[normal mauve]

[inner tangle]

[weary kestrel]

Washington show 4 lyfe!!

(Not really washington)

[real birch]

i'll be at the show

[deep crag]

got my driving playlist ready for the night before

[deep crag]

Weirdly tempted to add that one Sweet Caroline mix into it

[weary kestrel]

BANGER

Get some mona lisa and divinity in there and you're golden

[real birch]

mmmm i bought tickets for 203 but now I’m thinking about buying sec 200 tickets & finding someone to sell/give the 203s to

i wonder if anyone here got vip lounge tickets bc i’ve been… contemplating.

[slim loom]

you can contact ticketmaster and exchange them

you'll just pay the difference in price and pay fees again

[real birch]

ohhhh awesome :3

thank you*

[wet patrol]

can’t wait, just booked my bus down from NYC.

I have seats so I’m not concerned about getting there super early

[inner tangle]

but isnt there an nyc show

[honest dove]

lol I'm flying up from Nashville because this is the only show that me and friend from VA could go to together

[wet patrol]

Yes

Im hitting a few dates

[inner tangle]

not trying to be weird but i see ppl saying they're driving for hours and i'm like DAMN

[wet patrol]

to enjoy Porter and see friends! And make new ones

[inner tangle]

ah!

[real birch]

done :D i even got to pick my seats, that was cool

[slim loom]

:D

[gleaming pulsar]

I went to the Columbia mall (like 2 minutes away from where the concerts gonna be lol)

[real birch]

[real birch]

i cannot wait for dis...

[hearty falcon]

Lol I'm gonna arrive hours before my hotel's check in so probably going to check out the mall as well

[gleaming pulsar]

Make sure to be safe

There was a shooting I think about 2 weeks ago

Just a heads up

@hearty falcon

[hearty falcon]

I can always chill at a lunch place then as well and/or chill by nearby parks

[inner tangle]

the shooting happened literally the night after me and some friends went to go see Deadpool & Wolverine there on release day, it was scary

the mall is usually pretty safe though, those incidents are very infrequent

it's a pretty good mall too (unless you're an arcade junkie like me, in which case I'm very sorry for our arcade here)

[gleaming pulsar]

lmao

[hearty falcon]

Oo maybe I'll watch a movie before check in lmao

[gleaming pulsar]

Good idea

[gleaming pulsar]

in less than 3 weeks we bouta see porter, lets go gang

[slim loom]

can't wait to see taylor swift perform eras

[fierce coral]

[real birch]

[inner tangle]

alert - the DDR machine at the barcade near the venue has Years of War Rob Mayth remix on it

barcade is called GameOn and it is literally within walking distance of the venue

open until like 2 AM on Fri/Sat too, so it might be a good spot to go to afterwards

[real birch]

years of war DDR after party

[weary kestrel]

Holy crap it's come so fast

[gleaming pulsar]

yessir

[gleaming pulsar]

:) pic of the place/seating and stuff

if anyone needed it/needs it later

[normal mauve]

is the pit just the 100 sections with no chairs?

[gleaming pulsar]

Im gonna assume but idk how it's gonna be

i got the imagine from the official site of the event

i think that's how its gonna be judging that i got my tickets for the ga floor

:o

And here for parking!

Zone A is Lots 2, 3, 5 (ADA included in Lot 2)
Zone B is Lots 4, 6, 7 (ADA included in Lot 4)
Zone C is Lots 9, 10
Zone D is Lots 11, 12, 13

if anyone gets confused

:)

[normal mauve]

I hereby take back all my doubts about going to merch or running to the barrier first

i fucking need these shirts

[gleaming pulsar]

Lmao

[real birch]

they are soo good. i'm wondering when I should get there since I don't have VIP...

[gleaming pulsar]

All merch is gonna be on the west and south plaza

I emailed them

So goodluck

[normal mauve]

i NEED the explosion-y blue and yellow tye dye shirt

[gleaming pulsar]

I want the tye dye

[real birch]

https://tenor.com/view/i'm-in-gif-9512850103590681465

[real birch]

me TOO

[normal mauve]

also the blue and white tie dye

both tye dyes and the poster??? I don't know 😭

[real birch]

i'm contemplating that one bc it is too cute to pass up :(

[gleaming pulsar]

Do you guys think he’ll do a signing for the posters?

[real birch]

prob not

[gleaming pulsar]

Like what he did for second sky

😔

[real birch]

i went to a smaller venue for nurture and he dipped immediately. with all the tickets saying "NO ARTIST INVOLVEMENT" i have a feeling he's not gonna stick around for allathat

[gleaming pulsar]

My credit card is cooked

[normal mauve]

wait so we line up at west or south gate, once they let us in we grab merch then run to the stage?

[gleaming pulsar]

I’d imagine so

[real birch]

lol i'm gonna contemplate that $120 upgrade to VIP just for this. I feel so insane but I love the merch ;;;;;;;;;;;;;
but mostly i'm stressing how I have a second ticket that but idk who to take. i'm the only person I know irl that enjoys porter

[gleaming pulsar]

do it

You just

[gleaming pulsar]

:(

Take your mom

Bam

[mortal hollow]

hiya folks, sorry if this isn't allowed here (not that familiar with the rules), but I was planning on going to the DC show with 2 friends so have 3 tickets, but can't go anymore. Is anybody looking for tickets?

(i'm going to the SF one instead)

Sec 202, Row V, Seat 5 - 7

[inner tangle]

how much? might know some ppl that can take it off your hands

[weary kestrel]

I saw the live merch, idk nothings standing out to me on this catalog

What are yall thinking of getting

[real birch]

i’m thinking about getting these 4 and maybe the hat or stickers..

[weary kestrel]

I was thinking of getting the poster

That'd be sick as hell

[slim loom]

the poster is kinda ://///

[weary kestrel]

Idc + I'm going to vaporize you

[slim loom]

it just seems more like an advertisement

not even show specific or nothing

[weary kestrel]

OK but it looks cool? And I'm going to hang it on my wall? And people will ask about it?

[slim loom]

yeah :(

maybe i'm just a hater

stuck on madeon posters

after giving it some thought i really like the shirt top right

[rain tulip]

that's def the reason

most tour posters are literally advertisements

[weary kestrel]

Ughhhh the choices are so hard

[normal mauve]

limiting myself to 3 things

[inner tangle]

i should really do the same

sticker wouldn't count in there tho cuz it's only $10

[normal mauve]

(it saves me money if i make sticker count) 😭

[deep crag]

Thinking the tie dye short sleeve, worlds 2, and poster

Possibly stickers depending on the size

[rain tulip]

worlds 2, rolling at the rock show, devil shirt, maybe the etsy parody shirt

[normal mauve]

is etsy parody the one next to worlds 2

[rain tulip]

no its the top left

porter robinson (@porterrobinson) on X

bootleg tour merch frame 1 is crazy loool

Twitter · May 1, 2024, 9:45 PM

[normal mauve]

ohhhhhh

[deep crag]

I typically go with shirts like that but idk

Weirdly not a fan of it

Maybe since the prints on the front instead of the back

[mortal hollow]

yay! I paid $240 for all 3, but happy to let them go for a discount too 🙂 Like $180 for 3?

[scarlet compass]

rolling at the rock show shirt is hard

[weary kestrel]

It kinda does??

The color is a little weird

But it does go hard

I feel like it's the most vague out of them all to the point it could be a 2000s punk style graffiti sticker you see on bathroom stalls that eventually start becoming lines of t shirts a decade later

Like the nirvana smiley face

Or boognish logo that ween uses

[gleaming pulsar]

DAMMIT I GOT THE VIP ITEM SPOILED

Fire hat tho

[deep crag]

Shit that hat actually makes me wanna upgrade

I like it

[gleaming pulsar]

I’m glad hopefully I’ll get it

:p

[weary kestrel]

😔

[spark sable]

The merch hat you get with VIP?

[real birch]

oh god im gonna have to get vip. i want that Hat

[gleaming pulsar]

I think so

That’s what they said

“The VIP item for the North American leg appears to be this hat”

[real birch]

gimme my $120 hat

[normal mauve]

120 hat letsgooooooo

robinson revenue is up 📈

[real birch]

we are singlehandedly funding porter’s income

[real birch]

oh man trying to avoid spoilers is proving harder & harder as we get closer to the show

[weary kestrel]

I know!!

I can't avoid em

[inner tangle]

same

it looks sick but I don't wanna overindulge myself

[weary kestrel]

We all have to wear a blindfold and earmuffs till the show to avoid the spoilers

[rain tulip]

i see recommended stuff on youtube every time i refresh, there's no avoiding it

my algorithm knows me too well

[hearty fiber]

Previously I would get around that by pausing and wiping my watch and search history but now they don’t give you ANY recommendations if you do that, sooooo…

[rain tulip]

yeah that's why i'm kinda stuck with it

like at worst, i'm gonna see a frame of visuals

and have the temptation to click on it

[inner tangle]

mfw I have porter notifs enabled on IG and he keeps reposting concert vids

[gleaming pulsar]

If anyone wants the urban outfitters vinyl to find in store it’s in Tyson’s corner mall

😎

[real birch]

[gleaming pulsar]

[weary kestrel]

[gleaming pulsar]

There’s only 2 that I saw btw

😭

There was 4 in total but I coped 2 already

[weary kestrel]

2??

Why I oughta

[real birch]

[gleaming pulsar]

Lmao

[gleaming pulsar]

[teal forge]

i use these https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ER20XUniv--etymotic-research-er-20xs-high-fidelity-earplugs-universal-fit

[slim loom]

eargasms

[inner tangle]

saw pics of the vip lounge on twitter and now i'm really tempted to upgrade to vip lounge

hmmmmmmmmmm

[normal mauve]

send pics?

is it spoilers

[inner tangle]

spoilers for if you like looking at a wall of old porter memorabilia

||https://x.com/k9522_/status/1829984937329758450||

so damn cool

[normal mauve]

love

[real birch]

kewl

i’m seated in the same row as vip lounge, but i instead went with a platinum charity seat. I wonder if I’ll still be able to view the lounge from where I’m seated lol

unless the lounge is literally separate from the concert hall & those seats are just for the people who did buy those tickets. idk how it works

[inner tangle]

i assume that vip lounge is a completely separate thing you can go to

[real birch]

oh interesting……

seems cool..

[gentle ferry]

hi lovely ppl!!! presale ga ticketholder from dc here and late af to the chat

[normal mauve]

hello!!

are you as excited as we are

[gentle ferry]

no

more

[normal mauve]

simultaneously really excited but also somewhat anxious bc i started having tinnitus problems a few months ago and my silly anxious brain says that concert will make it get worse even though i always wear ear protection 😭

that's neither here nor there though, working on kandi bracelets :3

[gentle ferry]

awww sorry abt that :/ im a sound tech so tinnitus strikes fear into my heart

if u always wear hearing protection you'll be ok!! might wanna get something with even more dampening if ur paranoid tho

i was more excited when i was going w my partner but uh yeahh...

[normal mauve]

ah damn

i hope itll be just as fun for you though

[gentle ferry]

itll be a great time!! ive seen him like 3 times and the performance is always 👌

[wet patrol]

manifesting a pleasant night for you!!!

Can't wait for this show

[gentle ferry]

oh wait was anyone at echostage for the almost new years thing?

[normal mauve]

i was! had a horrible time for non-porter reasons 😭 that kind of concert is really not my vibe i've learned

[wet patrol]

I avoid Echostage even if I've been there numerous times

the vibe is not it

[normal mauve]

i didn't really like either of the openers and i was exhausted and in pain by the time he came on

[wet patrol]

argh I feel this because the openers feel like 10 hours

[normal mauve]

yeah i was excited to see "omg madeon dc show!" but saw echostage and was like nahhhhhh

[wet patrol]

SAME LOL

[gentle ferry]

yeah dog echostage vibes are never it for me

[normal mauve]

two 90 min sets for openers is WILD

[wet patrol]

once when I went I was on that rail for about 5 hours before Madeon came out

by the end of the night I was wishing for death LMAO

[normal mauve]

yeah i left early at the NYE show bc my feet & legs couldnt take it any longer and i hadnt had substantial food or water in like 6 hours

[gentle ferry]

the openers were fine cause i was drunk but the people just standing awkwardly and looking uncomfortable when anyone got excited was just...like bruh why are u here

[gentle ferry]

you are madeons strongest soildier 🫡

[wet patrol]

I try, but I feel too old to do that ever again

(even if I probably would once or twice more)

[normal mauve]

oh not to mention i was like 3rd in line at echostage and then i had issues scanning my ticket and then got lost and couldnt find the stage 😭 so i barely got barrier

[wet patrol]

oh nooooo I'm so sorry!!

[normal mauve]

accidentally wandered towards the bar and got so confused lmaooo

[normal mauve]

i think its quite funny in retrospect but i was PANICKING

[wet patrol]

I went to see Porter at Echostage YEARS ago

I think in 2013? 2014?

one of those years

[normal mauve]

damn

[gentle ferry]

my one saving grace was a bartender there ❤️ she must have been bored we talked for way too long lol

doxxing my age but i remember being 14 looking at the concert date like

[wet patrol]

I remember a friend I made who was actually 16, had a fake ID and she'd come with me to all of the 21+ Madeon/Porter shows LMAO

I'd back her up as posing as her older sister/guardian

[normal mauve]

love that

[gentle ferry]

good friends make good accomplices i always say

[wet patrol]

I will always help any younger fan get in to see them

if anyone messes with them, I will throw down

I'm like a tour mom LOL

[normal mauve]

one thing i'll never forget from that night is the way he screamed "LETS GOOOO" right as something comforting got to the drop and whenever the spotify version gets to that part i imagine his voice overlayed on the song :)

[gentle ferry]

*tour guardian angel

[wet patrol]

literally one of my happiest moments is making sure everyone around me enjoys seeing Porter or Madeon

whereever we are

thats why each SMILE! date I'm like EVERYONE MUST HAVE A BLAST

[gentle ferry]

mandatory fun (but actually cause everyone will be SMILE!ing)

[wet patrol]

yesss

[normal mauve]

mandatory SMILE!s

[gentle ferry]

there are so many porter moments but i was at nurture live in columbus and the visuals glitched out so he just took requests from the crowd to play on piano for like 20 mins

[normal mauve]

wait thats so cute

[gentle ferry]

i was just fully transfixed, i think theres a reddit video of it somewhere

FOUND! https://www.reddit.com/r/porterrobinson/comments/q30pou/the_computer_running_visuals_crashed_at_the/

[normal mauve]

my brain immediately goes to the lyric "i put my pictures down / they're not as good as the real thing"

[wet patrol]

I love that LOL

[gentle ferry]

wtf thats beautiful

[normal mauve]

:)

[gentle ferry]

like he made it so easy to experience it was really hard to take photos/video of it, i think i have a few but im just dancing through it so the footage is shaky af

[wet patrol]

Nurture really was a great time

[slim loom]

the set 🔥 the vibes😬

[gentle ferry]

like an echostage/soundcheck vibe is never it, never been harassed at a concert till then

[slim loom]

i always go early to get rail but people have no decency or respect 😭

[normal mauve]

so sad i missed nurture live shows but glad i'll be making it to smile :)

[slim loom]

soundcheck for wavedash was all good vibes

[normal mauve]

i was gonna go to that but still felt soured by my porter echostage experience :(

[gentle ferry]

FUCK I FORGOT THAT HAPPENEDDDD

[slim loom]

you COULD go to philly for smile and wavedash is playing an after

[normal mauve]

all ur luv was on track to be my top played song of the year but then smile got announced lmao

[slim loom]

but its the day before our show

[wet patrol]

Luckily everyone at Porter shows is normally nice, but once you start to go to clubs or other shows outside of his tours it can become dicey

[slim loom]

smile gets me too emotional

[gentle ferry]

inshallah i will be financially stable enough to make moves like that in the future

[normal mauve]

i simply dont have the ability to be in philly the night before sadly

[wet patrol]

yes you will

[slim loom]

i am acquiring student loans but that will not stop me 🫡

[gentle ferry]

yeah yall gonna see me sobbing when everything to me plays, it will not be pretty

[wet patrol]

It does not stop me I feel you

being an adult is hard, but my fun money goes to Porter tours

[gentle ferry]

awww u guyss ❤️ ❤️

[slim loom]

i have way too much fomo

[normal mauve]

me with russian roulette, easier to love you, and itrnhwtf

and on the off chance he plays some form of dullscythe

[wet patrol]

I was an absolute mess in Boston so I understand you entirely

[slim loom]

easier to love you already has me bawling idk how i'm gonna make it live

[normal mauve]

i'm very normal and have a spreadsheet for porter songs i sobbed to lmao

[wet patrol]

No spoilers but in my opinion, its one of his best live performances I've ever seen

[gentle ferry]

LMAOOO "MANY" 😭

[inner tangle]

if this doesn't top Good Faith Forever at the Brooklyn Mirage, imma come after you

[wet patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/furina-genshin-genshin-impact-clorinde-dancing-gif-11641188306856420319

[gentle ferry]

me asf trying to get through a breakup and hype myself for the show ik my ex is gonna be at simultaneously

[inner tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-lazy-tired-sleep-balance-gif-15893511

[wet patrol]

I meant moreso specifically for Porter shows, not to compare to GFF, because GFF is GFF and I miss it so much

[inner tangle]

ahhhh

yeah I mean my only experience with a porter show was Echostage, but I'm used to the rave scene so I was chill

[wet patrol]

you just have to have a better time than your ex

and you will

[inner tangle]

^

[normal mauve]

what if madeon just ran it back again

[wet patrol]

don't think about your ex either, just absorb the moment!

[inner tangle]

yeah!

also like

[wet patrol]

I'd lose my mind

My last GFF show was Red Rocks

I don't think it can be topped

[inner tangle]

you can take the opportunity to meet new people there

[wet patrol]

Exactly!

I'll be running around with my troll Porter flag

[inner tangle]

met new friends at the Madeon dj set back in July and we're talking about our respective porter shows we're going to

[wet patrol]

Oh yes

[inner tangle]

make friends :)

[wet patrol]

Meeting new friends at shows is the best

[slim loom]

gff

[normal mauve]

i was too stressed and overstimulated at echostage to make friends but i hope to be more social at smile :)

[gentle ferry]

i will try lol

[wet patrol]

The vibe at the SMILE! tour so far has been great

people have been super chill

[normal mauve]

how many shows have you been to, out of curiosity

only boston?

[wet patrol]

Boston and NYC so far

[normal mauve]

wowza

[wet patrol]

When requesting time off from work my scheduling admin was like

"You're going to see Porter again aren't you"

https://tenor.com/view/falling-running-fall-down-bye-travel-gif-16020083

accurate portrait of me

[inner tangle]

"porter? who's porter? sounds like a cool guy"

[wet patrol]

I took 3 coworkers to the NYC show who had never heard of him before

they walked out wanting to go to more shows lol

[gentle ferry]

shows plural is crazy my introverted ass could neverrr

[wet patrol]

I looove shows, music is just therapeutic

[gentle ferry]

see this is true but if i dont know anyone there my social battery drains like an old iphone

which leads me to my next topic: possible meetup??

[normal mauve]

ooh yippee

[wet patrol]

Definitely down!

[normal mauve]

i'll probably try to get to the line around 4 or 4:30

[slim loom]

i'm down 🫡

[inner tangle]

I'm very down for a meetup

tbh I actually did wanna ask for a big portercord group pic but I didn't know how to even coordinate that sort of thing

some people will wanna go straight to rail and others will float around until the concert

[wet patrol]

I'm in seats so no need for me to run for rail

😄

[normal mauve]

i got early access and plan to rush merch and then rail :(

could meet up afterward for a big pic?

[gentle ferry]

down as well!! ill be there early but we'll see if im that early lol

[hearty fiber]

Do y’all have a big structure or sign at the venue you could meet up at after the show?

[normal mauve]

also i'd be happy to try and save a spot at rail for someone else bc i'd like to have at least one person i know/am someone familiar with to be around, assuming i dont meet anyone in line

[wet patrol]

I will have this flag so if you see it, come say hi!

[gentle ferry]

see youre thinking logistically and im thinking "yay portercord!!"

venue map 👇

@normal mauve and other merch rushers use the west gate!

[inner tangle]

uhhhhh I've never been to merriweather itself, only to the commercial district right next to it that has bomb ass food places

oh yeah we could just go off of the map, I'm dumb

tbh I was thinking of going to a show there next Thursday just to scope out the venue and see what it's like

I'll just get lawn tickets cuz the show next Thursday is $30, a big whatever

if I go, I'll check what places are usually densely populated and which aren't while also not being too far from the stage

[hearty fiber]

Who’s playing next Thursday BTW

[gentle ferry]

ty for potentially scouting for the cause ❤️

[normal mauve]

thanks, that was my plan :)

[gentle ferry]

😅

im useful (at times) i promise!

gn everyone!

[inner tangle]

... kygo

🕵️

[deep crag]

definitely gonna be rushing merch so thanks for that

honestly really hoping i can get to the rail since im short, but knowing vip has early entry, i doubt i'll get it

[real birch]

i’ll be there early for vip :)

[fierce coral]

it feels so weird that it’s so soon

[deep crag]

oh fuck 10 days

[crystal hill]

Hello everyone

Are you guys doing any meetups or something?

[inner tangle]

still planning one out but yes!

[gleaming pulsar]

🤨

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-dog-suspicious-look-suspicious-doubt-dog-doubt-gif-23680990

[inner tangle]

hey man, you know any spots at the venue for a meetup

[crystal hill]

Ohh great can I join?

[crystal hill]

Not really I am not from Columbia or Washington DC. I am traveling from Virginia to DC to attend the concert.

[inner tangle]

ofc!

also keep in mind it's not actually DC, so you'll have to travel farther out than you think

[crystal hill]

Yeah, I am planning to take the metro from Loudoun Gateway to Takoma station then Uber to the venue, and coming time I probably just directly take an Uber to home.

[hearty falcon]

yeahhh i'm going there by train and learned the BWI train station was closer lol

[crystal hill]

Which one??

I mean the station name?

[inner tangle]

BWI station

that's the station name

[hearty falcon]

yeah since it's right next to the airport.

[crystal hill]

Ohh which station is closer to the venue ?

[hearty falcon]

the one mentioned is the closest train station, instead of the station in DC

[crystal hill]

Do you know the route of Bwi station?

Like if there is any chance I can take DC station and then switch to that station ?

[hearty falcon]

i'll be on train Northeast Regional 82 if that's what you mean. That's the train that starts at NFK (Norfolk, Virginia) to BOS (Boston, MA). This train does run through DC.

[gleaming pulsar]

Wanna join the boys I see lmao

[gleaming pulsar]

I’ll let you know soon

[crystal hill]

Okay mann

[crystal hill]

Okay

[real birch]

oh my fucking god i found my missing nurture hat lol

we are so back

[real birch]

what’s everyone wearing

[slim loom]

probably just my language t shirt and some black jeans

[weary kestrel]

You have a language t shirt?

What does that look like, didn't even know there was one

[slim loom]

its the worlds sketches one

https://di2ponv0v5otw.cloudfront.net/posts/2023/09/08/64fbf9fcbd06290acb55f086/m_wp_64fbfa2efed51f0faf3ff1e1.webp

[real birch]

that’s a cool & rare shirt

[maiden folio]

I'm prob just gonna wear a generic t-shirt

[rain tulip]

I’ve got the FSS one that I’m probably gonna wear

[deep crag]

Got a light blue button up I wanna pair up with the tye dye tour shirt

So hopefully it's not sold out when I get there

[weary kestrel]

I don't have any porter merch I can wear

Lost my only one....

Gone with the wind...😔

~~Wear a non-porter interest that you love!! Maybe someone else will fw it.

Or just buy & wear porter merch when u get there :3~~

i’m considering wearing some of my kikuo merch, but also i will probably be wearing some of the porter merch i buy…

[weary kestrel]

Thas the plan

LMAO I FOUND MY MERCH

LIKE JUST NOW

[inner tangle]

what merch is it?

[shut steeple]

heeey is anyone tryna share an uber straight from dc to the venue? msg me!

also excited for a potential meetup

[weary kestrel]

Nurture hat

[inner tangle]

o!

[weary kestrel]

I'm so happy

[gleaming pulsar]

9 more days gang

after the weekend, just 7 more days

[hearty falcon]

Got no Porter merch yet so probably my Madeon Good Faith Forever shirt

[hearty fiber]

I mean I wore my GBG hat to Forest Hills.

[normal mauve]

my merch might ship before the concert 👀

[inner tangle]

i was lowkey thinking of doing a bit where since i wore my cheerleader jersey to madeon @ echostage that i'd wear my liquid crewneck hoodie at porter, but the cheerleader jersey is too perfect

[hearty fiber]

I mean it got you noticed at the Round1 in Hicksville lol

[inner tangle]

yea

[real birch]

oh my god; i share your happiness after having just found mine (wild)

[weary kestrel]

I saw that and was like "I feel inspired to look for my long lost hat now"

I thought I left it at a restaurant weeks ago but reached behind a piece of furniture and found it

Nurture hat bros 4 LYFE

[real birch]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS

I found mine stuffed in a random shelf in my closet underneath a pile of blankets. I thought I had like left it at someone's house or that it fell out of my car somewhere....
fuck yes

[weary kestrel]

The merchandise gods look down upon us with good intention

[real birch]

https://tenor.com/view/praying-hands-pray-faith-hands-hands-together-gif-23286601

[weary kestrel]

I was thinking of just getting the smile hat

But nurture hat is such a banger design

Now I'm happy I found it

[real birch]

i feel that so hard lol

it really is. i may still get the porter hat? but not too interested after finding the scribble omg. Plus I got VIP and the hat is v sick for that

the scribble is just... so iconic and cool

[weary kestrel]

Wtf snag me a hat too

[real birch]

lol i gotchu

[weary kestrel]

500 hats

[real birch]

Porter Mega Fan kicked out after stealing entire inventory of VIP Hats.

[weary kestrel]

The heist of a lifetime

[real birch]

i hope porter would execute me with the KYO sword for the high treason

[weary kestrel]

Hope...

Calm down bro!

[inner tangle]

[inner tangle]

someone remind me on monday to call merriweather to ask if glow sticks are allowed

their business hours ended at 5 today so i couldnt get ahold of em

[gray bay]

damn this show coming up fast i need to figure out what bag i can take

maybe get another pair of pants

i dont have no more good concert pants

[gray bay]

what i was trying to figure out is what qualifies as a backpack or backpack style purse

like is the issue if i can have it on my back

if i bring a tote bag would they stop me at the gate and say that is too backpack-style

I'll email them later

[deep crag]

Would like drawstring be considered backpack style?

Don't wanna be holding merch around for 3+ hours

[hearty fiber]

No

[inner tangle]

if it's empty then prolly not

you can always ask tho

[inner tangle]

aight, so DISCORD MEETUP FRIENDOS - my buddy who's been to merriweather before said if we wanted to do a meetup & group photo that he'd do it outside the bathrooms or near Stand 2/Marg bar

so just somewhere within this area

[gritty totem]

Yeah that’s a good spot

it sits kind of on a hill so you can get a good backdrop of the stage

[tropic notch]

hey gamers i'm gonna be making some smile bracelets and bringing em

[real birch]

[ivory owl]

oone week yall

[maiden folio]

one week

[rain tulip]

did anyone ever talk to the venue about when early entry is

[tropic notch]

no clue but i'm curious as well

[real birch]

[inner tangle]

I'll call em on Monday (alongside calling to see what their pen light policy is)

I wanna see how early we can line up too but I assume that they don't really care how early it is as long as we're not literally camping out 24 hours in advance

[hearty fiber]

You’ll get an email at least 3 days before the show with info about check in

[wet patrol]

It’s here! And ready for DC 😂😂

[gleaming pulsar]

6 more days

[gleaming pulsar]

👍

Looks amazing

[wet patrol]

So ready!!!!

[gentle ferry]

united states of smile:D

god i need an outfit so badddddddd

[real birch]

same i still cannot figure my fit out

[normal mauve]

sameee

[gentle ferry]

ok the muse hit me and shes saying black cargo skirt

she did not elaborate further

[normal mauve]

worst case I'm wearing skirt + small top so that I can buy merch shirt and wear it over

[gentle ferry]

oooo i think thats my new plan but ill wear the nurture tour tee as a backup! i hope i dont have to change in a porta potty lol

[inner tangle]

6 days huh

[hearty fiber]

SO THAT’S WHAT THE ASTERISK WAS FOR???

[inner tangle]

I guess The Killers isn't presented by Live Nation?

[rain tulip]

PSA

like, there's sweat and stuff, don't get me wrong, but do you know how bad it's gotta be for someone to bring this up on reddit

i've seen like multiple posts and comments about this ATL show in particular

[scarlet compass]

damn got me thinking if i should bring my chaewon or shen yun flag lmfao

[hearty fiber]

TBF I’d imagine it won’t be as bad here because of this being an outdoor venue

[wet patrol]

AHAHA I love

[wet patrol]

wild, it HAD to be bad for this to be here

[weary kestrel]

I went to a venue where some dude in front of me had the weirdest smelling cologne imaginable, and combined with his odor he just smelled like a lo mein dinner partly covered by old lady perfume

[wet patrol]

"lo mein dinner partly covered by old lady perfume" WHEEZING

[weary kestrel]

It was truly something I have never smelled before

[deep crag]

Goddamn I love it when LATS comes on over my works radio

[weary kestrel]

https://tenor.com/view/guy-crying-music-gif-12955947

[gleaming pulsar]

WAIT A MINUTE

[inner tangle]

heh

[gray bay]

this funny

[young lake]

So which is the better move, Zone A or Zone B parking?

[inner tangle]

A is closer but more of a pain to get out of after the concert

[oak thunder]

If anyone is driving to the Merriweather show, there's a mall right next to it called Columbia mall, and there is a big ass parking lot in front of it. You can park your car there for free. Ive done it for every single concert I've gone to at merriweather over the past 10 years and never once had a problem with getting towed or getting a ticket

[rain tulip]

Can confirm, we did exactly this when we saw Illenium there last year ^^^

[real birch]

Would that be better than the A parking lot, y’all think?
I may do that, since I chose A myself lol

[fierce coral]

wait i thought when we bought the ticket we got parking alongside the ticket?

[deep crag]

there was an option to get parking but it wasn't automatic

[slim loom]

you can get it as an add on too

[deep crag]

which also, i just checked my ticket. there used to be a link to the vip upgrade above the parking

wonder if thats just gone now

[deep crag]

this link still works just weird not to see it where it was like last night

[slim loom]

just says tickets sold out for vip for me

[deep crag]

oh damn nvm that changed within the last 10 minutes

no more vip for dc then

[slim loom]

ye

seems like they're taking it all down before the show starts and converting them to ga

[rain tulip]

My 221 dollar purchase is lookin realll dumb rn

[normal mauve]

wait what

[slim loom]

vip kinda expensiveeee

[normal mauve]

so vip is the exact same as ga now??

confused

[slim loom]

nono they're just converting the unsold ga vip into regular ga

[normal mauve]

ohhhhhhhhhh

smart i guess

[slim loom]

smart for maximizing profit

[normal mauve]

does there exist a post somewhere in the spoiler channels that shows prices for all the tour merch

[slim loom]

#merch-discussion message

[normal mauve]

ty 🙏

[real birch]

cannot wait

was lowkey considering buying a second vip upgrade last night for my second ticket, but oh well

[slim loom]

same :(

[real birch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YWX3mRQZ88

me when I go up to the merch counter on saturday: "yeah uhhh lemme get uhhhh yeah uhhhh one of everything, Large please."

but seriously, does anyone know how it'll go like can I go back to my car to put things away if I get a buncha merch and get back easy with my VIP pass, or nah

never been to merriweather

[slim loom]

seems like there is no reentry

[real birch]

WEARING ALL THJE MERCH IN ONE GO

i'm only getting a few things tho so i think i'll be fine. plus i think there's an open seat next to mine

whoever goes with me is most likely not gonna get merch so i'll just deck them out in whatever i buy too probs...

https://tenor.com/view/porter-robinson-hard-style-kick-of-sadness-and-despair-gif-9383920044062579055

[inner tangle]

imma just leave my stuff with friends in lawn section LOL

[real birch]

fair LOL

[crystal hill]

Hello everyone

What up ready for the show on Saturday ?

[gleaming pulsar]

yes

[inner tangle]

what time do you guys wanna do this meetup/group photo?

[gleaming pulsar]

today

rn actually

[inner tangle]

bwuh

[tropic notch]

my flight isn't till friday don't play w me... LOL

[crystal hill]

Around 4 or 5 before the show door opens realistically .

I think 5 will be the best time.

[inner tangle]

tbh my only concern is that ppl will be lining up earlier than 5, myself included

[tropic notch]

indeed, me included as well lol

[inner tangle]

so it has to be from 7-8, but a small snag is that people will also either book it to merch or rail

i was thinking after the show, but that might be too late for some people :(

[tropic notch]

i'm sadly gonna be booking it to merch because i want to try to get something in my size 😭

[crystal hill]

Yeah I

[hearty falcon]

when exactly is doors open again?

like 6 or so?

oh nvm it's 6:30

[inner tangle]

is anyone by any chance selling an extra GA ticket

friend from texas is looking to fly in and see porter with all of my friends in GA

[mortal hollow]

I'm selling 3 seated tickets if that helps? 🙂

Sec 202, Row V, Seat 5 - 7 - at this point happy to take any reasonable price

[hearty falcon]

I'm directly in front of those seats lmao

[inner tangle]

i'll keep u posted

[mortal hollow]

haha damn would've been great to experience this with you

Come to SF! 🙂

[inner tangle]

are you not going to this show? :(

[mortal hollow]

Unfortunately not, that's why I've gotta sell. I live in SF and was going to fly in for it but plans changed 😦

[inner tangle]

oh man sorry dude

[hearty falcon]

Yeah this show was the closest to me and easily have a connecting train so this was my venue of choice.

If this show wasn't an option, would've gone to the one in Philly since the train connects there too lol

Went there to see the DJ Set at last year's hijinx event

[tropic notch]

dang im flying from texas too

[normal mauve]

out of curiosity, why fly? is it just the concert that makes more sense for schedule

[weary kestrel]

From Texas too like whaat

[inner tangle]

@mortal hollow sending u a friend request so we can talk in DMs

[mortal hollow]

Got it

[tropic notch]

its closer to my bf, and i really don't like texas plus i'm like a 5hr drive away from the locations in texas and don't have a working vehicle, so i'd rather just fly and go with my bf in dc

[normal mauve]

ohhhhh that's so valid!

[real birch]

damn yeah makes sense totally valid

[tropic notch]

yeah although i do feel a bit overwhelmed in cities compared to where i live its been a lot of fun, i saw wavedash a little while ago in d.c too

[inner tangle]

dc is cool but merriweather is absolutely NOT in dc

[tropic notch]

yeah i realized that a little while ago, its a bit inbetween baltimore and d.c right

[inner tangle]

the area itself that it's in is a richer area with a lot of cool places to hit up, like a mall nearby

it's like directly in the middle of the two of them, yes

this is to say that it's not really a city

it's more of like a rich suburban area with a downtown-like area

[tropic notch]

nice! fam used to live just a stone throw away from there too, a very long time ago so it'll be nice to see where they lived

ahhh gotcha.. to be fair i'm a 30 minute drive away from any sort of store, so even a town is big to me now

living in the middle of nowhere is not very eventful

[inner tangle]

ah

then you'll like this area

if you arrive early and need to kill time somewhere, there's this shopping plaza basically right next to the venue called Merriweather District and they have some really good food places

[tropic notch]

ooooh sounds nice

yeah prob gonna get there pretty early

[real birch]

same...

[tropic notch]

i gotta lock in and make some bracelets to bring so i can give them out to whoever wants them, just gotta wait for some beads i need to get here

[inner tangle]

shit like i was only gonna take half the day off from work on saturday but they gave me the whole ass day, so...

[real birch]

i took the whole ass weekend off

need time to mentally prepare, time to enjoy the concert, and time after to digest it all

https://tenor.com/view/swag-cinnamoroll-cinnamoroll-sanrio-character-sunglasses-cool-gif-16744730135346703585

[tropic notch]

im gonna need to rest bigtime right after the concert because i know i'm gonna be exhausted

hopefully i don't get sick again since every time i come in contact with people i contract something afterwards 😭

covid twice and pneumonia the 3rd time

plssss

[inner tangle]

i might go drinking after the concert tbh

the aforementioned Merriweather District has a sick ass barcade that i go to every now and then

would be a nice afterparty spot

[tropic notch]

ooooh sounds sick

[real birch]

i may go

[inner tangle]

bc also like fuck getting a drink at the venue itself LOL

[tropic notch]

im not a big drinker but its a good idea if my group isn't dead after the concert lol

[inner tangle]

i did mention it a while ago, but the ddr machine at the barcade has the years of war remix on it

gonna go crazy

[tropic notch]

nooooo wayyyyy

that sounds sick LOL

[inner tangle]

yeah i've only played it once and i barely remember how hard it was, so surely being drunk will make things spicy

[real birch]

being drunk will fix any skill issues dw

[tropic notch]

^

[inner tangle]

[slim loom]

@inner tangle ga tickets on stubhub for 70$ after fees

one for 81$ that's instant transfer

[inner tangle]

ah shit, lil late

already gonna lock something down with zenful

[slim loom]

for some reason ga is 300$ resale in philly

[hearty falcon]

tf

[tropic notch]

damn... thats atrocious

[real birch]

tf kinda venue is philly lol that's insane

damn

[hearty falcon]

to compare

[deep crag]

I don't think I've actually seen pics of the venue

Looks nice

[weary kestrel]

I've barely gotten to see it, now I see where my seats are

Pumped as hell

[slim loom]

i simply cannot wait

4 days doesn't seem real

[weary kestrel]

I had a dream about seeing it and like

Just the thought of seeing every one of these songs live while also having no idea what the show has in store for us gets me excited as fuck

Been trying to keep myself spoiler free

[hearty falcon]

Same. Youtube keeps recommending me recordings of shows that already happened >.<

[weary kestrel]

YEAH like wtf!!!

[real birch]

yeah youtube and instagram have been shoving every video of the concerts down my throat

[weary kestrel]

Luckily this is my only social media

[gentle ferry]

wow the presale ga holders (me) got finessed a little

also is anyone driving in from dc? my ride canceled 🫠

[tropic notch]

ive been avoiding most spoilers i just really wanna be wowed when i see the concert so despite the urge to watch them i haven't been ><

[slim loom]

i think this will be one of the porter robinson concerts of all time

[rain tulip]

Yeah the venue’s very pretty. It’s in that sweet spot of pavilion vs regular outdoor, because the pavilion’s got some gaps that help with airflow and not dying of heat as much

https://youtu.be/jqnGHiksK58?si=ZhADc2NyZkbTfb2S

This was my view for the Illenium concert they had there

I’ve never been down in the GA pit tho, so that’s gonna be interesting

[wet patrol]

I had COVID right after the NYC show and have spent the entire week recovering to make sure I’m healthy to rock out with everyone in DC

Finally feeling like myself again today 😂

[heavy pelican]

Tysm for this info my buds were late to tickets but we were able to get them some thank you

[slim loom]

[gentle ferry]

my roomate had it last week and i managed to stay healthy and go to work for merch money, glad u recovered in time!

[wet patrol]

Me too honestly, it was a rough week 😭

[real birch]

hope we have a safe n healthy time

[inner tangle]

tried to call merriweather to ask about some stuff and they hung up on me :/

[scarlet compass]

plz we don’t anyone getting sick

some of us got zedd and isogrime next week

[inner tangle]

alright so I gotta call em back on Saturday about if penlights are allowed bc the tour managers or whatever might have different rulings on what is and isn't good to go

and no info on early entry yet, so for y'all that got it I'd just wait on the email this week before the show

[slim loom]

which one will you be attending

[inner tangle]

bold of you to think he's not trying to go to both

[scarlet compass]

both 😩

gotta support my fellow filipino isoxo

[slim loom]

[inner tangle]

ISO'S FILIPINO?????

AND YOU ARE TOO??????

[scarlet compass]

he’s half? filipino-indonesian?

and yes i am

[inner tangle]

dude finding out that certain celebs are Filipino is like playing a game of Mafia

[scarlet compass]

uy pilippines!! rah 🦅

https://tenor.com/view/goku-goku-ultra-instinct-philippines-filipino-swagapino-gif-13220061727313337525

[deep crag]

Would recommend getting a test. I got COVID in like March and I was contagious for like 2 weeks after my symptoms went away.

[wet patrol]

I sure did! Reason why I am back at work

Two years ago was worse, I was knocked out by it for 3 weeks 😳

[ivory owl]

yaaaaa

[tropic notch]

pink hair dye time

[ivory owl]

STOPPP

i could never omg

[real birch]

i love the fit!

[real birch]

4 more days, yet i’m still deciding on my own fit

[tropic notch]

same

wanna wear all pink but i barely have anything very pink

thats why im compensating for it with my hair

[real birch]

fair

[chrome mason]

i should send my fit

FRICK my shirts in the car tho

[weary kestrel]

I think I'm gonna go fairly normal compared to everyone else

But it'll look cool to me ok

[tropic notch]

i don't have any crazy good fits im also poor LOL but

im super excited

[inner tangle]

simply wear pink clothing

ez

[tropic notch]

thats the plan 😎

[normal mauve]

i only have green clothing :(

[weary kestrel]

I only got black

[deep crag]

i'm personally just trying to match up with the tie dye merch

[normal mauve]

^^^^ im probably just gonna build an incomplete outfit under the assumption that I toss on a tye dye shirt as soon as I get there

only thing is that the long sleeved tye dye is sooooo cool but it might be too hot

[deep crag]

trying to manifest a surprise vs/a2e/dj potaro set for this show

[tropic notch]

i mean haven't the temps at night been a little chillier up there? and its an outdoor venue... am i gonna be overdressed

but i guess i'm also used to way hotter temperatures lol

[crystal hill]

I mean it's just me or everyone I saw at the ticket master venue of the show more than half of the seats are blank. So it's going to be pretty empty.

[rain tulip]

Welcome to like every smile show

Thanks LN

[inner tangle]

not happening, they don't have that kind of time lol

ericdoa is already gonna be opening, so

[deep crag]

one can dream tho

would love to hear "dj potaro has 13 different kinds of shampoo and conditioner in the shower, and only 1 bottle of bodywash, and it's running out" in person

[scarlet compass]

i can bring my potaro plushie if that’ll help

[scarlet compass]

also bump

[gritty totem]

wonder if there’ll be a chance to meet him afterward

i’ve seen a couple people able to wait by the bus

i want to show him my worlds tattoo

3 MORE DAYSSSSS

RAHHHHHHHHHH

Me running with the last porter longsleeve:

https://tenor.com/view/run-explosions-gif-13620594

[tropic notch]

5 bracelets done...

[normal mauve]

1 done 😭

need to lock in on friday

[twin hinge]

OMG 3 DAYSSSSSS

[gray bay]

Tickets are available in Ticketmaster now for this. Get em in your wallets

[twin hinge]

HOLYYYYY SHITTTT

[fierce coral]

do doors open at 8

[gray bay]

6:30

[fierce coral]

oh so porter is 8

?

[gray bay]

also no

[fierce coral]

oops

[gray bay]

ericdoa at 8

[fierce coral]

LOL

[gray bay]

porter at 9 something

[fierce coral]

ahhh ok ok that makes sense

[gray bay]

probably 9:00

and VIP doors open at IDK i havent gotten the email for that yet

[normal mauve]

yeah this is so frustrating

[fierce coral]

if u have seating it doesn’t rlly matter to come as soon as doors open right?

[gray bay]

yeah if you have seats it doesnt really matter unless you're desparate to get merchandise

[fierce coral]

swag thanks

[gray bay]

or the coldest can of dasani at the bar

lowkey it dont really matter for GA either. its not gonna be a very big pit. we all gonna have a fine view

and the lawn you're gonna have a bad view no matter what you do

i guess what i'm trying to say is dont camp overnight

[deep crag]

hoepfully i can get a good spot in the pit

somehow i manage to get the rail at shows i go to, but always at the far left of the stage so it messes up my neck

[gray bay]

i'm gonna try to stay back a tiny bit far enough to get a good full view of the stage

and hopefully in a good spot that if i need to pee it wont be a hassle leaving or getting back there

[normal mauve]

i wanna be at rail as central as possible, ideally biased towards the left side (right side of stages is icky for some reason, i can't explain it)

being vip early entry and showing up at like 4:30 i really hope thats enough 😭

[rain tulip]

true but… I don’t have seats

[fierce coral]

huh i was talking abt myself

[rain tulip]

The GA early entry folk needa know the TIME

and the pavilion ain’t tellin us

[umbral field]

do you happen to remember what you get with vip? they took down the page

[normal mauve]

uhhhhh

[rain tulip]

That exclusive hat

A lanyard

[normal mauve]

early entry, first pick at merch, exclusive hat + vip badge/lanyard

something else too

[umbral field]

what time is vip entry?

[rain tulip]

Access to a bar or some shit

Access to a lounge if you pay even more

[normal mauve]

photo op or something

[rain tulip]

Did we learn what the photo op was

[normal mauve]

idk

i'm avoiding any and all spoilers :D

i've only seen a pic of the ||merch booth and an accidental glance at a visual during russian roulette||

^^ not even spoilers at all but just to be super duper safe

spoiler alert he's gonna play a song off of smile on the smile tour \j

[umbral field]

spoiler alert he's gonna play

[normal mauve]

play alert he's gonna spoiler

i hardly know er 🥁

[gray bay]

they havent sent out the email that says yet

idk what the standard has been for the other shows

[rain tulip]

spoiler alert he’s gonna

[umbral field]

i see

thank you!

[gray bay]

might be 5:45 but of course defer to the VIP email when they send it probably tomorrow

[real birch]

supposedly, the last vip thing is a small porter plush-figure-thing for your keychain that'll ship separately

[normal mauve]

:OOOOOOO WHOAAA

[real birch]

also, here's the hat

[inner tangle]

i assume that the photo op is probably gonna be the inflatable

[pulsar turret]

I know it's last minute, but I've got a reserved seat ticket for sale - Section 300. Something came up and I can't go anymore

[real birch]

from #announcements

i'm so stoked

sec 200 row D, i'm going to look porter in the fuckin g EYES

kinda wish i went with ga for the experience of being right on the stage basically, but i like that i won't have to rush to reserve a good spot

i wonder if anyone bought the lounge tickets

[tropic notch]

i second this

also i finally got all the bracelets done my back hurts...

[normal mauve]

yeah i'm experiencing a little bit of "oh god my feet are gonna HURT" kind of regrets but i like the idea of being RIGHT there

when i was at rail @ echostage it was kinda disappointing with the giant ass LED dj table thingy in the way of seeing him, but this is like... he's right there

[inner tangle]

I don't think you'll have this sort of problem here

[weary kestrel]

I'm pretty far back sadly

A little worrying

[rain tulip]

yeah the GA compared to the stage height is pretty close

[normal mauve]

ooooh

[real birch]

[tropic notch]

so excited but nervous

gotta pack tomorrow

[weary kestrel]

Here we fuckin go yall

About a day left

[inner tangle]

the dopamine rush when that song came on, not from the song itself playing but knowing that it would be the first time that KYO would be played live at a show ever

[inner tangle]

Arylia? she was the closer so idk if there was anyone else

[slim loom]

i think she was the same one

she played before and after wavedash i think

[tropic notch]

OH YEAH THATS RIGHT IT WOULD'VE BEEN

[inner tangle]

she was dope

she played a remix of Pay No Mind during the closer set lol

[inner tangle]

yeah world premiere of a crowd going "BITCH I'M TAYLOR SWIFT"

[slim loom]
