think of the different ABV percentages we can create by mixing these.

There's some brand with a horseshoe logo too on the map, but the only copy I can find of the map now is from their email, and it's blurry so I can't read who it is (the post above is blocked by my work system) Edit: Herradura tequila |
