#CHICAGO MAY 17TH MAKE UP SHOW !!!!!!
1 messages · Page 4 of 1
i know the tour is packed and busy but i dunno, maybe I have too high hopes he can figure something out for us :C
I haven't listened to any porter songs lmao. I don't hate him, im just bummed out and listening to him right now reminds me of the disappointment i felt lol
yeah it's gonna be a min for me to listen without being sad haha, unfold (which is my fav song in the entire world) came on shuffle today and I dramatically had to skip it (which i never do!! lol) 
love porter still tho ofc i just cry easily hahahaha ❤️
I know it's for safety reasons and we just have to suck it up. Sucking it up is the hard part after looking forward to its ever since announcement.
I just hope he would address it more or at very least let us know if he plan on coming back 😂
My demanding ahh is a bit not satisfied with the long message he posted
agreed! yeah! haha
LITERALLY
Porter Weston Robinson if you can hear us…
Listened to Nurture and Smile to make sure I remembered every word
I think we all did the same thing 😂
Yeah

Yeah true it'd be awesome if he could find a way to reschedule it for another weekend or something but I agree, safety comes first but it still didn't make me less bummed 
Hopefully he comes back on a weekend or sometime so I can see him!! If I didn't have classes I'd try to get to st louis for tomorrow
There will always be more opportunities yall!! Porter does so many performances so we're bound to see him one day
Coping so hard u have no idea
Well actually u do 
I do 

We need some coppinson
So true
The hype I felt night before and morning of was something else I was just like "get me thru classes" all day only to learn right before my last class of the day it got cancelled
I learned while in my last class 😭

It was a zoom class with the camera on
I'm sure some of my classmates saw me and my friends losing it in the bg
Literally me

This was like the only opportunity this year tho cause the only other time I could realistically go is duing a winter break or smthn and he'll be in another country by then
Praying he'll resched or do something for lolla or something like some other ppl were saying

I impulse bought a st Louis ticket
But I had no way of going
So I sold it to someone else here
They're gonna get me tour merch 
Ayy nice nice
If the stl one was on a weekend then I'd def get some tix and try to go cause most of my family lives there
But ofc it has to be on a monday!! 🙂
It's ok ik I'm malding super hard rn but there will be another opportunity in the future eventually, hopefully 

If a reschedule/new date happens, I wanna be there with y’all. I haven’t been to Chicago in years and it would be such a fun reason to go back.
I’m for sure bringing the porter scam text picture for him to sign if he does
Tbh I don't know if or when he would reschedule it. He's got a world tour rn it's not just the us
It would be awesome if he did but it wouldn't be for like another 6-7 months
if he does I will wait however long 💪🥹💗
Copped myself a large smile hoodie because I couldn't get one for... obvious reasons
Tbf the merch on the site is different than the show merch but I didn't get any show merch
I like the online stuff more
This was gonna be my first concert lmao
how can i SMILE! :D when CHICAGO SEP 27 MEETUP!!!!!! was cancelled D:
do we like the new title
I can see him coming back for a festival next year North Coast or Beyond but most likely NC
Ye
The new title is so real
me too haha
comes Friday 🫶✌️
Oh wow a title change
sadly it says my order won't ship for 10-12 weeks... lol
mine too but it shipped out today! (I ordered Friday night haha)
I think that was only for the peeps who preordered it and they just haven’t updated it yet (probs!)
damn
jk i lied it shipped out yesterday (i doubled checked my email), so if u ordered it today it probs will ship out tomorrow for u!!!!
Augh my friend that went to the Mpls porter concert got me 1 piece of confetti. He wasn't close enough to the stage to get the heart shaped ones I'm so sad
Freaky machine would go hard
feel so clean like a freaky machine
"We freaky on you,we freaky on you"
we’ll go freaky on you
Ayoooo
WHAT
Yes

I had a dream where porter robinson was mean to me
Nooooo
So rude
Never listening to him again
Imma grow my hair
Imma blow my cash
Oh you mean Beyond Wonderland? That would be amazing, I’d 100% go again to see him. Went there for Rezz this summer and had a great time (except for the first day when I wore sandals like a dingus and had to slog through the ankle deep mud)
Same location as where he would’ve performed Friday 🥲 but north coast fits better for his show.
Ikr… Northerly Island is cool but it is kinda dicey having a venue right on the lake bc the weather is so crazy over there. I used to be a dog walker near the lakefront, and sometimes I’d have to scoop the little dogs up before the wind took them 😭
congrats yall are so back
we back 
WERE SO BACK
SOMEONE RENAME THE THREAD
CHICAGO MAY 17TH MAKE UP SHOW !!!!!!
Dang saturday is tough for me. But im glad roBEANson is happening again
very happy for y'all, not gonna go but this is so sick for him to do
with frost children 🙏🏼
I’m very happy for you guys at Chicago
Isnt may a bit too early to gather up everyone again
CONGRATS CHICAGO
Im from Illinois and moved to indy and i was so sad for my illinoisians when yours got canceled
I hope you guys have the best time ever
REDEMPTIONNNNNNNN
PLS CHEAP FLIGHTS
LETS GOOOOOOO
Yay make up show I get to see him twice 🥳
oughhhh the flights aren't too bad.....
AYOOOO WE'RE BACK
HI GUYS
||Y'all gonna have them come out for Mona Lisa like in NYC||
omg omg omg i think i will have to fly from nyc
i just flew to amsterdam to see him and he had the flu so i think i need a makeup show lol
me 2!!!! lemme know if u find any sick deals
i flew to copenhagen to see him are we the same person
RIP people who buy a premium ticket:
are u going??
IDK. Likely not.
ahhh darn
OH MY GOOD
bringing the speaker on the walk to the navy yard on nye was such a vibe u were so real for that
Main issues really being transportation and finding a place to stay
Flying from NYC. booking as we speak!
Also not helping matters is that I'm seeing Kendrick and SZA at MetLife the week before and that already cost me an arm and a leg.
oh no if you and jazz are going im cooked in terms of saving money on this show
Yes!! Gonna go
fuck it we ball
omg thats so funny haha. did you go at forest hills?
if any ny'ers find sick flight deals lemme know
forst hills + nye + copenhagen 
i did forest hills & amsterdam but have a lifelong promise to myself not to go out on nye lol so i missed that one
and amsterdam was good but he was sick and skipped a bunch of songs, and while im mostly just glad he didnt cancel, id loooove to see the smile tour again lol
is it 17+??
Gotta go request the time off 
💔💔
@stoic quiver
The Ticketmaster page doesn't say anything about an age limit, though the venue's FAQ states that all minors need a parent or guardian for all-ages shows.
I’m at work right now so I’ll take care of it tonight
yeah he just got sick in stockholm, was pretty sick in copenhagen, I was really glad to see Amsterdam didn't get canceled for u all
GOOD TY TY
I would love to do a Chicago offkai and have a large meet up the day before the show, would be lovely
Since the weather will be nice
Aw that would be neat!
NYE meetup and meeting ppl was the highlight of the nye show so count me in
We could just listen to Porter or go eat!
I’ll organize it closer to the date
That way we don’t have to rush to the venue
And anyone is welcomed to join
is anyone bringing beads 😢
i never got my bracelet thing last time because we’ll
it got canceled
im literally sitting outside in the sun wearing a porter robinson tshirt right now and i feel like my whole day got turned around lol
it was such a blah day before
Forest Hills was amazing
agreed, it was one of the most incredible shows ive ever seen
I’d love to trade kandi!
I just had two good job interviews, and it’s finally feeling like spring. This news turned my day from good to great.
sad that my partner might not be able to go, and neither will my friends...
BUT THAT'S NOT STOPPING ME AT ALL. I'LL BE THEREEEE
maybe, i’ve never done it b4 though lol
i still gotta see if me and my friend are able to go, waiting on the age limit thing lol
If I find a decent flight I will be there and I will have lots of trinkets
my partner wasnt sure at first if she could make it and i would have felt weird going without her because it is literally her dream to go to chicago haha. but luckily we worked out a plan
how much yall think premium will go for?
everyone just so happens to be busy on that day lmao
tbh VIP is mostly about early entry if offered + if they have the hat
Other than that GA for life 🗣️🗣️🗣️
i couldnt make it to a single one of his usa dates after nyc. i had a conflict for every single one somehow lol. but may 17 is wide open for me thank god
I go
🙏🙏HEY SKYE
we are so back
did u already go and see porter?
yeah yeah you better be going
I WILL HOPEFULLY
oh shit the venue is right off the clybourn metra
WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!!!!
WE'RE SO BACK
I’m going to go VIP because I want rail for a US show
Or premium if they have no VIP so I can be on the balcony
honestly me too if it isn’t expensive
im gonna try so hard lmao
Premium is off to the side though:
Place is gonna be full of weebs lol
it’s the balcony on the side
Dang cant be on this show. But im glad porter did a redemption show. Enjoy lads
Ah got it
No seriously this had to be intentional
Well we have a lot of time to make them now!
public transportation
LETS GOO
Oh hi!
OH YES
Chicago we are so back
The salt shed is such a nice venue too YIPPEE
I still have some Kandi bracelets from the first round :( but I'll be making more!!
Two days before i go to japan but i’m sending it
Fancy seeing you here!
My wife and I are going we were both ecstatic when the news dropped that its not a festival set hahahahahah
That’s sick, what a week!
Definitely will be a lot of driving but stoked!
wait for real? is it worth going to? idk about any major expos
ACen is pretty fun and there's lots to see, especially if you only go for a day
Honestly artist alley and dealer's hall you can probably spend a whole day in
LETS GOOOOO WE'RE SO BACK
SAYING WORDS HERE TO GIVE NOTIFS
man im so glad I didnt use my seatgeek refund on anything
Prayers have been answered 🙏
LMFAO
especially since they give 110% back in ticket price so unless the salt barn is in the business of robbery i'll probably only have to pay like $8
-# bar transportation and merch but we'll get there when we get there
me when anime boy scientifically finds out how to extract more money out of me with merch
[7u¢<ING FINALLY]
[WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG]
[?!?!!!!]
after amsterdam, i think i need to wear something like this to chicago 😂
also this
he didnt do it in copenhagen either?
he brought it back basically every show after amsterdam. not cologne i dont think. but every single one after
he didnt play it in amsterdam, cologne, copenhagen, maybe more
he also skipped everything to me
he also said in amsterdam that he was supposed to skip easier to love you but he did it anyway
well because it's the makeup one i have a feeling he'll be more likely to play every song
in amsterdam, i made my partner stand in a super crowded spot with me and said "we'll move back and find somewhere less crowded after yotc" lmao. then next thing i know, the nurture birds are chirping 😭😭😭
she was like "he might still play it!" and im like "definitely not lol, dont you hear all these birds"
Did anything replace those songs or were some of his europe sets just shorter?
im hoping! i made custom yotc jeans that took literally a month lol. and hopefully this time i can wear them and hear yotc
not in amsterdam. he was sick 😦
|| a little shorter and mostly just filled with some more talking and him doing fun stuff like letting people throw the sticks at the balls ||
Interesting
we got to reinflate paws in amsterdam lol. i guess that took some time
i feel like ive spammed these all over discord lol so apologies to anyone seeing them for the 100th time
they're mirror too
seconded!!!!
Those are so cool!!! Mirror is one of my favorites
thank you! 💕💕💕 i loooooove mirror
Wondering if anyone in Chicago would be interested in hosting a pre or post-show little music house party…I have a live show rig or could potentially do DJ stuff and that could be really fun!! If anyone has any thoughts or interest in that maybe we should get something planned??
I live over in Wisco so unfortunately I don’t have any connections in Chicago hahaha!
all i need to be happy is to see the balloon that is currently my pfp everywhere but discord (blame @paper raft for that one)
easily my top 5 favorite images of all time
everyone say thank you mario (this announcement was on his day after all, so nice of him to let us porter fans eat)
i'd love to see em irl, but just be careful flying into or out of the USA because of reasons i shan't repeat here
I CANT BELIEVE HE IS COMING BACK FOR US IM THROWING UP
Literally shaking in my boots
I haven't been on a plane since I was a small child but I am very much considering flying to chicago
are you in the US?
Mhm
don't fly
the FAA is fucked
go on a roadtrip
I dont havea license or car :(
get a license on principle, then see if renting a car would be cheaper than flight
you live in the land of "just one more lane", a driver's license is par for the course
https://www.dadschicago.com/about/
Hit these guys up? It’s a great little DIY space. They specialize in electronic music and interactive art installations.
Oo i’ll look into that thank you! If people would be interested in actually attending (please lmk!!) that might be something worthwhile to plan lol obviously having another artist/dj or two could be really cool too
That would be sick of course I’m down
I have to fly because I don’t drive. I’ll start praying
Oh!! I was just talking to a friend about planning another porter discord meet-up
I do have a friend of a friend who DJs, I can see if they know of any places?
Yesss please let the offkai happen
But D.A.D.S. looks legit
That would be so sick!! I’d love a space that could accommodate a live show set up if possible but if necessary just DJing could work too (or a mix of the two)
I’ve been going there for like 8 years (holy shit) and it’s always a good time. They used to have a hot tub in the living room—RIP, as you can guess it did not survive the pandemic and is now a ball pit.
i live in the usa! i didn't have any issue flying with them for amsterdam but now im worried theres something on them that isnt tsa approved? although i cant think what lol
Do you know the folks who run it personally?
More a friend of a friend thing
It's in Bridgeport too, love that neighborhood
Oh god I have to go get my ID swapped to a Real ID to fly domestically
The cut off is May 
It's a bit further away from salt shed but is it still accessible by cta?
To say the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was gutted since Trump became president would be an understatement. There’s a lot more danger to flying anywhere near the US because of it
Not saying “don’t go”, just “be aware of the increased risk”
I suppose
oooooh haha i interpreted that as tsa will confiscate my pants and for some reason, i was more worried about that. yeah it's all a mess
LOL no your pants are safe
I got flagged flying home from Japan to the US in February for extra security

If we were to hold a lil show before, what time would you guys be interested in?? I’m thinking since it is a saturday, it could be good if it was like early afternoon so there would be enough time for us to wrap up and still get to the venue well before doors?
lol my partner smuggled tulips home and we were nervous but the tulips made it. we also spent a while on a farm so we were nervous at customs when they asked about livestock
Me when I draw thing
Oh yeah doors at 5 that’s very early
That makes sense
TIL the salt shed is just a stone’s throw away from my elementary school
protein couldn’t have picked a better venue for me specifically if he tried
hey besties
Fellas, I'm gonna make it. And I'm bringing the porter scam text picture I made a long time ago too!!!!!
Had to sacrifice my Senior Prom for this concert
the what
thats fkucing hilarious
Pulling up in an orange suit to this show due to sacrificing my Senior Prom
gonna be fire
I'm gonna try my best to get the porter scam text picture signed by him
my prediction for porter smile chicago concert
- Spitfire full album playthrough
- 100% in the bitch beatbox
- Dullscythe
- Nurture part
- SMILE! part
- Worlds part
- Fresh Static Snow 2019 live edit
- 100% in the bitch beatbox again
- madeon comes out and does a flip
- Shelter
Goated setlist
porter then leaves for 10 minutes and comes back & plays the first chord of sad machine and then ends the show there
Sent you a dm!
Yes I wanna do VIP!
I’ll see what’s offered on Weds and then book a flight !
i might join you then :) jason wants to go too so maybe we can all meet up! vip was fun in seattle!
also shhh i’m not going to tell others for sure until i have everything booked LOL
YES PLEASEEEEEEE

I’m going to make an ita bag out of the same image I used for my flag
And bring both
Troll Dani is in full swing
YES HAHAHAHAHA PLEASE ILL BRING MY POSTER OF ME CRYING TOO
YES LETS DO THIS
omg can we please troll together it will be so funny
This moment is coming BACK
Oh absolutely!!!
YASSSSSSS HAHAHAHA OMG OKAY YAY
Whew got worried for a sec when I saw he wasn't on the North Coast lineup
I mean if he was doing a festival in Chicago it probably would have been at Lollapalooza
YEAH IM GONNA TRY !!!!! 🥹💕
WEEEE id love to meet up before or during or after or whenever!!!!!!!!!!
yes please i would love to meet you!!!!! we will make it happen 🥹💗💗💗💗
I will be attending !
So will there be VIP ticket tour packages again available for the Chicago show?
I couldn’t find any info on the venues website
We don’t know
I’m hoping for an after party dj set b2b with frost children would be so sick
Doors are at 5pm so it will be a super early show
Truuue
anyone here planning to cosplay as the cheerleader? I think it would be so fun to get a big ol group of us for a pic ‼️🩷 I made a replica sweatshirt by hand after the Chicago cancelation to cope and it would be very full circle lol
I'm also making a mountain of kandi to trade 🩷🙏
i'm thinking...
dare i say i'm considering...
im gonna need to make more paws perlers i think
Please don’t do this omg
Name checks out
I couldn’t believe my eyes. I thought they were trolling
Plus that’s a huge venue, it’s 5k???? You’ll be fine???
Some people just choose to be miserable like it’s a hobby
So yucky honestly
I love it when people fly in from other cities to shows. Like it’s a huge vibe, everyone partying together
Plus they’re from South America. They didn’t even get tour dates!
Me too! I love hearing the places people drove or flew from to come to share in the same experience as me! And yeah ESPECIALLY since they are from South America?? I do still have my fingers crossed he’ll do a leg there but regardless, that whole part of the community is feeling completely unsure of that and have no confirmation that they should just wait
Exactly! I just thought that was so awfully rude. You’ll be able to go. Like? People that want to go will get their tickets. 😂
Seriously. Anyone not scalping should be welcome. Ironically they threatened to do that LOL
Literally
can we gatekeep u/notmagnificent_22
LMAOOOOOOO
i
hi <3
Yeah, they likely based the venue booking process on how the original venue sold (which wasn’t that much since they had to reduce the capacity). For all we know they could have booked two nights and are waiting to announce the second date until this one sells out or ends up being on track to sell out to avoid a repeat of Boston (whose venue is about the same capacity) where a venue he could have easily sold out one night in ended up splitting the demand into two nights that didn’t sell out.
Yeah I also highly doubt that, but again who really knows?
nobody does lmao
I see that the new place is gonna be at salt shed anyone know how the parking is over there ?
when i tell you i openly sob at the nurture part every time… it is so beautiful. crying is also very okay and encouraged :)
...do i go to chicago to see porter as an end of semester treat
if tickets are under $200 i might
but i dont want to be alone LOL
...the train there and back is only $50
Definitely think tickets will be under $200! And some of us are talking of possibly doing a meetup and little mini pre-concert show if you want to meet up with some people beforehand 😊
ooo noted!!
the next train home isnt until tuesday so id have to stay in chicago for a couple days which would suck lol
chicago people, any insight on why hotels are insanely expensive specifically the weekend of may 17? they're like half the price the weekend before (may 10) AND the following weekend (may 24)
i know theres a hadestown performance that weekend
It was a but further back in the chat that I mentioned the idea so if anyone would be interested in something like that please drop a lil potaro react so I can have an estimate to give the venue I want to pitch to hahaha 
it’s a small concert and re run, previous tickets at this concert have been 80 to 150
is that when beyonce's concert is in chicago?
theyre basically out of my price range for may 17 specifically 😭 but im determined to make it work
i just checked, that is the same weekend as beyonce
Omg thats crazy
id assume thats contributing to hotel costs sadly
😭😭😭 theyre like $500 for a decent room that night. around $200 gets an okay room any other weekend
yeah my last chicago hotel was like 200 for a couple of nights
ill have to use some credit card points
yeah im looking at like hampton inns for $350, that is completely insane
i thought maybe it was too early to book for may, but then i see how cheap may 24 would be
man the last bus out of chicago to my local station is at 7pm lmao
id have to stay the night :/
Hoping to maybe split an airbnb either with some friends or folks from the community lol
what is up with these airbnbs having three bedrooms and only one bathroom??? id do it but my partner would not lol
Alright, well, I’m gonna have two months to sell off anything at all that I don’t need and work stupid hours to make this happen. 😭 I’m overdue for a deep clean-out anyway. It’ll be worth it. I WILL be there.
I WAS gonna try and come up to Chicago for Poppy next weekend, but…as much as I love her current album cycle, this show takes priority for me.
phew i found a hotel in my price range 😮💨 i went to the depths of the internet lol
DONT MISS POPPY how could you say such a thing
I’m psyched for that show I’ve been meaning to see her live for years
got vip for it and everything I will be getting there before anyone else
i work at wrigley field so i will gladly miss a day of the crosstown classic (some of the busiest days) in exchange for porter and post malone about a week later
Yikes lmao thank you for your service 🫡
it's a fun job most of the time
I can’t fathom working at any sports venue so imma echo katze with a huge thank you haha. I can see it being fun but also very overwhelming
I used to live near there, and my bike commute to work would be near impossible on game days lol
It’s a Lot
this'll be my 4th year, and certainly far from my last
we're going to the game on may 16!
I am a man of limited means and time. 🤣 Trust me, it really hurts me to do it. But between everything being announced this week, I can’t also then afford the 8-hour drive to Chicago.
Luckily she’s streaming her Denver show on Monday I think? So at least I can get drunk in my living room and watch that. YOU HAVE A BLAST.
yeah that’s fair then, that’s quite the trip, my drive is only an hour and a half 😭
sooo there’s a possibility i might attend the chicago show sooo hi chicago gang 
Upper deck Left Field Classics
See you there
Lets gooooo hi!!
about a 7 hour drive each way for me
not easy but it’s possible
especially if i split it up a bit
im taking like 2 friends and meeting up with tons more im so excite
gonna take tmmr off just to be there to get tix 😭
My plan is to hide in the bathroom at work to buy my ticket 
update: she’s streaming the Chicago show too 😭
it is for me too!
I SAW! I wasn’t sure whether she was streaming both or if I just got the shows mixed up. Either way, I’ll totally be there (in spirit via the stream)! For real, have an awesome time.
Fingers crossed for a second leg of shows at a more convenient time, because this album is impeccable.
i made a shirt for chicago lol
this is so cute wtf
I would die if he played sweet time
i should have added that too 😂
need him to play mirror more than i need oxygen in my lungs
I'm gonna try to make it, make it a little vacation. Any chicago natives have any recommendations to do while in town?
I would lose my shit completely.
I have warned my girlfriend I’ll be crying a lot lol especially during Russian Roulette
What kind of stuff are you into and how much time do you have?
I could write down some of my favorite spots for you guys
if he plays mirror I might die
- eat a Chicago dog (if I catch you putting ketchup on it I’m exiling you from the city myself)
- go to Millenium Park (only good non tourist trappy part of downtown tourist Chicago imo)
- go to the museums (I personally recommend Shedd Aquarium, the museum of Science and Industry and the Chicago History Museum)
- explore more of Chicago than just the loop
this rules
I have no idea what I’ll wear currently lmao
but obviously there’s lots of time to decide
? please respect my privacy.
??
im awful at time zones, is the presale at 11 am in nyc time?
Infodump of Chicago restaurants and destinations incoming:
A non-exhaustive, non-organized list of the best things to eat and do in Chicago, according to katze
Joong Boo Market - a Korean supermarket near the Belmont blue line station. They have a little restaurant in the back with the best kimchi jjigae ever, and a stand out front selling mandu the size of your face.
Kuro Ramen - cozy and cute ramen shop at Archer and Canal. Try the tornado potato!
Hotpot:
Happy Lamb - a chain hotpot restaurant with a buffet-style ingredients bar, so you can try a little of everything. There’s one at 32nd and Halsted.
Qiao Lin - a more upscale hotpot place, attached to the 88 Market shopping center.
Siam Thai - in Hyde Park, nice and cheap! They have a great lunch special. Get some fish cakes on the side.
The Snail - right next door, also Thai. A little more expensive, but their chive dumplings are amazing.
Chinese food:
Xi’an Cuisine - on Cermak, in Chinatown. If you’re vegetarian but still want to try authentic northern Chinese food, this is the place. Get the wheat gluten cold noodles (#82) and a tofu-seaweed flatbread. Some good “tapas” are tofu skin, boiled peanuts, or sour and spicy potato. They also have great carnivore options, such as the cumin lamb flatbread.
Uncle Zhang’s - on 31st St in Bridgeport. This is a good place to take a family or a group. I recommend their oxtails, eggplant with garlic sauce, cucumber salad, and lamb curry fried rice.
Chinatown food court - underground in the Richland Building at Wentworth and Cullerton. Try the Hainan chicken, get a crawfish boil, go nuts! There is a shop that sells meat skewers, whose name I’ve forgotten, that also makes a really good roasted eggplant.
Vietnamese food:
Pho 888 - don’t be fooled by Tank Noodle next door; this one is the real deal. (Also the owners of Tank Noodle went down for some large-scale wage theft a few years back, so I’m done with them.)
Ba Le - the best banh mi. Also try their chè pudding and macarons.
Deep dish:
Pequod’s - the only good one, at Webster and Clybourn up north. Perfectly crispy crust, cooked in a cast iron pan. They can be pretty busy though, so make a reservation.
Chicago hot dogs/delis:
Maxwell Street Depot - greasy, lightning-fast, perfect late night munchies. My favorite one is at 31st and Canal in Bridgeport. The Polish dog is great but the cheeseburger is a minimalist work of art—grilled onion, mustard, cheese, and maybe peppers is all you need.
Morry’s - in Hyde Park at 55th and Cornell. Try the Ultimate Reuben! Or my old standby hangover cure from college: a red Gatorade (the color of healing), a coffee with cream and sugar, and their meaty monstrosity of a breakfast sandwich, the Egg McMorry.
Salonica - Greek diner, also in Hyde Park, on 57th Street (near some good bookstores). Try the egg lemon soup, the moussaka, or the gyros.
[continued]
If you go downtown:
Bien Me Sabe Venezuelan Arepas - on Adams Street, just west of the Art Institute. Has some good options for veggie or meats.
What to do downtown:
The Art Institute - You might need to pick just one or two galleries to focus on, depending on how long your visit is, because it’s so huge. I love the Japanese art section.
The Shedd Aquarium - you can touch a sturgeon or a stingray!
The Museum of Surgical Science - dedicated to the history of medicine, i.e., all the weird and wacky ways we’ve tried to fix each other. Gnarly but interesting.
Lincoln Park Zoo - see some beasts.
Other stuff to do:
-Rent a Divvy bike and ride on the lakefront trail
-Go thrifting at the good Village Discount in Roscoe Village, or the good Unique in Bridgeport
-Go bowling at Diversey River Bowl
-Go shopping at the lil hipster boutiques and record stores in Wicker Park. Check out Myopic Books (massive used book store)
-Birdwatching and taco trucks in Humboldt Park
-Explore Rosehill Cemetery in Andersonville (a registered arboretum!)
-See ancient Middle Eastern art and sarcophagi at the Oriental Institute/Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures in Hyde Park
-Have a picnic at Ping Tom Park near Chinatown. You can rent kayaks there and take a trip to downtown and back on the Chicago River.
-Feed the ducks at Palmisano Park in Bridgeport (please bring peas or oats, not bread!)
-Peruse the Wasteshed! It’s a nonprofit “creative reuse” store, basically a thrift store for art supplies. I’ve found some really cool fabrics there. Locations in Evanston and Chicago (Humboldt Park).
-Garfield Park Conservatory is out west, with its own stop on the green line. They have a Fern Room that will make you feel like you’re in Jurassic Park.
also would love chicago recs! so far i have this list:
- butterfly yoga at the nature museum
- bunny cuddling
- cat arcade
- insect asylum with possoms

food & drinks ive found: little goat diner, king of cups (year of the cup lol), choppers, shabu rotary hot pot, dove's luncheonette, truce, chef's special cocktail bar, life on marz, pilot project brewing
i like animals, fancy cocktails, craft beer, fun food (but i don't eat hot dogs), nature, birds, walking/hiking, cemeteries, spooky things... i'm only there for three days haha but open to other ideas
thank you lol, ive googled it but was still paranoid
Omg you’re the goat
this is so helpful!!! thank you!
No problem!
If you’re looking for bars, Bernice’s in Bridgeport is really cheap, cozy, and friendly. Check their Insta for live music and events. https://www.instagram.com/bernicestavern?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
We have some great breweries out here, such as Off Color and Marz
Oh also Skylark is a good bar around here
im staying in bucktown, which looks like it has a lot of cute options
Oh yeah definitely
If you bike, check out the Bloomingdale trail! It’s an old elevated rail line that’s been turned into a cute little bike path.
Damn I forgot to mention bakeries! Saint Anna and Chiu Quon are the goats in Chinatown imo. Also if you need somewhere to sit and use the WiFi, the Chinatown library is beautiful.
Any brunch recommendations? We probably won’t have time to explore the city but the morning after definitely would like to get a nice breakfast!
Where about are you staying?
Oh good point LOL not sure yet!! Haven’t figured out that detail but probably should asap lol
So is the official place to buy tickets on his own website? Cause I can’t access it from my phone 😭
It’s gonna be Ticketmaster 💀
Oop
Thanks for the info 😭🙏
Anyone else waiting for ticket sales lol
Cat arcade is totally worth it. Montrose bird sanctuary can get busy on weekends (so, not as many birds) so try and go during an off peak time.
Graceland Cemetery is awesome. So many crazy ass obelisks and pyramids containing the robber barons. They have a pond in the middle with these fatass carp. I used to live around there and I’d bring them veggies to eat. They’d scarf down whole cubes of melon, really something to see. There’s a nice Mexican bakery nearby called Artemio’s. They make that coffee with the cinnamon in it 
Aw dang you’ll miss mulberry season. There are a ton of mulberry trees in Wunder’s Cemetery across the street from Graceland.
Oh yeah, in Pilsen, check out the National Museum of Mexican Art. They have some incredible pieces from ancient times to modern. Nearby there’s Atotonilco Taqueria, the best tacos I’ve ever had.
Architecture Boat Tour is a must, if you have time.
Piece Pizza in Wicker Park is very good thin-crust
yesss pizza recs thank you
i definitely wanna try tavern one day and deep dish another so these are useful
holy moly yeah i’m gonna have to visit the cat arcade wow
Tavern style omg the best one is Phil’s in Bridgeport. I love to get one garlic pie, one with Italian beef and giardiniera.
Yeah I love it!
gotta try at least one while i’m there
deep dish is probably the more notable one but i love a good thin crust so i may go for tavern first
Bridgeport Inn nearby is a dive bar that’s pretty chill about bringing in food. A couple times I’ve brought Phil’s pizza over there for a party and they’ve given us plates and everything. They have pool tables and a dart board.
If you want a really fancy dinner, the Duck Inn has really interesting and lavish American cuisine and fun cocktails. You can indeed get a whole roast duck if you plan ahead.
Oh yeah Bridgeport Art Center is very cool! In the basement is the Chicago Maritime Museum. And there’s also Zhou B art gallery nearby, but I tragically haven’t visited that one yet.
I’m spamming bc I’m just sat here waiting to jump on Ticketmaster lol
whole roast duck is crazy work
Oh in Chinatown there is a dedicated K-pop merch store and a lot of shops selling anime merch. Never been in the K-pop one, but it looks legit.
https://www.gracelandcemetery.org/tour-map-biographies/inez-clarke/
You mentioned spooky stuff—I’ve heard that if you visit this grave of a little girl in Graceland Cemetery, you should leave her a snack (I suggest an apple or something else biodegradable).
PRESALE CODE SMILE
lets goo
it isnt live tho right?
This is the first time in a while I’ve even had the option (unemployment boyzzzz). Like I’ve always had to do this shit at work, when I got tickets for Knock2 I was simultaneously dragging logs through a muddy ass field lmao
And even if you miss the presale, the public onsale is at 2 PM
So any updates on if there are VIP tickets or not?
Still no clue
we will know once presale is live
there’s a vip section on the seat map so maybe
looks like there’s GA standing and a “premium” section off to the right of the stage
looks like GA for meeeeeee
But that’s not the same as the VIP packages
also hi foliege
i doubt there will be a vip package
that was live nation’s doing
this is not a live nation event
different promoter
hi!
this is promoted by Collectiv Presents but they still use ticketmaster apparently 🙄
Then again the Premium section is on a balcony
i’ll swing back in an hour after i have my tickets lol i gotta go to work!! good luck everyone!!! 💗
fair fair but it’s also far sidestage
if i can’t see Paws i’ll cry
ooooh thank you! ill do this for sure. also im an extreme morning person so hopefully ill beat most people to the birds lol
i wish i was a morning person
i'm highkey a morning person but i'm barely awake lol
I HAVE AWOKEN TO GIVE ANIME BOY MORE OF MY MONEY YET 
but on the other hand, im not a night person, which sucks sometimes lol. these early porter shows are great for me. the last show i went to was eric prydz and he went on at 2 am lol. so i slept 8 pm till 1:45 am and then went to the show lol
wait rly that's super early for a show I didn't notice that
i imagine frost children gets 30-40 like ericdoa did so porter might be on at like 7:30-7:45 and done around 10pm
I stayed home from work today because I’m sick so I’m happy I’ll be in front of my computer
I left my bf’s house and am almost home so I’m about to lock tf in
I’m also not really a night person. I’d be happy with Porter playing a show at 2pm
Let me be in bed by 9pm
Makes it easier to line up early for doors too 
does seatgeek get presale
i bought my tix that got canceled there and now have $90 in credit
I’m not sure but I don’t see why not
No SeatGeek is just a third party reseller only afaik
Never mind then 
So does that mean one can just walk in while cos playing

mayhaps
I wish!
I don't see why not, never been to a venue with a dress code other than no bright lights or pointy stuff 
i think that just means that even though i may have to wait for seatgeek to get tix, i will get them
right?
I've worn my teemo hat to 4 porter shows now
SeatGeek is like eBay for tickets, it's other ppl reselling, it may be higher than face value and have crazy fees but once the tickets hit you should be able to use the credit no problem yeah
Third party sites get really cheap really close to the show but it's risky
well if it's under like 100 ill just use the credit and change
I went to justice at radius in Chicago night 1, decided to go night 2 and got same day tickets that were face value $80 for like $30
i think the code is "$90 off one (1) purchase" so in that case it doesnt matter too much
Gm gang
GM!!
Well, they do handle ticketing for some bigger venues, but yeah they’re mainly a resale platform
Gm let’s lose this bread 
I saw the premium seating is standing as well so no seats just first come first serve
My wallet is ready

Lets goooo less than 25 mins
Last time I traveled to Chicago was to see the James Ivy headline tour. I’ll be flying in from NC again and live near Porter’s home town in NC.
Super excited to go back!
i'm debating on driving down from rockford or hopping on a metra and walking to the venue from clybourn, since it's closer. i think it might be the latter
Does he know that we're so back
Goodbye money, it'll come back
Real
they do first-party for some venues but mostly resale
my weeknd tickets were through seatgeek
they’re the Official Ticketer for Nissan Stadium
but generally speaking yes they’re resalers
Just joined the waiting room!
waiting room opened!!
Same here!!
9 minutes!!!
[Hacker voice] I’m in
Waiting patiently 
im nervous 😮💨
Everyone will get a ticket!
Yes yes
5 mins omg
it kicked me out of the waiting room wtf
Thats odd!
Probably just a little internet error
I’m excited for all of you this show was sooooo good
Yeah. They tried to replace TM as the ticketing service for Barclays Center here in NYC but ended up being ousted after a little over a year and they switched back to using TM.
ONE MINUTE
Waiting for the page to refresh

Okay good I don't think I can afford premium like that
ticketmaster moment
Anyone got a price estimate for ga?
^
^
^^
No
That's my estimate too
I thought the pre-sale would include the general floor
Usually presale does
Premium dont even seem like a good spot lol
I'm excited to see yall in the pit!
Yeah wtf same here, I'm only seeing premium
oh i thought it was noon oops
IKR!
It should it looks like they forgot to enable it
yeahhh waiting for the general sale LMAO
NO this is GA
Not me incessantly refreshing to see if it shows up
idk why they would do that
I'm buying a GA ticket
no it’s GA PREMIUM
Augh pls ping us if GA shows up
WHAT EW

ga premium is the only thing onsale they messed up
whens the full sale already?
Thanks Noah you saved me

Oops LOL
The countdown restarted!

Oh okay
Welp uhhh

Noah saved me from buying a GA P ticket cause I can't read

god i hate ticketmaster
swear oml Ticketmaster does this every time and it's never happened to me once on a platform like dice
oh i just announced LMFAO
Welp
^ like do you mess up that bad
see you in about 4 hours then i guess!!!
Hey we just checked for premium GA and it's not available for me either :(
thats wild af
there was 2 jobs. sell ga ticket. sell premium ticket. couldn't do half of that.
Yall don't worry they fucked up and they gonna fix it 🙏 dw dw
Daug premium just sold out
I think they pulled it
Ohhh okay
honestly knowing ticketmaster it probably isnt a mistake
Yep
Makes sense
They tryna fix the goofy ahh site
It let me back in but still only premium available
this ga sale is going to be a fucking nightmare lmao
Wait how so do you mean that half the stage is blocked via the balcony? What's blocking it? Who I'm going with was thinking about getting balcony/premium tickets
i bought premium because im stupid and cant read lol. but im not a crowd person so im cool with the balcony. we were undecided anyway

The premium balcony is off to the side of the stage
probably just the presale allotment there may be more later
I'm gonna be in the back dancing anyways I was in the crowd of armory
its back up but still just premium
it’s off to the side so if you’re close you won’t get to see some of left stage
Dawg this is the first time I had to "queue" for tickets this is so scary
you can see some views online
im okay off to the side haha. i literally didnt even see porter in amsterdam, only paws

FYM
Wimdy
how long until i can afford this
This is so much closer to me than pavillion too
FR? so we can still like ge ta good view of everything ?
Uh it should be $50
Woaw it's $50 for me
We all just waited in a queue for a ticket we didn’t even want 😂
It should not be that expensive for GA
got em!!!! see you there!!!!! @cosmic pier
I don't see GA anymoreee
It is not its $50 for reg GA
Regular GA you're looking for $49
oh.
$70/ticket for after fees for yall right?
NO WAY
GA sold out?
i guess that's seatgeek's only ticket right now, it'll probably go down after a while
Balcony fancy GA is $115 + fees
even premium was not $155
Wait what it holds 5k
LOL are they sold out or did they just close it???

we're back to premium only lads
I paid $139 total for 2 tickets
it went up in price wtf????
Same here
Same
that was definitely $50 not $55
These fees are insane, I know I say this every time I buy tickets but I'm paying the price of A WHOLE EXTRA TICKET in fees here
O-o ticketmaster is doing a shitshow rn
Yeah each ticket was 49.99
I think they’re waiting to release the rest of the GA tickets for the on-sale
I'm booing it offstage
wait mine were $55
agree!
NVM GA IS BACK
Damn
Likely tier 2
I hate ticketmaster
Ticketmaster moment
jfc what's going on with this presale
ticketmaster please... i cant take this
Boo ticketmaster yay uhhh porter
How is Ticketmaster so bad
The intersection in Michigan doesn't allow resale so you pay one flat price and done
thats not clear though, i feel like they would say if it was tiering
Yay I saved $6 lol
What the
so is vip going to be available later on as an add on??
ticketmaster on their best day:
I don't think this venue has vip
I paid $69 with fees, originally $49
We're not even able to access the page
these are exactly the same but some are $5 more. what.
not the tiering!!

same
Because they’re a monopoly
Freaks of ticketmaster. STOP IT
You would think with their several thousand developers
They would be able to handle more than 6 people on their website
Axs isn't much better
But they are better lol
LMAO THIS IS SO EMBARASSING AUGH
Tickets got
AXS is notably better in my experience
Hot take but AXS is worse than Ticketmaster from personal experience
this is all so weird I saw clairo here last year and she had vip but the venue also had ga + and im not seeing it for this show 😭😭
I will be arriving at the concert

Oh idk then
I made it !!!!
Maybe porter doesn't have vip for this show?
Got premium tickets
i gotta stop watching ticket sales for a show i dont even know if i can attend my heart cant handle it
Public transportation would be terrible for this venue for me

Do y’all know what the premium admission has compared to regular admission
Yea uber is probably the move tbh
elevation
balcony
Saturday show in Chicago W I can just drive
Go ask for that permission and see you then
Ik this is prob just a ticketmaster goofy moment but make sure you aren't selecting the accessibility section if that's even an option rn
I’m seeing another show at this place literally 4 days before this one and there was no ga + listed for that show either I’m getting paranoid I’d prefer to have early entry if it’s available
He might announce upgrades at a later date/time
Probably because it’s not a LN promoted show and they were the ones handling the VIP packages
Hmm makes sense
It's just porter coming back
highly likely actually
