#CHICAGO MAY 17TH MAKE UP SHOW !!!!!!
1 messages · Page 9 of 1
I leave tomorrow morning!!! I’m so excited 😩‼️
I still have to finish decorating something 😭
I don't think I'll have time to cover it in resin or modge podge in time though so I will hope paint doesnt die
Thank you 🙂 my friend got me a Kandi kit for Christmas and now I have an entire tote bag that's just for kandi
Is it worth looking into the DJ set afterword?
Is it actually Porter playing that? Where does one get tickets for that?
Also how do people even get codes for that? Ticketmaster did not provide the option :p
Yes it's actually porter
You can search porter Chicago, tickets are via tixr, should be listed on his website as well
When was dis announced?
Also, if anybody has any ideas for Kandi, lmk. I feel I have plenty of smile Kandi so I'm looking for ideas for worlds/nurture/virtual self
I think like 2 weeks ago
No problem
Anyone been to this venue before? Not sure what to expect
I have not but someone did post photos last night if you scroll
So yesh i think the billboard should fit :D
im way more proud of my actual jewelry than the kandi i made, although one of the charms already fell off 😶
it just needs to sort of make it through saturday and ill be happy haha
although i wore that yotc necklace to brunch the other week
PORTE YOU BETTER RECORD THIS SHOW I NEED THE LINE AUDIO TO DANCE AROUND JUMP AROUND LIKE SPIDEY 🕸️
Wasn't there someone in here looking for a second premium ticket? Someone posted one in #1292949413102354442
So question what time is everyone else going ?
I'm planning on getting there around 4pm to be a little early
I have a vibe I'm going for and I don't wanna ruin it
I just got my friends to come to the after show !!!
This is my plan
i planned a warm and cool version of my outfit just in case
Smart^
nude fleeced lined tights always come in a clutch 👌
I have a porter t and a porter hoodie. I’m just full reppin
warmth without messing with the vibes
nice nice !!
Worried the hoodie will be too much tho
It’s a bit thinly
Thic*
Cuz I’m gonna be jumping a lotttt
Yeah that's why I'm thinking bring the cardigan in the car
Cause I'm going wook mode
Posting the fit again
I have a diff necklace that's a rainbow choker to match the pash
Ty thrift store
The pash could also just work tbh
Anyone know what time doors are?
5pm
Thanks bb
Ahhhh I’m panicking figuring out what to wear
I kinda wanna do a decora type of look but a little more simple
I need to do that tonight ;-;
i am really pushing packing to the last minute 😮💨
yall already started packing-
I just realized I’m gonna look like a sweaty mess for the after party immediately after the show lol
No time to get cleaned up ;-;
Only cuz I'm already in Chicago to see family if I was flying out tomorrow I'd be packing tomorrow LOL
valid
I have to be awake until 6 am tomorrow to actually sleep like I’ll need so I have time to still pack lmao
You and me both 😭😂
😭 why did he put the show the same weekend as anime central?
Porter Robinson is more important than anime tho I will be going to the concert instead
🗣️
At least I won’t be the only one!
Solidarity 💀
SAME! I got old bones
flight is at 6:59 am tomorrow and i work till 9:15 pm tonight... im not packed at all though
we are gonna collapse at the same time
Same…these bones just turned 30 ;-;
The thing is the adrenaline of the afterparty will absolutely hit when Porter goes on but afterwards, you will be conscious of every bone in your body struggling lol
lmao very true
I went to Echostage last year and I genuinely like limped out of the venue lmao
Please bring ear plugs people don't get tinnitus over a concert
yeehaw protection !
Also sunscreen!
Mine are 23 😭😂
I like the dragon and the camaro shirt myself - camaro a bit more cause the colors
Has anyone ever brought one of those 180 3D cameras to a show? Just thought of that and would be amazing up front
Most of those need a stick though no?
Hmm on second thought I think you're right lol
For some reason I thought there was a phone lens attachment for one but could be wrong
Havent looked into those for a few years
Bars
I preach what I don’t do myself tho I prob won’t pick up that habit
I love my loud music

Been looking at the wind forecast for Chicago on Saturday the past few days and hoping it gets better and or doesnt cancel the show like last time dude like plsss 
Protecc your ears or else
This place is more inland so I think it’ll be ok? I’m saying as someone who’s been to Chicago once lol
Hmm true yeah it's not right off the lake
But yeah you can get some decent Earplugs or even a pack of them at like a guitarCenter or something for not that much, I always bring some anyways just in case and adjust them throughout the night depending
Smile in Madison was absurdly loud, I left earplugs out for a good chunk of the show and regret it, my ears were ringing for like three days lol
Oof
I do need to get on that but I personally can’t stand stuff in my ears so it’d be either full headphones or nothing
Yea same, good audio though I feel like EDM shows are always well mixed
Every rap concert I’ve been to the audio engineering SUCKS
I hate the ones that like don't have a good grip/keep slipping out of your ears so I always jam mine in and don't really notice them after time - end up sometimes thinking I don't have em in my ear as I can't tell but they're still there - got sensory issues myself but the ones I main haven't had much issue with
i always pinch my foam ones before putting them in so they expand to fit my ear better
pro tip is to pinch the tip
How weird would yall say it’d be to rock noise cancelling headphones to a show
Its not weird if it works for you
Not like ANC but actual shooting headphones or sum
i feel like it would block out a lot of details but i havent actually tried that so i wouldnt know
Yeah those foam ones ^ you can get a bunch of them for a good price, also hearos
Im also worried about that but I wouldn’t imagine it’d be worse than earplugs eh?
I'd be curious how much of the sound spectrum you could hear with those on
In my experience it’s like a harsh low pass filter but I’ve only used them at drag races
I’d imagine if the sounds more balanced so would the cancellation
I'm sure somebody has tested shooting headphones on YouTube or reddit or something
True I’m gonna look into it
Or actually if you've got em already you could test it out right now lol - blast music and see if it blocks out/mutes all the highs or just equally across the board
I don’t have them w me for this show but I’m definitely gonna stop going to shows without some sort of solution
Actually didn’t even consider this lol good idea
I always get filter terminology mixed up lol lowpass is when you're generally hearing only the lowend right?
Me too, yea ur right
Finally got it 😆
"low gets to pass" on a lowpass filter
Is anyone going to Anime Central before the show 🤔 my hotel is right next to it since it's close to the airport and I am considering going, BUT I also want a good spot in line... I am conflicted 
Oh like on Saturday/the day of? No not me but considering maybe going Friday 🤔
You Might be able to get away with going thru a bit of acen in the early morning/before 12/1
12 and on I'm gonna be getting ready/traversing the city but I like to plan alot of buffer time to not have to risk cutting things close
I was too but it got done somehow
I’m going over it again to see how I can make some space and make things more secure
Dw I will too
Same
Dammmn, maybe I'll just sprint through artist alley before getting to the show then 😭 hoping the Uber from there to the salt shed isn't too insane LOL
I mean I think acen opens up like 8 or 9am right? Might earlier idk but my sleep schedule is 💩 gonna be eepin
But oo yea if you're ubering that should be easier, no parking to worry abt,, maybe like an hour if traffic is bad?
Unfortunately for me, I'm landing at 11:59 am....maybe I should've planned this a little better 😅 but oh damn didn't realize Uber would be an hoUR...
i feel like theres no harder forecast to pack for than this weekend lol
I'm wearing my porter tie-dye long sleeve, jeans, and hoping for the best 
in the same boat myself, hoping it works out in the end but it feels like a lot in one day
many are saying this
i think ill be good on saturday! but then theres this 78 degree friday with maybe a thunderstorm and a 55 degree HIGH on sunday 😮💨
Are people just parking on the street for the DJ set
They don't have dedicated parking lot (sad)
then i have this kind of situation going on lmao
i hope tsa is not weird about this perfectly normal bag full of paws lol
Lmao
omg I want one 😭
I went through with like 500 beads for Kandi I didn't have time to make before my first stop on my trip so it should be fine lol
I was able to get a dedicated parking spot across the street but otherwise yeah I do think it's going to mostly be street parking/Ubers for people
Cute
You absolutely do not need to get there that early, be safe!
but funny
i also gotta bc im meeting up w someone to deliver a package and its the closest place 😭
Oh wow imagine 😂
Oh okay that's good 😭 the rest of the week sounds wild though wtf
Also omG love these little guys
excellent
Okay chat what pants are we feeling
I like the red
I was thinking this cardigan for it being chilly
OH MY GOD 🥹
yes I love
Yeah, If I can change my flight maybe, but otherwise, AC to Porter to Porter DJ sounds insane LOL
So real, if you've got the luggage space I say do it LOL
that does sound insane, im prob gonna skip out on porter dj bc i feel that ill likely be exhausted post concert
yes
It’s a White Sox game that afternoon! Please be careful. Only Bridgeport residents with a permit are allowed to park. Parking rules are generally enforced from 3 hours before to 3 hours after a game.
So actually you might be in the clear that late at night but idk
Yeah maybe you’re good then
If not they should just like
Not
I freaked out a lil and then looked it up
where in pulaski park?
Love this fit!
I'm debating wearing this one instead (just trying diff pants)
It's my Kai wachi pash but it's thicker
Idk I'll show up in some variation lmao
Sorry for flooding chat with my clothes
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu not sure maybe @raven storm would know a good spot?
damn i should probably figure out wtf my concert fit will be
The courtyard behind the field house!
Awesome
That venue was also TINY which definitely didn’t help
As @dry lance said earlier, “Chicago I’m inside you”

What time are you guys arriving/lining up? (Particularly if you’ve got premium)
Did somebody say their hotel was near O’Hare?
Sorry I totally didn’t read chat before I sent that…
Anyone else coming in from Canada 🇨🇦 lmao I’ve been teetering on booking a flight for weeks and I think ima finally do it and fly in Saturday 🙂↕️
I’m not 100% sure when I’m gonna get there. I might be getting dinner with some friends, but idk yet for sure
You should!
I think I’m gonna! Just trying to figure out what time my flights gotta arrive by in order to get to hotel & lineup in time 🥳
Haha valid point. There’s a meetup happening nearby that doesn’t have a start time, but people have said they’ll be there around 3pm. It’s within walking distance to the venue (15ish minutes?). Pulaski Park is the meetup location. Doors are at 5pm for the salt shed, if that helps
Hey @raven storm I assume you mean the Pulaski Park that’s like half a mile from the salt shed? I just typed Pulaski Park into Apple Maps and it gave me two results and the other one was quite a ways away
At this point let’s just settle 3pm
I'm down to call it 2 that way people can filter in and out as they want
Also lets people who want to line up way early a chance to meet up and what not
DONT FORGET CHICAGO IS CENTRAL TIME IF YOURE DRIVING IN
(I always forget lmao)
Then get happy I gain an hour
I like this idea
I wish central time was real, tbh
Who’s tryna hit up Pequod’s later?
Later as in when
Later this evening
(Pretend I didn’t ask…I just put in a reservation for one just now for 8:15 cuz I got trigger happy)
Less than 1 hour until I’m inside Chicago
Oh lmao
Does anyone know if the DJ set a sunrise set btw??
We’ll get ‘em next time
No it's inside a theater at 11 pm
Hell yeah!
Ya know, looking back it's kinda silly I didn't put that together ☠️
Lol it's okay
The actual show will be a sunset show if that makes you feel better
Oh shIT didn't put that together eitheR
It's okay I'm here to assist
Does anyone know of any fun places that would be open after the DJ set until ~7am (or whenever the airport opens) 🤔 trying to see if I can get by without needing a hotel room LOL
road trip tomorrow rahhhhhh
im in central time now they can't make me forget
dont even have to change the clock in my car
Crazy
can any spothero users tell me if i should be worried about this
i have a ford escape
are the spaces really this small
these literally look like normal spots do we think i'll be fine or should i park somewhere else
i put in my make and model and it still shows the spot to me as an option, if it's tight that's fine i'll make it work
Nah you should be fine. Also if you put in your make and model and it said okay then you should be good
(I’m also parking in that lot! I drive a Corolla tho…)
I hate that I recognize that based entirely on the picture and description lol
Are you inside Chicago yet?
Sho am
Same 😦 I found out today we had a fucking jeep grand wagoneer so that’s an obvious no
Idk what to do now
Current predicament
Who’s going to the cubs/sox game tomorrow?
Apparently we all are lmao
There’s no way the lot is big enough for all of us, sum doesn’t add up
Not with that attitude
Especially just the back row
I mean there’s only like three or four of us so far lol
(They definitely* can)
That’s also true
I can also take people from the salt shed to the after party as well
Yall will have to find me after the show tho, cuz im 100% gonna forget
I’m thinking about just ubering
But that’d kinda suck
Salt shed > hotel > uber to remova > uber to hotel
gearing up for our 12 hour drive tomorrow 🥲
if anyone runs into porter at the airport tell him PRD says hi
Wait that’s hard
“I’m leaving server 🖕” - Porter Weston Robinson
Drive safely! 🥳 take breaks when needed!
briiight and early tomorrow from nashville to chicago
much to consider
im liking those saturday temps
thanks will do 💖
Drive safe everyone 😄
porter trapping me in a hailstorm on the way back from the store so said hailstorm doesn't hit on saturday:
I’m so fucking pumped
The energy on saturday is going to be so insane
It’s not FAIIIIRRR
idk bro
There’s something about after the “fair” that makes me go
LOOKS SO GOOD
That’s so cute !
thank you !! :D part of my outfit is in the wash rn 💀 but i'll have to share the whole thing later
HAPPY SMILE EVEEEEE🩷🩷🩷🩷 be safe in your travels y'all 💖💖
THATS SUPER CUUUTEE
cant wait to see everyone there AAAAA
polled my little crew of twitter oomfs so I'll be comin' to the show in a like more cybergoth-y fit-- if the afterparty aint to crazy maybe I'll wear my robot helm or smth 
I also have a few kandi bracelets my partner made for me when I was goin' to the first one-- so hopefully I can trade those for some stuff here!!!! super excited for this to be my first ever concert haha
If porter makes like any sort of reference to this being oomfchella I might just die
first ever concert is so exciting !! :O porter is a great choice!
Yeahgsssss
Pulaski park meetup near the venue 
I like how I spent all night working on tailoring my KYOXD shirt for Saturday, just to throw it away for basic “butch lesbian” fit lmao
anybody got experience on the salt shed premium tix? I heard some people have a hard time seeing the concert up there
Flight departing from Atlanta to Chicago shortly….
Are any PRD members doing stuff in chicago today
not 100% certain on what my partner and i will be doing but 90% sure we’ll be seeing the bean around 5pm :D
Flight delayed until 7am. Falling asleep at my gate 
Real
All the other times i’ve been in the city it was walled off for construction and I couldn’t take a pic in front of it lmao
omw to the amtrak stationnn
damn, any specific reason?
No reason, maybe the plane felt a little silly
I don’t mind, doesn’t make too much impact
waiting for my flight from houston weee so excited for this weekend + first time in chicago !!!
amtrack doesnt know what i got on me at all times (i cannot leave the house without it) 🙏🙏🙏
I fricken love this
Safe travels
thank yewww
idk who else mentioned going to the game today at wrigley, but i'm not sure i'm gonna go anymore. my body didn't like the 5 hour drive, so today might be a rest day for me as a result
MY PLANE TAKES OFF AT 12:20PM
that's a really odd way to spell "home depot parking lot"
did it get delayed? or was that when it was originally supposed to take off?
Dw it’s the original
we're going and will probably be asleep at the game 😭 im so tired
I’m just super excited
But it wants to make a stop at Dallas first which is super frustrating but oh well
that's right! it was you!
At least imma go clubbing for the first time when I land
My cousin is gonna take me clubbing
my neck is all sorts of messed up rn so i lowkey might not go
we'll see how i'm doin in a few hours tho. i took some painkillers and i'm icing the shit out of it lmao
idk what i was thinking with this 7 am flight and then booking a full day of activities from 10 am to 10:30 pm lol
aw i hope your neck feels better soon!
Hope you all have safe flights!!
no i totally get it. the last time i was in chicago, i was a child and i wanted to do everything and go everywhere. the excitement of being somewhere new is vastly magnified when you're younger. now i'm in my mid 20s and the thought of being awake when i don't have to be awake makes me big frustrated
the hotel ice machine is coming in clutch rn
plane feeling silly
did some poking around on the internet (thanks abc7) and their futurecast suggests mid to upper 60s for temps at 5pm tomorrow. they didn't mention wind speeds, just wind gusts, which are supposed to get to 27mph (yes, i have opinions on the fact that they don't mention wind speeds)
forecast looks dry as well. this is from 2ish hours ago
https://abc7chicago.com/post/chicago-weather-forecast-7-day-temperatures/110063/
Its gonna be fineeeee
good morning chat
Porter tomorrow
yeah, exactly. weather has been a constant topic in here, which is why i bring it up again
^
:3
I'm gonna flip when they play cheerleader
lowkey not ready emotiionally for this to be over, tbh. this tour has been some of the most fun i've had in my life. in the meantime, one more night of fun
RE 4 AND 7 for starters
oooooooo
Did you not specify what type of car you wanted
Also for anybody who would like to come back to Chicago in a year, they are going to have the first American Pokemon fossil exhibit
I will be there
@ the field museum btw
Hey Chicago people if anyone gets a setlist paper please post a picture of it here or in #porter-robinson-live
Typically at the end of each show a member of the band hands them out or you can try asking someone working the stage
Enjoy the show tomorrow!
not the silly plane :(
Such a silly goose
where are you flying in from?
Apparently we’re missing a first officer. Every other cabin crew is on board already
NYC
Bro somewhere in the abyss 😂
sometimes the void smiles back or something like that
Trying to summon him to my gate
I wasn’t the 1 to rent it :/
Unfortunate
cant check into my hostel room til 3 so im gonna drop my stuff off there when i arrive in an hour
but then i have like 5hrs to kill
Need to find a good breakfast place and somewhere else to kill time…. hmm……
Denny’s:
(Idk what you should do about that second part I just love dennys)
Fuck no haha i have denny’s in GA
Also I’m staying in River North and doubt there are any fast food joints like that nearby lol
Sitting in a park enjoying the view
good morning usaaaaaa
slept like an hour later than planned but i still have Plenty of time
I’ve been awake since yesterday at 5pm and no meal since last night lol i need to eat
i neeeeeeed bfast recommendations from any locals
I gotta drive up there after work today ;-;
Griddle 24 is p good
right now??
im going there rn lmao?
i think
yea
pretty sure they’re just saying they r going to have a pokemon fossil exhibit there next year
ihhh
ohh
Based on this check-in time I think we MAY be in the same hostel- check out Dove’s Luncheonette in going there tomorrow morning based off of someone’s recommendation
we just landed in chicago!!!
too late 🥲 dropped off my luggage and got on a bus to Lou Mitchell’s
Im headed out now! Only 7 hrs to go 💀
I start driving from Detroit at like 5 😭😭
my hostel is freehand, odds are there are a decent # of concertgoers staying there tbh bc of pricing
And I’m on my way to Wrigley rn
See you soon!
Ah yes sorry next year
But same time
It's crazy how many people are flying in
Not that I haven't done that, I flew in for odesza at boulder but I usually cut my losses and stick with the area for shows
Flights can be so fuckin expensive
Remind me where you work within Wrigley! I feel much better, so imma go to the game cuz eff it, we ball
I took my friends concerts list and removed all the ones I did not attend, it's crazy to see everything I've done in the last year
Same. The only time I’d ever fly for a show is second sky if Porter ever brings it back
Yeah I'm able to drive to both lost lands and seven stars so those don't even count
Madeon at Red rocks is the only one thus far I'd have to fly to
And I may not be going idk
The weekend before seven stars is a lot
I was super tempted to go to Madeon at red rocks but I didn’t wanna drive there by myself
Don't get me wrong I wanna go so bad
Cuz Colorado is within driving distance as a midwesterner
Never been to red rocks
I haven’t either!
Iowa
Yup
So yeah, other side
But I'm able to do trips to Grand rapids, Detroit, cinci, Columbus, Indy, chicago
They're all within 3 hours
I get Madison, Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City and Minneapolis pretty easily
Chicago is a bit of a stretch compared to Minneapolis. Madison is pushing it, but that wasn’t a bad drive at all last fall cuz I got to drive through Dubuque and eat at one of my favorite places in the state
Which Porter show was the 28th? Was that Minneapolis?
we flew to amsterdam to see him last time 💀 so this felt pretty easy
I saw late September and thought “oh, I bet I was at that show” cuz I saw the Madison show and the Minneapolis show
WAIT
Do you have a picture from where you were standing at the Minneapolis show?
I wanna see how close you were to me. I did this with a buddy of mine from work who was at the nurture show at the armory in 2021 and we found out we were maybe 30 feet away from each other at this show but wouldn’t actually meet in person until early 2024 when I started directing newscasts
Uhhhh let me see if I have a good photo
This is the best I got and this is at x.5 zoom
We were centered left
Oh okay, you were way behind me then
Yeah we don't really push up
We like to be in the middle of the crowd and then we sometimes move back if it's too much
I still got crazy good photos ❤️
Yooo what the heck. That’s really good
My stand is somewhere around these seats
Extra zoom baby
I can zoom in like 30x if I want lol
Cup
I swoon a little every time I see my porter photos lol
I have a pixel 8 pro
Okay, that’s not too far from where my seat is. If you tell me what the stand is called, I’ll come buy something for sure
Cup!
Yeah that’s some wild quality
Pixels, especially the newer ones, have wild cameras
Getting rail sounds horrible
I got rail the first time I saw Odesza
I think Ive decided against riding rail at lost lands I saw a vlog and even Thursday night main stage was crazy packed 😭
And also a drumstick
Crazy
That’s the only perk of rail at shows like those. Set lists and drum sticks
Like I was thinking hit rail for frost children and all of smile and then move back
But idk
The fact that I caught one at my first odesza show is one of my biggest claims to fame and it’s been downhill from there
I bet one of those heads is mine lmao
Specifically one with curly hair
If I don't get rail I'll prob go as phone free as possible since I have enough from the armory show
Left Field Classics
Although my hair was much shorter back then. It’s long to the point where I’m gonna wear a headband tomorrow cuz that shit’s mad annoying
One of the two big food stands on the upper deck
Bet
I usually don’t have my phone out, although I took a few photos at both smile shows I’ve seen specifically of visuals
Yeah I like to grab some videos and photos of things that just make me happy in the moment to look back on
Like the visuals in ITRNH
Because our memories fade but photos and videos will remain
I got one of the snowflakes from the background in ITRNH tattooed on my leg
Yeah since this is show 2 way less phone will be out
I'll prob snap photos of the venue tho
I realize that most people film the entire show set
Like the Mountain View tape is BANGER
So I watch that during cardio
I took a video of one part of the set the second time I saw it because I knew when it would be and I had already experienced it once
That was the nice part about it seeing it twice so close together. Anything I missed, I got to snap a picture or take a short video of
we'll try to come find you!!!
I might be hidden in the back doing prep stuff
Lmk when you’re heading that way and I’ll come join up as well
I tried to spoiler a video but I gave up lol
That pic is from the Madison show lol (deleting it cuz idk how to tag spoilers on my phone)
That venue was tiny. That was from all the way in the back
I drove by it last night. The big ass MORTEN logo on the side is, in fact, big
Mmm salt
so close but it’s not today 😢🙏
Yes it was very intimate!! I’m excited for the after party tomorrow, the capacity is the same
I’m considering taking the metra down to Clybourn since I don’t wanna have to deal with traffic and would rather just drive from the closest suburban train station back home. Is there an estimate to when each act will go on?
even closer now lol
The small venue show was super great. It was really nice to see an artist and be “in the back” but still be about as far away as I was in Minneapolis. I wish I got to see more artists in smaller venues like that
I saw Darude perform once at a nightclub tho, so it can’t get much more intimate than that
Yeah honestly any spot was a good spot as long as you’re tall enough haha! I was very very happy with it
When I saw Nurture in Philly it was a seated venue and I was so far away lol
Oh that’s so true. I’m 5’8 and it was still great
I wish I saw nurture more than just once
I saw it in Minneapolis
Porter should have much more of my money than he already does
Me too 🥲 that was such an amazing show! I love the band setup but something about Porter running on stage alone to all his keyboards and controllers was so fun and immersive
Okay that’s true
Imo the strongest live show he’s put on, and I love each one dearly!
Just sad I never got to see Sweet Time live
The band setup works great and I love the band arrangements, but the chaos of Porter running around the stage was unmatched
And the wind tempos live edit from the nurture tour? Yeah
That was worth the ticket price alone
Unrelated, but I get to see the smile tour visuals one more time
I’ll be there! Neck is feeling a lot better after I put some ice on it
Good to hear!!
I haven’t driven that far in a while, so idk how to properly position my neck when I drive
If you don’t mind me asking where are you driving from? Sounds like you’re in the midwest given the locations you’ve been haha
Iowa!
Ah ok nice!
5ish hour drive from where I grew up. Not too bad, but this is my first time driving anywhere that isn’t within like an hour or two since I saw the smile shows near this area last fall
Hope its a smooth drive for you!
Me seeing Syzy and barely alive at concord
It was great
Love small venues
Syzy was
So fucking good
I’m already in Chicago! It was a decently smooth drive, until I got to Chicago at 5pm and had to play the extreme sport that is driving in Chicago
It never became a contact sport, however
I gotta find a picture for you @silent flicker
There it is. Find me, based on the description of long curly black hair
Are you the crazy screaming one
Yeah
Excellent
Ugh Syzy and barely alive was one of my fav shows I've been to recently
Small enough venue that I met him after the show before he even left the building
I'm sorry im stupid who is that
Darude
Oh lmao
LOL no worries
IVE HEARD HES SHORT
GRABBITZ IS ALSO SHORT?
Yes lmao
Oh god my life is ruined
They're all fun sized
How tall is Porter?
For real
Grabbitz on stage I was like oh he really do be shorter
Okay porter is my height apparently 5'7 ish
Porter is shorter than me
What do I do with this info?
Make fun of him on twitter, probably
(By a whole inch, btw)
I wanna hug him
I do too
I love hugs
Consensual hugs
Same here!
None of my friends are huggers and it makes me big sad
Oh well I do make my one friend hug me but I usually warn him lmao
Like I cried a ton when I saw odesza in Boulder and my friend (who isn’t a friend of mine anymore for other reasons) isn’t a hugger so I just stood there and sobbed and she was like “uhh…”
omg
Should I wear my Worlds 2 shirt to this game?
yes i saw it in person yesterday at the vegas dj set and its a fire shirt
might have to get it myself ngl
safe travels to anyone traveling out today and tomorrow!!!
It was my favorite of the tour merch, so I got it in Madison and brought it with me for this trip. It’s kinda big on me tho cuz they’re sized big and I’ve also lost some weight since September
porter sightings everywhere lol
im still not over the airport saying "welcome porter" everywhere lol
i think im going to be too hot at the game in my oversized black smile shirt lol so i probably wont have any porter references on me
oh jk ill wear my yotc hat to the game so you all can recognize me!
Wearing my merch in the airport
RAAAHHH
Lol that makes total sense
I chose Porter over breakaway ATL
I forget what the lineup was
Actually this shirt is actually massive…imma wear something else
would literally sweat to death in this but its good for now, we're at a brewery

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE! *Blank garment used may vary depending on a
sorry, the one in nyc! apparently they were welcoming porter airlines lmao
Girl you're so pretty 🫶🏼
Also I kinda want that T-shirt now
Totally didn’t buy this cuz Porter wore it once, but this is what I’m wearing instead cuz this shirt isn’t as big as the other one and I don’t wanna feel like I’m wearing a dress that’ll eventually be soaked with my sweat after this game
What brewery? And is it good?
I am in desperate need of suggestions for things to do while I’m here. I’m here until Monday
pilot project! im having a coffee right now and its great, and my partner is having a beer! we needed somewhere comfy to sit because our room isnt ready till noon
10am beer is goated
I got multiple cocktails at the airport before my flight to Florida lol
Oooo
Thank you
should i wear my daft punk Discovery shirt tmrw
Go for it
thought this was orlando
Nupe
Awe darn, I’m staying at Stay 424 Hostel cause it’s extremely close to Salt Shed
I’m flying for this show 😳 I’ve flown to Second Sky for Porter 👉🏼👈🏼
At work repping my shirt too!
all i ask is that we get one more second sky because i never got to go 😭 
we match!!! i like it in white too! so cute!
another porter sighting 😯
Same ;-;
So many porters
Good news to anyone going to the cubs game today: I will be working the condiment stands
You’ll find me behind one of them (as opposed to being hidden in the kitchen)
No, that’s totally valid. I’m broke as hell, so I try not to fly if I can help it cuz flights and rental cars and that kind of stuff are pricy and I’d rather just drive my car if I can
Oh don’t get it twisted I make $18.90 an hour and I’m 28 years old
I am ALSO broke as hell
But Porter Robinson is a big deal for me
I save money and plan strategically to make it work
The memories I make at his shows and the people I meet fuel me. His music is too special to pass up on it
That’s also fair
I’m also currently really bad about buying unnecessary shit from Amazon, which doesn’t help me out in any case 😂😂
Unrelated, but I left my energy drink in my car. Chat, am I cooked?
The drink might also be cooked as well…but that’s a different discussion
It’s kinda warm outside!
Omg i’d die
Not a caffeine consumer?
Oh I absolutely am, just in moderation, I stop at like 2-3 cups of coffee and don’t really touch energy drinks at all
Honestly, I respect that
Omg I make dog shit money too because I work for a nonprofit. And I’m 30. But I love Porter so much and his music is something I’ve literally grown up with and it’s so special.
I get really shaky and anxious if I don’t pace myself and eat a lot lol
I usually have one can of Bang and call that good for a day, if I even have an energy drink at all
It’s very dependent on the situation. I’ve gotten better with caffeine. I used to drink 750mg between the hours of 4am and 10am back in like 2022
Tbf I absolutely do not plan on drinking more than like 3 a day lol. I just know I’ll need something for the drive to Chicago and then to stay awake throughout the shows
And now I can sometimes get by with a Dr Pepper and a little bit of Hope
Ohhhhh ok I thought it was just saved up for tomorrow LOL
Oh absolutely not lol. I’ll probably have like 2 with water on the drive (12 hours so I’ll need it) and then one before/between shows. Otherwise everything else is for the drive back
Where are you driving from, if you don’t mind me asking?
North Carolina
I am open to doxxing myself at any moment
(legally and morally, this is a joke)
LOL
Bringing the porterpod to give to him
Passcode must be guessed if anyone wants to keep :)
The FL Studio install is WILD
It works :)
Omg I drove from Raleigh (I don't live there though)
I love that
Thanks :3
Oh cool, Raleigh mentioned
Took us like 14 hrs with breaks and what not that shit sucked
I have a friend from there
Driving from Charlotte in a couple hours 
I will experience true pain (I drive for work and I am ever so slightly masochistic so I don’t mind)
I shan’t complain about my decently short drive from Detroit then lol
How many hours is that?
Same, abt 3 hours for me, not too bad
About 4.5
Oh, that’s comparable to what I did! 5 from central Iowa
I just wish I could’ve gotten work off today so I could actually enjoy the city but I’m gonna be getting in later.
I work weekends and this was originally only gonna be a 2 day trip for me, and then I got burnt out and panic requested off a whole week instead 😂
I also decided to stay out closer to O’Hare because ACEN destroyed hotel choices months ago lol
Acen and beyonce have been a disaster for the porter oomfchella economy
Oh I didn’t even realize Beyoncé was in town too
I have a buddy from college who lives near Midway and I asked him if I could crash on the couch and he said no cuz he lives with his parents and his parents said no
There was a rain delay at her show last night, apparently
And she’s playing 3 shows total???
Oh yeah and cubs vs Sox
;-; cursed weekend
Who’s paying money for Beyoncé?
Still mad that Renaissance beat TLG for the Grammy that one year
Cubs vs Sox is gonna go hard tho
I wonder if there’s gonna be anything related to the pope on the video board
Maybe hot take: I’m not a huge Beyoncé fan ;-;
More stuff to do: massive garage sale in Ravenswood (up north)!
It’s that time of the year again! @ravenswoodmanorchi Annual Garage Sale is back this Sunday, May 18, 10am-4pm. Don’t forget your sunblock, good walking shoes, cash, and prayers to the thrift gods! Take the Brown Line to Francisco. 🚉🚶🏼♀️🛍️
#chicagoismyboyfriend

Also, idk if yall saw the announcements channel, but there’s a merch sale rn
On the website

Hell yah 🥺

Okay PRD, who’s at Wrigley rn?
Omg I want a photocard 😭

i’ll post a fit photo tmo so yall can spot me in line !!! i may try to walk down the line and offer them out too 😸
I feel that lol
I’m excited to see everyone’s outfits hehe
Hoping i don’t melt in my fit LOL
You wearing layers?
I’m going to attempt it unless I decide to bail on it lol
I love a reason to dress up all fun
I just hope my fit goes 😭
Lmao I’m hoping the same because I’m tryna do decora
Like decora/but could be on the verge of early 2000s emo/scene lmao
Poor baby!!
its just two of you at wrigley? i have two paws packed!
subtle porter fit for the game! my purse also has a funny monkey on it
and my partners hat has a smiley
The blue solo cup hat goes hard
funny.... monkey....
(I’m the funny monkey cuz I’m drinking piss water aka Bud Light rn)

Finally about to land in Chicago. So happy to be here 😂
I’m standing behind one of the 2 condiment carts
I’ll go back that way and get another beer later
Maybe I’ll get something that isn’t Bud Light this time around
I'm waving at the sky in your general direction

^^^^
Lemme wave back to all of you rq
I’m just happy they didn’t cancel my flight
HI DANI!!!! You can’t see it, but I’m waving back
Wave at the sky, you’re still here?
Hopefully nobody's travel got messed up in the weather last night
I looked at it earlier
Wait, are you on the 3rd base side or the 1st base side? Or is that a dumb question
Ah
Duh
Brain no work
So I did find the correct place then!
Did I really do the 2 finger guns thingy to determine which way was left? I plead the 5th
LOL

Classic
Also cheap flight and travel points so O’Hare and I meet once more …..
Have to go battle the blue line when I get off this plane
Literally what went thru my head several times LMAO
Already got an email about my flight home. Delta that’s so rude
It’s like okay have fun but your upcoming trip back to NYC…
saw the weather is looking goodddd tomorrow
We got all the bad weather out of the way yesterday
we haven't even made it out of Pennsylvania yet hehe but we drove through so many storms
I have a buddy who works at KDKA and I bet he had a lot of fun things to say about the weather on air
Yah give it up for being 28 and broke
I freaked out when I had like $200 in my bank account and had to buy contacts and pay for labs lmao
yes
NOT FROM HIM
LOL
Actually I'm glad I'm not in the city, Knicks Celtics and the Subway Series 
YOU SAVE $.50 BY GOING TO THE STAND
I will. :3
Not every porter fan is Chicagoan
But I am
I only like Detroit style chili on mine
No I think the ketchup thing is grand coming from a place with casserole for pizza 
Oh you’re a New Yorker aren’t you
Yeah but I'm just being a shit stirrer
Fair
Am I allowed to steal the cups?
It’s the crosstown half of my job today is to stir shit
You dropped this: 👑
LOL
Alright, I suppose I’ll go get a hotdog and save 50 cents now
I disagree with the ketchup on hotdogs take but I'm a ride or die for portillos does that cancel out
So a new yorker 🤪😝🤣😐
almost halfway through the drive
Womp womp

Hotdog with the ketchup on it
Wrong one
Upstairs
Dammit
There’s an elevator close by
Looks like I’m getting my steps in
Or that
BILL MURRAY SPIEL LETS GOOOO
Gotta burn off the calories from the ketchup I’m boutta put on this dog
Just means you can put extra
Also, if you’re here, get your food either now or after the 7th so you don’t spend an eternity in line
That upper deck concession stand wasn’t too bad for waiting, btw
Down below was horrible
not yet it’s not
(Also fuck I missed you)
I was the guy who asked if I should put ketchup on the dog
LOL
Looked you dead in the eye as I did it too
OH
LOL
THAT WAS YOU LMAOO
YEAH
well I’m sorry but I have to exile you from the city
I don’t make the rules
I just enforce em
YOU DID WHAT
LOL
I’m saving this one
it looks like we'll be inside in about two hours based on the swarm of people we're in
but our first stop will be concessions
even if the line is long there too lol. im starving
Don’t do what I did and put ketchup on the dog
Tragedy
lol i dont even eat hot dogs
I’m currently crushed by a couch
what is your name so we can ask "wheres woooooooods" if we dont see you
Who tf visited the overpriced Nutella cafe 😭
Pour one out
Alex
Actually no pour it back in
I just cleaned it up and found ketchup
“Pour it back in” is a wild statement and I’m stealing that as well
remind me where your stand is lol?
i know its on the left haha
This might actually be my favorite interaction I’ve ever had btw
If you go to the one on the ground level, there’s an elevator that’ll take you all the way up to the top. Get off, take a right, keep walking, and you’ll see another place with the same name @barren cypress
Or walk to burn off the ketchup
You don't put ketchup on a hot dog in Chicago that's asking to be attacked
Only one person witnessed it
However as a Chicagoan I will only allow ketchup if prepared an exact way
Sausage wrapped in bacon, ketchup + mustard and pepper flakes
This was my Chicago friend’s response to this btw lmao
LOL
Upper deck left field
Near sections 309/409, overlooking Gallagher Way
i think we made it!!!
There’s only one condiment stand with someone behind it btw
At least there was when I went up there
☝️
Make sure you give the guy a hard time
:)
Ive been paying attention to what music they’ve been playing in here and I was genuinely shocked when I heard Superstar by Lupe Fiasco near the start of the game
That was nostalgic for sure
Man
I want portillos now
im sorry haha, i feel like we caught you at such a bad time!
[Attention Everyone]
[I am starting to get worry that this show will get cancelled again]
[Due to weather]
Did you put ketchup on your hotdog?
It’ll be fine
Context: she arrived exactly as I discovered one of the dispensers leaked
OH NICE
And my hands were covered in ketchup
Was it the ketchup dispenser?
i handed him paws while his hands were covered in it lol
HAHAHAHA no way
Thanks again for that!
@barren cypress wya?
we just got to our seats after walking like ten miles lol
Oh nice!
section 327r!
Bet
youll have to come find me at some point!
[Does Mother Nature really hates Chicago]
[?]
Well its call the Windy City for a reason I’m sure, but forecast is like, upper 60s with 15 bpm wind
yo paws was responsible for that home run!!!
i pulled him out of my purse seconds before to take his picture
Hahahahahahaha jk not at all
That was cool
Oh you’re quite a ways away! Itll be a bit of a trek, but worth it!
From earlier
yeah we're up high!
I’m wandering that direction
327r row 4 seats 5 & 6 in case you get here and im not looking at discord, just come yell at me lol
Yo who ready to mosh their pit tomorrow
Is there gonna be a fan meet up before the show in Chicago?
Assuming I don’t Russian my roulette on the way back to my hotel, yes
Pulaski Park near the salt shed! No definite start time, but I’ve seen 3pm get thrown around a few times. It’s about a half mile from the venue
The most concrete meet up was Pulaski Park near the Salt Shed in like the late afternoon
Damn you 
I should have this shit on speed dial by this point
I can’t remember, but I think someone’s mentioned it before. I’ll add it to my speed dial thingy
I saw a guy dressed as the pope
Ty! I'm trying to plan things out with my friend group rn and the only other meet up i knew about was the one at noon in millennium park
just landed in chicago safely holy god chicago turbulence does not fuck around
Lmaoooo once again we have a ton of wind, I imagine the wind just follows Porter around like an omen of the awesome live music to come
Holy shit they are speed running this game
Why else would it be called the windy city
Speed running the game is real
I’m surprised I haven’t had to put a headband on yet. My hair is all over the place
I love Chicago
then why vandalize what we hold dear
ITS FUN TO GET YOURSELF CLEEEEAN
YMCA and HOT TO GO in the same mashup is elite
The letter songs 👀
This isn’t Language by Porter Robinson!
This reminds me of that Reddit post about someone going to a particular stinky Porter show
The Atlanta show lmao
Or that was one of them
