That Time I Wrote an Update - A Lesson on Living Your Life

So I'm not sure why Tumblr doesn't post dates I publish, but it's July 2023 and it's been six months since my husband had a reoccurrence of cancer and two months since the end of Nuclear Chemo (TM). We've made it to the Otherside, not 100% scarred but also not 100% the same. That's cheesy as hell, but it's the only way I know how to describe it.

It's been a weird journey man, but first the good news. Thanks to the Nuclear Chemo (TM), it looks like the cancer was blasted straight to hell, and while another reoccurrence is always possible, the probability is really small so praise be mother fuckers. Husband has some side effects that may/may not go away, but they fall under the bucket of "it beats the alternative."

Due to some other family nonsense, we're still going through it. You know what's fun -- when your husband's company lets him go two days before he finds out about his cancer reoccurrence. Life lesson: don't work for startups. Also, I'd like to take this moment to thank unions and my great teacher healthcare. If you ever cross a union picket line for any reason you're dead to me.

BUT I DIGRESS.

The most important thing I've learned is that Life Doesn't Stop Happening. So do the stuff now, and always now. We threw a giant party when summer started to thank those that we love and helped, and we legit had more people than were at our wedding. We shut down our block, hired a taco truck, and invited God and Everyone to party. Husband's oncologist came, special guest star friends Husband hadn't seen in 10 years flew in, it was a time. Kids played street hockey and ran around with sparklers. There was a taco truck (thank you, Guapo Taco!). Shit happens, and it will keep happening. Don't let your bucket list sit there. In the words of Matt Damon, Just Do It.

My summer bucket list includes dragging my kids to my favorite Chicago neighborhoods that we don't always get to. I'm working on my short story homage to Shirley Jackson which I keep threatening to finish. Doing stand-up for the first time in three years if I can get my ass downtown past 9 pm (but it's so laaaaatttteeeee).

Finally, seeing my boyfriend Dave at Riot Fest. True story: I knew Husband was going to be ok when they announced that Foo Fighters were headlining. It's been my joke for years "is this when Foo Fighters will headline RF?" knowing they would never play there. And this was the year I was thinking about skipping. The universe likes to laugh a lot.

I never have answers for anything, but all I've got is everything will turn on a dime all the time. You can't predict anything. All you can do is put one foot in front of the other, try to be a kind person, and go to the shows.

RIOT RIOT RIOT Fest: A Retrospective (Sept. 13-15th)

Words and photos by Ari Jindracek.

Anyone who has spoken to me since the Riot Fest lineup was announced could tell you, probably with a grimace, how excited I was for Riot Fest. The ones I talked to more would probably mention the acts I was looking forward to in the next breath. A music festival for the music I love, in the city I love? To say I was looking forward to this would be a gross understatement. However, I was not prepared, at all, for what Riot Fest would actually be like. 

The first thing you need to know about Riot Fest if you've never gone is that it's not just about the shows. There are carnival rides. There are people on stilts. There is more free Pedialyte than you can drink. There's a sculpture of John Stamos made of butter for reasons I can't begin to fathom. The official name on the stage dressings was Riot Fest and Carnival, and that's pretty apt: I was basically going to a carnival for three straight days. Did I ride the rides, you ask? No, because it was 5 bucks for one go on the Tilt-a-Whirl. The ambiance, though, was really fun to be a part of. That probably contributed to Riot Fest being the only fest where I've ever made connections with people. I got two phone numbers (three if you count fellow editor Cae Rosch as someone I met at Riot Fest, even though we'd talked online beforehand) and a business card for someone's Etsy store, and I chatted less at length with probably a dozen people. There was a real sense of kinship in the crowd. People would actually save your barricade spot, and, during Microwave on Saturday, a clump of people actually helped me fight my way forward in the crowd. Maybe it was just my crowds or my blind luck, but I felt supported at Riot Fest, both by my fellows in the front rows and by the staff who gave me extra cherry Pedialyte because I said it was my favorite. 

People don't go to Riot Fest just because of Butter Stamos, though (at least, I don't think so). I, like everyone else, was there for the music. At the barricade before shows (and oh, was I at the barricade), people would sometimes ask each other, "Who's your band?" Mine was Senses Fail, who, in an expression of love or maybe good publicity, were playing two sets as a way of compensating for the Chicago date they were forced to cancel during the polar vortex earlier this year. The other acts I wanted to see above others included Frank Iero and the Future Violents, Against Me!, Rise Against, and Glassjaw. I planned around these six sets; about half of the bands I cover here were bands I saw because their set was on while I was camping a stage. This is not the only approach to Riot Fest, and it probably isn't even the best, but it's the one I took. Due to the sheer volume of bands I saw, I will focus only on the ones I found most notable since if I wrote at length about all of them, this review would be a 20-page essay. All sets were excellent in their own way, even if they weren't my favorites; at no point did I wish I was seeing another set, though. Every band I saw, though hugely different, was stellar. They wouldn't be on the bill otherwise.

On day one, I missed the first band at the Radicals stage by minutes; I don't often miss openers, so I felt awful, but the dispersal of the crowd after the set left me a wide-open spot leaning against the barricade. Here I met my first Riot Fest buddy (shout out to Salem) and saw Anti-Flag, whose music I had not heard at all before. They immediately cemented themselves in my good books, not only because their music was terrific, but also because they talked at length about the current political hell America finds itself in with a conviction that their crowd was going to change it. I almost started crying during their speech about gun violence, and again when they talked about how distraction politics are screwing over disadvantaged communities. I also collected from them my first ever setlist, by bartering for it with my first ever band guitar pick. (The setlist has a chunk ripped out of it, which is why the person next to me was willing to trade it. Their loss.)

Senses Fail was the next band up, but I'll talk about both of their sets at the same time. After spending my time at Radicals stage, I bounced around the festival a bit: I grabbed some merch and a giant funnel cake, then tried to watch Dashboard Confessional but couldn't get a spot that wasn't behind the light and sound tent, where people were having drunk conversations. The next set I saw, my last of day one, was Glassjaw. I was lucky that they were playing Worship and Tribute because that's the only one of their albums I've listened to enough to know any lyrics. As this was an album play set timed almost exactly to the length of the album, there wasn't a lot of time for the band to interact with the crowd. Glassjaw played a steadier set rather than a harder set, as is their style. To my memory, there wasn't a lot of crowd surfing or moshing (although this might not necessarily be true; I was in the outskirts of the crowd). Trappings aside, the album was amazing live. The crowd clearly knew the words to the songs -- one perk of knowing the exact setlist ahead of time -- and the mix of long, sustained notes with the rich instrumentals was stunning. 

The second day of Riot Fest, I got to Douglas Park comfortably early (aka, before the gates were opened) and headed for Rebel Stage as soon as I could. This was 11AM. I would be camping there until about 7PM, minus a short bathroom and water break. The first band on Rebel Stage was Monarchy Over Monday, which was a notable act to me for two reasons. First of all, they were all high school students and the youngest band at this year's Riot Fest. Second, the head of my department at work knows their parents. (The head of my department was there. Let me tell you, it's a bit weird to see your boss's boss's boss in overalls and a band shirt while she tells you how to properly break in your new Docs). I'll admit I wasn't expecting Monarchy Over Monday to shred, but they wouldn't be playing Riot Fest if they weren't good, and they were very good. The only thing I thought they were really lacking was stage presence, but that was only to be expected since they didn't have the longest history of big shows to pull from. They're good and I'm sure they'll learn. 

The Rebel stage stayed pretty low-key until just before The Damned Things came on. Like, I would bet, a lot of the other members of the crowd, I'd heard of The Damned Things as the side project of Fall Out Boy members Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley. Beyond this, I went in aware of all of one of their songs, and I'd pulled that from the official Riot Fest playlist. (Honestly, I was only prepared for 3, maybe 4 of the sets I saw at Riot Fest. I didn't know anything about anyone. It's hard to research bands when your default is listening to the same album on Spotify until you wear it out). I can easily say that I enjoyed watching The Damned Things more than I've ever enjoyed a Fall Out Boy show, and that's without the emotional investment and the lyrics in my head. The band played hard and the crowd went hard. The frontman chatted and joked with the audience (I can remember that he played matchmaker for a friendship between two dads who had never met) and the music, including that one song I knew, was fun to hear, to clap along with, and to sing when possible. 

The colossal crowd stuck around for Microwave next (I barely remember their set, so focused was I on not falling over as I tried to claw my way back to the spot I'd asked someone to save while I got water and then over as I fought my way back to the barricade) and then Senses Fail. Now, I've been listening to Senses Fail with the fervor of obsession, on the day of writing this, since August, with breaks of a few days at the most. I'm not the best at learning lyrics, but I could sing at least the chorus of every single song they pulled out over two sets. Three of their members keep liking my tweets. You could say I'm biased in Senses Fail's favor as I write this. But, with two high energy, high caliber sets, how could I not be? On day one, they played all of Let It Enfold You, one of their most popular albums, and on day two, the remastered version of their first release, From the Depths of Dreams; the popular single "Can't Be Saved" was also featured on both days. 

The stage show featured Buddy Nielsen doing dances that clearly marked him as a dad, but, like, a cool dad, and twirling and throwing his microphone with such confidence that I never once worried he'd drop it. I will not pretend to be unbiased in my analysis of Senses Fail’s set. I have been listening to their music in days-long bursts since July. I had tickets to see their canceled show over the winter. Senses Fail’s sets were the ones I was most looking forward to, and I was not disappointed. True, like Glassjaw, they did not have much time to interact with fans. Beyond introducing the band and a few songs, there was hardly any audience interaction (I managed to interact with the band, though, since I was at barricade; during one of the songs on From the Depths of Dreams, I gave frontman Buddy Nielsen a little wave and he waved back at me in abject confusion). I can hardly remember looking anywhere other than back to see if I needed to hold anyone or up at the dervish that was Buddy Nielsen for the two sets. 

Everyone on stage looked like they were having the time of their lives; I would routinely catch them smiling bright, though they’d usually get back into their music before I could get a picture. It wasn’t just a good set musically, it was fun to watch and fun to be a part of. I happened to make friends before Senses Fail on both days, too (shout out to Salem and Jace), so I was enjoying the show with people I knew. In my crowning moment of Riot Fest glory, I got a hand on Senses Fail’s day two setlist; I ended up sharing it with my new concert pal, because I’m a nice person, but I don’t think I have ever cherished a piece of paper more. If Senses Fail had played on Sunday, too, or any other day after Riot Fest, I would drop anything to go see them (as of writing, they’re still on tour, so go see them and record a video for me if they play “Blackout”).

The final act I saw on day two was Rise Against, the only band on the lineup I’ve covered before. This marked the third time I had seen Rise Against in a single year, and it was, for obvious reasons, drastically different than the other two sets of theirs I had seen. What I remember most isn’t the songs they played -- singles, mostly, as one does at Riot Fest -- but the way they talked about their hometown of Chicago. Frontman Tim said that he grew up near Douglas Park, the site of the festival, and later talked about writing “Swing Life Away” (my favorite Rise Against song) in a neighborhood near the one I currently live in. As a resident of Chicago, I always love hearing people talk about it and hearing the joy with which the frontman of the band talked about his home, which had come out to support him in a big way, was more powerful to me than hearing “Savior” again. The music was great, obviously. The music was just not what I was thinking about; I was thinking about my place in time, at my first music festival in the city I consider my home.

On the third day, I arrived early again, got water, and made a beeline for the only stage I had not yet spent any time at, the Rise stage, to camp out for Frank Iero and the Future Violents. I got there maybe fifteen minutes after the first people were admitted for the day and couldn’t get a spot at the barricade. Two bands (Ultra Q, which I had heard of in former incarnation Mt. Eddy, and highly-sensual ska band Save Ferris) played beforehand, but the crowd didn’t thin as people, myself included, craned their necks, searching for the Future Violents’ uniforms. The crowd was different than the acts I had been front-and-center for on the previous two days: they were louder before the band actually came on, cheering for the band members as they came on stage to check their levels, and more subdued for the first half of the set, refraining from mosh pits and crowd surfing entirely, despite the cutthroat wave of people trying to get as far forward as possible, crushing me and the others in the second row. The crowd turned around when the band played “Medicine Square Garden,” my favorite song of the Frank Iero solo era, and the crowd surfing became nearly constant. It was almost dangerous; I saw someone get kicked in the face, and I wrenched my shoulder trying to hoist a crowd surfer into security’s arms. The band had middling audience interaction, somewhere between Rise Against and Glassjaw, but the crowd would’ve gone wild with or without it, so in love were they with the band.

Despite knowing very few songs by Against Me!, I was amped to see them. I caught their set at Wicker Park Fest last year and live close enough to Laura Jane Grace that, in theory, I could pass her on the street. After the Future Violents set and, you know, the other two days of Riot Fest, I thought it might be prudent for me to chill in the back of the crowd and not fight my way into the pit, especially since I was not prepared to sing along. Despite the fact that this was also a packed set -- the band was playing not one but two big-ticket albums, Reinventing Axl Rose and Transgender Dysphoria Blues, and this was after they had played two albums the night before -- the band took their time between songs for Laura to reiterate that Riot Fest was her favorite festival two or three times, and their set was even over early. A well-oiled machine of punk rock, they drove through the albums with finesse, excellent musicianship, and help from the screaming crowd. The only weird thing about the set was that, halfway through, a chunk of people peeled away to go see the B-52s, which wasn't about Against Me! but about how Riot Fest schedules their acts. I've known for some time that I need to know way more about Against Me!, but after having the time of my life singing along to "True Trans Soul Rebel," which is one of the handful of their songs I remember, I know that next time an opportunity comes around for me to catch one of their sets, I'm going to be ready. 

This was where my Riot Fest adventure ended for the weekend. I had intended to check out Taking Back Sunday, but when faced with the choice between sticking around and getting home at midnight only to wake up for work at five the next morning, I made the choice that got my blistered feet out of my brand new Docs faster. I regret that on and off, but I had experienced so many things in three days that I am still overwhelmed by it. In trying to remember even my favorite sets from Riot Fest, I just get a blur of things in my mind: reaching over the barricade for a setlist, holding up crowd surfers, feeling like I was about to cry and laughing like a freak with adrenaline; meeting eyes with performers, shaking hands with new friends, waiting for unfortunate amounts of time to fill my crumpled water bottle so I could turn it into cherry Pedialyte. There's a reason why people from all over come to Riot Fest, and it's that, within that blur of memories, I know I had the best time of my life. I'm already looking forward to next year's lineup.

Riot Fest | Chicago, IL | September 2017

[loveguts]

posting my riot fest experience and just getting my thoughts out for anyone who’s curious

so i got there at around noon-ish with my two brothers + my older brothers wife (side note but if you’ve seen me talk about being the oldest child i didn’t grow up with my older half brother and didn’t really know him until i was like 17 but we’re close now. not related to anything just felt like i needed to clear that up LMAO)

anyways, this was me and my younger brother’s first concert ever but my older brother and his wife have gone to a lot. immediately we noticed that it seemed weirdly disorganized. it might’ve just been the direction we walked from, but we ended up in the area that you were supposed to go through after getting you’re wrist band, because that was just the flow of the area if that makes sense? but none of us had wrist bands, we thought that they would scan the tickets from our phones. none of the staff pointed this out to us or even told us where to go to get the wrist bands, we just found some random guy and asked what was going on (who was actually helpful)

if you’ve seen anything about security/metal detectors being fucked, they’re 100% true. my brother had a backpack that wasn’t searched at all and i didn’t have to empty my pockets or anything. i went through with a metal water bottle and i don’t think it even went off? my older brother got patted down for some reason but i have no idea why they chose only him and let the rest of us in our group just go through.

we got VIP passes for the lockers and the air conditioned bathrooms. there was a merch stand, the bathrooms, an area to get alcohol, and three different food trucks. we were only in lines from noon-4:00 and they were long but didn’t move too slowly at all. the merch situation was a little weird because they advertised a lot of shit that they had, but didn’t actually have all of it. my younger brother tried to buy a button and they told him he had to go to the main tent for that. also they were already running out of sizes and it was 1:30 at that point. i have no idea if that’s typical for merch stands at concerts and festivals though.

i thought it was weird the VIP area didn’t have their own water station. there was one water fountain and the line basically stretched around the entire area by the time it was 4:00-4:30. if there was a water refill area beyond that one water fountain, it wasn’t easy to find at all because i definitely didn’t see one. i do know that there was a water refill spot not in the VIP area, near the carnival rides, but i don’t know if there were any others besides that one. the line for it was long but it moved quickly but we also didn’t wait in it past like, 4:30.

side note about the carnival rides: you had to pay for ride tickets on top of everything else. that annoyed the shit out of me honestly. idk why i wasn’t expecting that but like goddamn it’s like $100+ to even get in here.

i’m not sure if VIP tickets got you your own area for the stages?? i think i saw some people mention it but we had no idea about that so we were just in the general concert area.

we headed towards the stage that mcr would be playing at around 5:00-ish because my brother wanted to see taking back sunday, and i wanted to try and get close for mcr, and the crowd was fine up until it was almost time for taking back sunday. that’s when people started shoving and pushing us to take our spot and just generally being dicks. things got fucking insane once tbs started, i had to link arms with my younger brother to keep from getting separated. it was cramped and a little rowdy where we were, but overall tolerable. we got separated from our older brother and his wife, but we could still see them. there were a few assholes in our area but most of the people around us were really considerate. i’m 5’0 and there were taller people letting me step in front of them so i could see. when the crowd started to get chaotic, these girls behind me and my brother held onto my brother really tightly so he wouldn’t get separated from me. there was another girl there who i got slammed into and i apologized and she said “it’s ok i’ll protect you with my life” lmao. there was another taller guy who asked me and this other shorter person if we were doing okay with the heat and told us to point our heads up if the heat was getting to be too much because the air was cooler. the crowd around us was quick to react if someone wasn’t feeling well or went down.

in between tbs and mcr they let another band play on the adjacent stage. it was set up like one stage on the left, one stage on the right, and a screen in the middle. tbs and mcr played on the right but the band in between played on the left (i don’t remember their name and i feel really bad about it but at that point i was very stressed and lightheaded so i wasn’t paying much attention). the crowd was calmer in my area at that point but very packed and uncomfortable. iirc the sun also hadn’t completely set at that point so it was still hot. i was having trouble breathing but i think it was my anxiety and the heat getting to me because i knew that the crowd was going to go fucking insane when mcr came out and i kept thinking about the astroworld disaster.

when mcr came out the push was fucking insane, and then when they started playing foundations there were parts where i was pretty sure i wasn’t even on the ground. my younger brother and i got separated from my older brother and his wife again, but this time we literally had no idea where they even went. my younger brother was just holding onto my other brother’s life for dear life with enough force that she was like “one of us is going to break our wrist” but they ended up getting separated anyways. i was holding onto my younger brother but a girl needed to get through to get out so i let go of his arm so she could get through, and that’s when we got separated.

na na na was definitely the most wild part of the night for me. i remember looking to the side and seeing this guy start fucking moshing and slamming into everyone in the already packed area which caused a domino effect of us all getting tossed like a fucking salad. i had more than one person significantly larger than me get slammed into me and if the people behind me weren’t steady we all probably would have fallen. it definitely felt like one or two people near us started it and we all just got sucked into it because of how packed it was. honestly it was kind of fun for me so maybe i’d like moshing lmao but i can definitely understand why it would have been overwhelming and scary. it was very scary for me despite also being kind of fun because of how uncontrolled it was. there was one part where i felt like i couldn’t breathe but the people around me cleared quickly when i yelled i couldn’t breathe and that helped a lot.

after na na na, that’s when gerard started telling us to step back and it definitely got better after that where i was. i was able to find my younger brother and by the end of the show we even had a lot of room to stand and not be crammed into the person next to us. two crowd surfers got dropped next to us, one of them seemed frantic and needed to get back up so i hope they were okay. the other person just wanted to crowd surf and when they got dropped next to us, they tried to start a pit but none of us were really having it.

overall it was definitely much more of a positive experience for me than a negative one, and most of the people around me weren’t assholes which really helped.

exiting wasn’t horrible for us because we exited through the VIP area. there were a lot of people trying to exit through the VIP gates and security wouldn’t let them which was so stupid to me because they literally only had one other exit.

if you heard that gerard had to tell us to move back after every song, that’s true. it’s also true that their manager juice had to come out and tell us to move back and apologize to the person next to us. i’ve seen a lot of people say there was booing when they did that, but i definitely didn’t hear any booing from where i was, i actually heard a lot of cheering. but yeah mcr handled it really well, they did seem really stressed from what i heard/saw.

anyways yeah that’s about it and i hope everyone there wasn’t badly injured and had fun despite all the chaos

Celebrating 15 Years of Riot Fest

Although I did not attend Riot Fest Chicago this year, I want to take a moment a celebrate Riot Fest as they embark on their 15th year of rioting in the summer (through music, that is).

The Riot Fest is an annual 3-day music fest that showcases alternative rock, punk, hip hop and some occasional indie pop acts. Between 2005 and 2011, the fest took place at various venues throughout Chicago and was indoors. The list of musical acts grew as the fest gained popularity, and eventually the fest moved outdoors in 2012 to one single location. The name was changed slightly to Riot Fest and Carnival, with rides, sideshows, games, and food vendors found all throughout the festival grounds in Humboldt Park until 2014. In 2015, Riot Fest and Carnival moved to Douglas Park, where it continues to take place annually every second weekend of September.

Below is a collection of my favorite photos I took on film during Riot Fest 2011-2018:

Thanks for reading! Let me know what your favorite memories are from Riot Fest or any other music fest down below in the comments!

[rebelliousmagazine]

In the world of music festivals, it’s a sad but true reality that male artists almost exclusively dominate the headlining slots. When Bikini Kill led a massive “Rebel Girl” singalong during their Riot Stage-closing set at Riot Fest on Sunday, Sept. 15 – the third and final day of the Douglas Park-based punk, rock and metal bonanza – it was clear that women, both on stage and in the crowd, were more than ready to rage in the spotlight.

Early on in Bikini Kill’s set, front-woman Kathleen Hanna – who color coordinated her pink and metallic ensemble with her environmentally friendly reusable water bottle – asked cisgendered white men to notice all the space they were taking up before thanking the male feminists in the crowd for “how cool” they were going to be this “whole f*cking show.” A seething rendition of “Demirep” followed with Hanna howling the defiant lyrics as bassist Kathi Wilcox, drummer Tobi Vail – who also served as lead vocalist elsewhere in the performance – and new guitarist Erica Dawn Lyle thrashed through the two-minute fire-starter.

Songs like “Carnival,” “Alien She” and “Double Dare Ya” also resinated with the crowd during what was Bikini Kill’s first Chicago show in over two decades.

Throughout the night, Hanna took time out to share observations, reflections and hopes with fans, old and new, venting about how the highs and lows of these “troubled times” can lead to exhaustion. However, when a crowd full of Bikini Kill fans come together, optimism rules the day. The front woman pointed out that she felt great seeing “this many people together, who [she’s] hoping want to change the f*cking world and make the world a better place and take this country back.” Hanna quickly adjusted her statement to factor in that taking the country back may be a bit of a reach as rich people have always owned the land. The ensuing track, “Reject All American,” utterly decimated any remaining concept of the American dream.

Prior to Bikini Kill’s headlining slot on the Riot Stage, punk’s poet laureate Patti Smith performed a set that was at once vulnerable, empowering and beautiful, while still offering insight into the state of the world and revealing how the past and the future are never far apart. A poignant take on “People Have the Power” – during which Smith listed a number of collective powers including the power to dream, the power to vote, the power to strike and the power to love – kicked off the performance.

“After the Gold Rush,” “Are You Experienced?” and “Beds Are Burning” were among the covers that Smith and her group made their own while “Because the Night” and “Gloria” perfectly concluded the set.

In honor of Bikini Kill’s epic return, Riot Fest scheduled a lineup exclusively comprised of female-fronted acts on the Riot Stage on Sunday. Skating Polly and The Beaches warmed things up in the early afternoon and Against Me! celebrated two of their most beloved albums by performing Reinventing Axl Rose and Transgender Dysphoria Blues back-to-back.

Against Me! front-woman Laura Jane Grace called Riot Fest her favorite festival right out of the gates, doubling down later in the set with dedications and thank yous to the bands, fans, behind-the-scenes crew and the entire Riot Fest team.

“Thank you, Riot Fest,” said Grace. “It is incredible to be a part of this thing.”

Grace kept the stage banter to a minimum, allowing each full album performance to unfold with increasing momentum. Fans across the field screamed the lyrics to Reinventing Axl Rose favorites “Pints of Guinness Make You Strong,” “We Laugh at Danger (And Break All the Rules)” and “Scream It Until You’re Coughing up Blood.” “Baby, I’m an Anarchist!” found crowd members swaying side-to-side and “8 Full Hours of Sleep” proved to be the calm before the storm of anthemic songs shared from Transgender Dysphoria Blues.

The album’s title track, “True Trans Soul Rebel,” “Unconditional Love,” and “Dead Friend” were all played with the ferocity of an encore. Each song found Drummer Atom Willard delivering an athletic onslaught of rhythmic fury, while Grace’s intensity encouraged fans to have the time of their lives from the start of the set to the cathartic conclusion of “Black Me Out.”

Elsewhere at Riot Fest, Cherry Glazerr kicked off the Rise Stage fun on Saturday with their unique brand of grungy punk while Caroline Rose’s alternative sounds were bathed in self-deprecating sarcasm on Friday. Save Ferris‘ Sunday afternoon set and a Saturday performance from The Selecter gave ska fans a chance to skank it up in Douglas Park. Pvris, The B52s and Chicago’s-own Ganser also delivered crowd-pleasing sets at Riot Fest 2019.

Riot Fest was held in Douglas Park from Sept. 13 to Sept. 15. More information about the punk party can be found at Riotfest.org.

Riot Fest & Carnival, Chicago, IL, September 12, 2013 📸Teresa Burke

Riot Fest 2018 Wrap Up This was my 6th consecutive year at Riot Fest and it was another wonderful event. (See my three previous postings for day-by-day write-ups.)

Scheduling and Event This was a crazy year for Riot Fest. They released the first wave line up in a timely manner. However, the schedule and additional bands were delayed until about a week before the event. (Schedule was released about four weeks before the event last year.) Worse, Riot Fest kept silent during the delay which led to questions and speculation about the event possibly being cancelled. Part of the issue was headliner Blink-182 backing out late in the game. However, my guess is that it had more to do with money issues. They did not sell single day passes until the schedule was released. They gave away free tickets at a White Sox game on Riot Fest night and they were selling tickets on Groupon. So maybe ticket sales were slow or they had other financial problems. Judging by attendance, it looked as well attended as ever. Perhaps many people bought last minute tickets either waiting for single day passes or maybe holding out to see if the weather would be good. Despite the late schedule, the planning was all in place and from my perspective, the event went off without a hitch. They also did provide free tickets to make up for a Ticketfly breach in security.

Weather This was an outstanding weather weekend, especially taking into consideration all the rain we have had in the Chicago area in late August and early September. While there were some rain and mud issues the first three years I attended (2013, ’14 & ’15), the last three years have been great; no rain and lots of sunshine. This year, it was a little warm and the sun was intense, forcing me to sometimes forgo being close to a stage in order to get out of the sun for awhile. Temps were low to mid 80’s, which was not quite as warm as last year when they were mid to upper 80’s.

Stages The fourth year in Douglas Park, and the second year with five stages. 88 bands this year, two less than last year. As I mentioned last year, I do miss having two small stages side-by-side. Most of the early sets on the small stages are just 30 minutes. So with two stages, I would sometimes get to see four bands in two hours up close. With one stage, there is some down time between acts.

Time Other than a couple minutes here or there, set times started an ended on time

Services Three water stations this year was a big improvement although the water pressure was not as good as last year, so filling a bottle went a bit slower. However, there was usually little or no wait for water.  Clean up crews were excellent. The hand sanitizer stations did not run out and the port-o-potties were mostly in good shape. (One lady, holding the door for me as I entered a port-o-potty as she was exiting said to me, “That’s the cleanest port-o-potty I’ve been in all weekend.”) Plenty of Chicago’s Finest were on hand, but I saw no trouble at all during the fest.

Drinks Plenty of beer tents and beer vendors walking around. The only tent with draft beer is the All Rise tent which I frequented frequently. (Sounds like I’m from the department of redundancy department.) It is conveniently located in the central area of the grounds. There was tent selling vodka drinks and a Dos Equis bar area, but I did not stop by either.

Food Lots of good local vendors. I had the pulled pork with mac and cheese from Reggies two of the days and a Cuban sandwich the other day. All was very good.

Amusements & Shopping The carnival rides, circus tent and merchandise vendors are always around, but I spent little or no time in those areas.

Exercise – According to my phone, I walked an average of 5.5 miles per day.

CTA Mostly good but I did wait for a Pink Line train for close to 20 minutes on the way back on Sunday. I don’t know why CTA does not increase the amount of trains on that line during Riot Fest.

Neighborhood I enjoyed walking through the Douglas Park area in the old West Side neighborhood of Lawndale.  Upon arrival each day, I walked up California Avenue on the edge of Little Village, and when returning each evening, I would walk down Kedzie Ave. through the South Lawndale neighborhood. I can’t say that this a neighborhood that I would normally walk through on a weekend night, but I do love getting a pedestrian glimpse of the area when I can.

Crowd The Riot Fest crowd is always awesome. I did not see anyone that was causing trouble or that looked over-the-top wasted. Just a great community of “Punks” hanging together for three days of music and fun.

Style Riot Fest is always a potpourri of Punk styles, or just about any style and some crazy costumes. When kicking back in the shade for awhile, part of the fun is people watching. To see some of the fashions and costumes, go to the Riot Fest web site and check out the “People of Riot Fest” photo gallery.

Thanks!!! Reiterating from last year, I want to say thanks to all the bands that came to our fine city. Thanks to all the park maintenance crews, vendors, paramedics, and security, and much thanks to the Chicago Police and Fire Departments. Thanks also to Mayor Emanuel and the Lawndale City Council members for their cooperation and support. Thanks to St. Anthony Hospital and Mount Sinai Hospital for their three days of tolerance and for their dedication to caring for people. And most of all, thanks to the Douglas Park neighbors for allowing us “Rockers” to take over your park for 3 days during one of the finest seasonal times of the year in Chicago.

~:: *Still-Summer* ::~

It’s more the flier I found cool. For this line-up, no budging here, but Sept. 27-30 it’ll still be a “grassfed” great time on the river!

This year’s “West Indian Labor Day Parade” weekend got a HUGE boost w/this “Soca Rave” happening Fri, August 31 (T&T Independence Day) in Sunset Park, BK! And guess who’s hosting? :)

In its 7th year, the Hiero Day Festival has come upon us. In Oakland, CA of course. It’s Sat, Sept. 3rd, but go here so you can save some chedda for what B-Real’s now selling!

Photographer, Chi Modu has some snaps for U to check out: “UNCATEGORIZED” before Sept. 23, so if you’re in LA -- no excuses. U already missed the opening, so head on down to HVW8 Plana.

Off The 405 is The Getty Museum’s Summer Series, where you travel near the sky on a tram up to the multi-million ‘Getty’ premises (FREE) to enjoy a courtyard concert w/bars n’ eye candy galore. Also, FREE.  Vagabond’s (below) their next guest performer on Sat, Sept 15.

“ROCK RUBBER 45s” is a cinematic odyssey exploring the connectivity of global basketball, sneaker, and music lifestyle through the firsthand lens of authentic NYC culture orchestrator Bobbito García. RSVP to watch it (like below) outdoors in the Bronx!

This is Brooklyn’s finest -- well refined, tested + proven, neighborhood vibe/sound. When EyeSpy crew meets the Wonderground Sound massive, no sparks, just drippin’ sweat. Sun, Sept. 2 from 3-10p. It’s a backyard BBQ, outdoors son. Besides, U won’t hear too much, or any of this for that matter. OK, maybe 1 or 2...

Joining label mates Lonely C n’ Midnight Hour on this Soul Clap Records Revue Tour, are Underground System w/their new video, “Nmani” + hot “Go” mix-up business, jambalaya single.

And if you’re in Europe -- and if you’re feeling her “Echo”, singer GNUCCI might be a great show to check out, let’s say an upgrade to your typical circuit of singers you’ve seen 3 n’ 4 times..

Aug 30 Berghain, Berlin Gnučči • Amber Valent • Rosalie. • Berlin

You’d be a goul not to visit this eerie, yet artsy “Potoprens” exhibit in Red Hook, if you’re in for a true display of ‘darkness’ in Brooklyn. Expertly curated, Pioneer Works is the venue, and voodoo’s on the menu.

OK kids, it’s on again -- Tyler, The Creator’s “Camp Flog Gnaw” Carnival - for 2 days (Nov. 10-11) in LA @Dodger Stadium.
