twin hinge
#

normal mauve
#

gray bay
#

Think so

normal mauve

#

:D

real birch
twin hinge
#

I won't bring just pink

#

Just in case anybody wants some, but I run out

inner tangle
#

wait when you say glow sticks do you mean- gotcha

twin hinge
#

I have both types

#

In these bags

inner tangle
#

they just said "yes" so i think those are allowed, but the ones i meant are pen lights

twin hinge
#

?

inner tangle
#

like these ones

twin hinge
#

Oh meepston would you like a custom porter shirt? I make custom shirts and it only costs me a couple dollars

inner tangle
#

i dont think merriweather really cares either way so if it glows and it's a stick then it's cool

twin hinge
#

You can have it free

inner tangle
#

oh! uhhhh sure i guess?

twin hinge
#

Oh good :3

#

What size?

inner tangle
#

M, i'm 5'5 and built like a twink PotaroDies

twin hinge
#

Oh wait probably a small then

inner tangle
#

nah M is usually what i wear anyways

twin hinge
#

Oh oki

inner tangle
#

i really appreciate it tho!

twin hinge
#

Yeah no problem? What color? Black or pink

#

?

inner tangle
#

pink!

twin hinge
#

oh shit I only have pink in small. Is that still okay? I'm sorry

inner tangle
#

oh if that's the case then black is coo

twin hinge
#

nvm I can just order a medium. I just realized that lmao

inner tangle
#

o

twin hinge
#

shit.

#

Not without it being 10 bucks

#

Black small is really the only size I have on hand, and everything else to get next day is crazy expensive. Are you still okay with small black? I know I've been pushing with the small size shirt, but this is the only special order where I can't find anything. I'm sorry.

wet patrol
twin hinge
#

I can still do custom logos and an optional back design

wet patrol
#

Gonna light it up like I did in NYC

inner tangle
#

THERE YA GO

twin hinge
#

I'll bring mine!

wet patrol
#

Yes!!!

gray bay
#

I wanted to bring a flip camera so bad but I procrastinated too long on trying to buy one rip

twin hinge
#

Oh @inner tangle so at 7 we're going to meet up at section 303 Row AA seat 8

gray bay
#

My 3ds retired

gray bay
#

I think it would be the perfect vibe for the show

#

So I'm giving that idea out free of charge for anyone going to dates further out

inner tangle
twin hinge
#

HOL UP

#

WAIT

#

Which porter logo would you like?

#

?

inner tangle
#

yknow

#

i never thought i'd get this far LMAO

twin hinge
#

oh the smile logo?

inner tangle
#

which ones are you working with?

twin hinge
#

Would you like the smile face on the back? I can do that

twin hinge
inner tangle
#

oh snap

#

yknow what, you can do what you want

#

like uhhhhh surprise me (i guess?)

twin hinge
#

You got it!

inner tangle

# gray bay

does this mean i cant bring my eevee backpack?

#

its not really a backpack its more of a plushie that goes on my back and it only has one pocket

gray bay
#

you might want to email them and ask

tropic notch
#

i might have to send an email and ask with specific specifications

#

yeahhh

gray bay
#

i wasnt sure what specifically about backpacks is the issue, at first i thought it was being able to have it on the back but this makes me think they really just dont want lots of pockets

real birch
#

i imagine it also has to do with the thickness of the padding in some backpacks, giving way to hidden storage space that could easily be overlooked… vs. like just a simple drawstring bag.

tropic notch
#

interesting

#

well hopefully i can bring it because its more of an accessory than anything, i just wanted to store the bracelets i made in there and maybe a water bottle if i can fit it lol

real birch
#

something like that is probably more than acceptable i’d think

tropic notch
#

(if they allow water bottles which i hope they do but if not, also not an issue 😭 )

#

and they probably have some sort of screening so i don't mind them looking through stuff and etc

#

idk we'll see

real birch
#

at worst, you’ll just have to let security hold onto it until you leave so 🤷🏽

inner tangle
real birch
#

i brought a fucking knife and pepper spray to a kikuo concert and they were just like “yeah just come ask for it when you leave” so i imagine it’d be similar for a lil backpack

#

Parking lots open at 5:30pm

#

does that mean we have to wait to park until 5:30

rain tulip
#

unless you find one that isn't under those rules

#

which they do have others out there

tropic notch
#

they said its still not allowed

#

gg

real birch
inner tangle
#

yeah i'd just assume anything with backpack-like straps is a no go then

#

or if it is a backpack then a clear bag

tropic notch
#

they said clear is fine

rain tulip
real birch
#

cool…

deep crag
#

2 days.

deep crag
#

That's gonna be me tomorrow night listening to the 2021 potaro set

real birch
#

same except with all of porter’s discography so i’m refreshed & ready to go

twin hinge
#

Hey @inner tangle

#

Hey idk if they'll let me bring the shirts through security. If they don't, I will give it to you after the concert

inner tangle
#

all good either way dude 👍

twin hinge
#

got it

#

I'll call during their office hours tomorrow and see if I can bring them, because I'm not selling them.

gentle ferry
twin hinge
#

Help

fierce coral
#

idk how im gonna function tomorrow

#

gonna be anxious all day cuz of saturday

hearty fiber
twin hinge
inner tangle
#

i was aiming to be pre-5 pm, but if the parking lot wont open until 5:30 then i probably wont be able to get in the line until 5:45 minimum

rain tulip
#

i wanna get there pretty early

#

we got a hotel near the venue

twin hinge
#

K. We'll be there around 6. Could you just hang around until then to get your shirt?

#

We'll be there asap

inner tangle
#

in the parking lot or the line?

twin hinge
#

Parking lot

#

Or the stands and vendors outside of the pavillion, but still on the campus.

twin hinge
inner tangle
#

yeah probably

twin hinge
#

👍

inner tangle
#

i don't think it'll be super bad if i can't be literally right at the front for doors open lol

#

i just wonder how long this line will be before 5 PM

inner tangle
#

so my intention was to park and then line up

twin hinge
#

Oh

#

I mean do you think you could wait until 6 if you are gonna get there at like 5:45, and then the moment we park, I could just give you the shirt?

#

Because we have the two other people getting shirts

#

Sorry. I'm just stressed planning.

inner tangle
#

I can def do that lol, it's all good dude

#

what I was saying is that I'm not pressed to be there immediately and rush to get merch

twin hinge
#

Oh okay. We can meet at the merch stand if that's fine.

gleaming pulsar
#

brother

#

think outside the box

#

Mall parking, it’s gonna be a little far but you’ll be able to park sooner

#

@inner tangle

#

If you wanted

wet patrol
#

Having seats is so great, I don't mind getting there at doors

inner tangle
#

this was my secondary option but man i really do not wanna have to walk all that way

gleaming pulsar
#

True

#

If you park at JCPenney tho it’s an 8 minute walk

I remember playing Nurture once when it came it out and her reaction was "not my cup of tea"

gray bay
twin hinge
#

Just finished memorizing the entire dialogue to year of the cup

normal mauve
#

lol ive been doing that subconsciously

#

i've been growing to love the little interludes where its just lil wayne yapping, the way he enunciates his sentences is so satisfying for some reason

#

"nobody knows whats in the cup!" and "when people drink alcohol, they reACT!"

real birch
#

i recommend watching the whole interview, as well. it’s very good i think

gentle ferry

#

hey man, you didn't give us any pics of the fits 🤷‍♂️

gray bay
#

I said I could provide pictures

#

The onus is on you to ask for your due diligence

inner tangle
#

i mean the porter shirt probably makes the most sense here to wear

#

wait

#

wearing a concord shirt might be kinda funny actually

fierce coral
#

having a concord shirt is craaaazy

gray bay
#

I bought it the day before it shut down

#

I wanted to get a copy of the game but every store in town already pulled it

#

They never pulled the merch though

inner tangle
#

yeah i still see the merch on playstation's merch store for full price lmao

gray bay
#

I almost got the beanie because I think it genuinely looks nice

#

But hats and I aren't on speaking terms rn

Hi, I have 3 GA floor tickets for tomorrow. Life issues have occurred and I am unable to go.

Not personally asking for anything for them but ask you don’t sell them if you do request them. Paid a decent amount for them so I’d hate for them to go to waste. FCFS, please message if interested

twin hinge
#

Hold on imma make a checklist for everyone for bringing necessities

gray bay
#

The merriweather post pavilion is a cashless venue. =)

#

Or well all the food and drink stands are cashless

#

You can buy merch with it but that's it

twin hinge
#

I know the merch stands arent

twin hinge
gray bay
#

You can bring food though that's pretty hype

Can I bring food and/or drink?
Personal food items in a clear, disposable, non-glass container are permitted (1 per guest). Additionally, one empty or factory-sealed water bottle allowed per customer (refer to show for exceptions).

twin hinge
#

So you're not hungry during the performance

wet patrol
#

You reminded me I forgot my earplugs 😭

twin hinge
#

eyyy at least you didn't forget

gentle ferry
#

bring hand sanitizer portergun

wet patrol
#

Also deodorant

tropic notch
#

will the merch stands still take card tho

#

STUPID QUESTION

#

but

#

i would still bring cash in case their card services stop working i mean

gray bay
tropic notch
#

good good good

gray bay
#

It's just that they're the only thing that also accepts cash

#

In addition to card

tropic notch
#

yeah that makes sense i just get paranoid hahahah

gray bay
#

I get the same way. Luckily everything usually works out there

tropic notch
#

yuuuup

gray bay
#

As long as you filled out the 80 page quiz so you can turn it in at the parking gate. You did the quiz right? They won't let you in unless you get an A+

#

It was sooooo hard doing the trigonometry section for me

#

And the essay question took me a week

gray bay
#

It is what it is fr

tropic notch
gray bay
#

But nah fr it's all gonna work out great though I know I'm gonna be a little stressed til halfway through ericdoa

tropic notch
#

i'm only really stressed about actually being able to get merch

#

otherwise im not too stressed

gray bay
#

It probably won't be too much a hassle if you can get there not too long after doors. If you have a seat it'll help. Because you don't have to worry about jockeying for position for the show

#

They have merch at the West gate and the south gate

#

So on both sides of the actual stage

#

I assume they'll have stock at both of those

#

And VIP entry is at the West gate so I'm guessing when doors open there'll be more stock at the south. Because everyone VIP will be buying at West

gray bay
#

Well VIP you don't gotta stress about shit. It's the people that get in after us that need to worry

tropic notch
#

yeah...

#

Poor folks gonna try to buy shit and then see me in the crowd wearing 80 shirts I bought

good morning

rain tulip
inner tangle
#

but like for how much tho

rain tulip
inner tangle
#

why is the hoodie trending on their site..........

rain tulip
#

because it is merch from a game that no longer exists

#

that's so funny

inner tangle
#

hold that thought

#

oh man they really do not want me to find battleborn merch on amazon

gray bay
#

It's funny because I had full access to both of the betas and did not even care enough to check what days it was on

inner tangle
#

I don't think I'll play it even if it goes f2p, game looks mad boring

gray bay
#

It probably is but I figure my standards have dropped a ton recently

#

I've been playing a lot of call of duty mwiii

crystal hill
#

Today is the day guys

#

Guys my dopamine of excitement is so high for today. I am going to see my favorite artist of all time.

inner tangle
#

gleaming pulsar
#

ah ok

inner tangle
#

use your phone for sure

gentle ferry
#

gleaming pulsar
#

I’m bringing my hoodie because the temperature may be cool by the time he goes on

gentle ferry
#

It will cause of ppl are warm but itll get a little cooler at night

inner tangle
#

yeah it'll be cooler by evening

#

you know how it's been at night lately lol

#

wondering if I should wear a pink hat, my 3d glasses (check my pfp), or my white Madeon beanie

gentle ferry
#

Backup bag, theyll have no problem with this right?

wet patrol
#

Nope that looks just fine

#

So cute!

inner tangle
#

they said something on the site about purse-type bags but it should be fine as long as it's easy to search

wet patrol
#

I’m heading to the outskirts of Baltimore, and then have a friend who is coming to drive us to the venue later

pine turret
gleaming pulsar
#

does security have to pat you down?

#

i might just bring a string bag

#

idk

deep crag
#

Nearly true

pine turret
#

i see no problem with this bag (cute btw)

#

this is what ill be using to carry stuff LOL

inner tangle
#

actually I should prolly be fine with this

#

also ty! it's based on Mio from Xenoblade Chronicles 3

gleaming pulsar
#

Would this be fine?

#

I forgot I had my potaro keychain there lol

inner tangle
#

uhhhhh maybe?

#

definitely take measurements and send them an email with pics of the measurements

gleaming pulsar
#

i measured, its the same size as yours

inner tangle
#

bc technically it is backpack style?

gleaming pulsar
#

IDK MAN

#

i guess ill take my smaller bag lol

marsh iris
#

why’s this venue gotta be so far lol

fierce coral

guys it said 1 hour and 30 min last night

inner tangle
#

even me, I'm going to a picnic in Columbia before going near the mall area to kill time LOL

gleaming pulsar
#

just found out theres no overnight parking for the mall of columbia i think

inner tangle
#

nope

gleaming pulsar
#

so if the concert goes on after 8pm, you could get it towed/ticketed

inner tangle
#

they explicitly patrol the parking lots late at night bc the shooting that happened at the mall a month and a half ago was at like 3 or 4 am

#

oh no you'll be fine to park it for a while, just as long as it's not TOOOOO too late

fierce coral
gray bay
inner tangle
gleaming pulsar
#

im gonna park at the mall, wait a bit, maybe get food

#

then go get parking

inner tangle
#

@gleaming pulsar still down to hang out around the mall prior to lining up if u want

marsh iris
#

Is your goal with mall parking just to avoid the traffic on way out?

gleaming pulsar
#

Parking lots will open 1 hour prior to gates, except not earlier than 5p on weekdays. Note that Lot 2 will never open prior to 6p on weekdays.

inner tangle
#

no it's to park so we can line up before 5

gleaming pulsar
#

from the site

marsh iris
#

Oh

gleaming pulsar
#

alrighty

inner tangle
#

yeah I'll have some friends with me but we can all walk over together :)

gleaming pulsar
inner tangle
#

yep

gray bay
#

Oh shit!

slim loom
#

was going to ask if anyone else got this

gleaming pulsar
#

😔

gray bay
gray bay
# gray bay Oh shit!

By the way they gave me two but I'm going alone so. Idk how they give this out but if it's just like a ticket I can give out. I could give one to someone

#

Really! Its almost like that's what I was implying

hearty fiber
#

Whoops misread that

#

I just woke up I’m not at 100% yet

gray bay
#

But yeah if that is how it works I'd be happy to give one to someone who needs it. But idk if that's how it works so we'll see once I'm in there

hearty fiber
#

You might need the other person to be with you, but you could also see if they’ll give you both passes at the same time

inner tangle
#

how do you even get that sort of thing

#

i would def give one to exxo, dude deserves it for all that he does for the community

slim loom

#1233112940991742025 message

inner tangle
#

oh shit

hearty fiber
#

Always sign up for loyalty programs if they’re free to join

inner tangle
#

wait free coat check is kinda broken holupppp

gray bay
#

I signed up for it right before I bought the tickets for this

#

And as you can see I'm glad I did

#

And it's nice too because the points can be used to get tickets and venue merch

#

Plus you get extra presale access for some events

#

I definitely recommend it to anyone who finds themselves going to a lot of shows around DC

#

Cuz half of them are imp

rain tulip
gray bay
#

My understanding is the MVP area has a really bad view anyway

#

Not a good place to be during the show

rain tulip
#

i'm thinkin like SS 2019 VIP bad

#

but like, all the way in the back of that

inner tangle
gray bay
#

I won't be there much myself but I will take advantage of their toilets for sure

inner tangle
#

that's 110 points already

rain tulip
#

wait you earn points for stuff

gray bay
#

And I might buy overpriced food at that bar

rain tulip
#

?

hearty fiber
gray bay
inner tangle
#

exxo you better sign up now

#

this shit kinda broken fr

#

this counts for both merriweather and anthem

#

and 9:30 club

rain tulip
#

i literally go to concerts like twice a month, wdym you can earn points from them

inner tangle
#

BITCH SIGN UP NOW THEN

gray bay
#

Now that I think about it I really need to scan my barcode at this show

#

Should have last time

#

I just didn't think to ask

inner tangle
#

yeah this is like mega points cash out

gray bay
#

Cuz I get 55 points for scanning at the gate and then I'm gonna buy 3 shirts and probably food

inner tangle
#

wait this counts for merch TOO???

rain tulip
#

oh most of them are echostage tho, that's not included in the program

twin hinge
rain tulip
#

this is mental

#

1 point for each dollar

slim loom
#

it adds up

#

literally free program

inner tangle
#

wtf is rooam

#

oh i see

#

yeah so like that's 300+ points in the next week

#

for sure

rain tulip
#

now here's the question

#

can the points be exchanged exactly like the cash can be exchanged for points

#

like does the value stay the same

inner tangle
#

their rewards are pretty nice tho

gray bay
rain tulip
#

idk, it says on the site that you can redeem points for more concert tickets

#

probably a discount or somethin, but that's still cool

gray bay
#

You can get tickets with points yes

inner tangle
#

no it's just straight up tickets

#

you can get straight up tickets for free

rain tulip
#

i've been going to shows since 2019...

gray bay
inner tangle
gray bay
#

These are all the ticket ones

rain tulip
#

how amazing this would've been if i knew about this

inner tangle
gray bay
#

You can see there are some limits on using them for shows which are sold out or close to being

#

But other than that

slim loom
#

seems like 10 points per ticket at their venues

fading summit
#

maybe its a stupid question but are we allowed to line up early for this show? i saw the email said something about the parking opening at 5:30 so im wondering if thats when they allow lining up.. (im concert newbie sorry)

rain tulip
#

yeah you can line up earlier than the parking lot

gray bay
#

They sell this tote bag on their online store but it's slightly too big for their bag policy which evidently requires 13x15 tops. Kinda funny

fading summit
rain tulip
#

guys, we sell bags that you CANNOT bring into our venues

gray bay
#

I'm gonna go ahead and guess they wouldn't stop you if you brought that bag in. But maybe they would surprise me

#

Maybe they would surprise me if you bought one in there 🥴

hearty fiber
real birch
#

they more than likely allow their own tote bags through..

#

but idk concert venues are silly sometimes

inner tangle
#

if it's an empty bag i think it's different

#

i don't think they're gonna be exact with it but don't bring like a trash bag with you lol

rain tulip
#

mirage doesn't do that tho, one of the shows they were selling a bag, but everyone that bought it had to leave the venue lmao

inner tangle
#

o

real birch
#

lol wtf

inner tangle
#

what the

#

honestly i've only been to one show there so i cant comment much

rain tulip
#

mirage has rules and they STICK with them

inner tangle
#

well mirage also has a stick up their ass and charge me $10 for the right to buy things there, so

rain tulip
#

i remember someone from Madeon News had the opportunity to be guestlisted for the GFF show there but the staff were like "nah, he's not 21"

inner tangle
#

see that's different

rain tulip
#

but it's guestlist tho

inner tangle
#

idk man

rain tulip
#

like they aren't even interacting with the floor, it was backstage access

#

i understand enforcing age limits, but when the person in question isn't even gonna touch the ONLY area where alcohol is allowed to be served...

#

idk

slim loom
#

it's like the performer being age restricted

hearty fiber
inner tangle
#

super weird

#

For the record I also hadn't heard of it until like a day before the Porter ticket sale

#

I just happened to find it on the venue website

#

They are not trying very hard to get people to use it

#

So definitely take advantage of it now before they remember they run it and shut it down for cost cutting

crystal hill
#

Does anyone know what time the concert ends?

inner tangle
#

probably 10-10:30

weary kestrel

I LEFT MY EARPLUGS AT HOMD

#

😭

gray bay
weary kestrel
#

How much...

gray bay
#

If it's like the anthem (same owners) they should be one dollar

inner tangle
#

probably not much

#

yeah

weary kestrel
#

Hope not

gray bay
#

They're just basic foam earplugs

#

But sure beats deafness

weary kestrel
#

True

inner tangle
#

anthem also sells these for $15 but idk if merriweather has anything like that

gray bay
#

My earplugs are foam because I bought a set of fancy ones that came with foam but the good tips would not go in my ear

#

The tips looked like that but they had like 3 cups instead of 2 on each

inner tangle
#

wait i just looked at the anthem and weezer's playing a sold out show there tonight wth lol

gray bay
#

And they were so horrible

inner tangle
#

oh yeesh

ivory owl
#

anyone at the line yet

gray bay
#

Like no matter what I did they couldn't fit in my ear and it felt like they were poking my eardrums or something and they sure as shit weren't blocking any sound

#

So I never used those tips. Maybe if they had two cups they'd have worked good

gray bay
tropic notch
#

traffic is horrible

i had wingstop and my stomach is happy we're so back

Depending on when I can get in the hotel room definitely gonna try to eat smthn at the mall cuz they got a few chains that I don't have at home

Anyone know of a good food spot near the venue?

inner tangle

deep crag

Preferably cheap

uhhhhh try the columbia mall food court

lol

#

or halal guys just outside of the mall

normal mauve

we are so back

inner tangle
#

you could also try bandito's which is VERY close to the venue but if you want a lot of food then maybe don't go there with a cheaper budget

gray bay
#

Jesus Christ they got a McDonald's and a Popeyes in that shit

#

And a five guys

inner tangle

gray bay

A man could go bankrupt in there

normal mauve

i don't have anything to trade tho :(

deep crag

Oh fuck yeah Popeyes perfect for a porter show

inner tangle
#

mcdonald's, popeyes, five guys, pizza hut, chipotle, panda express(?), charley's cheesesteaks, bourbon street chicken or whatever it's called, etc

normal mauve

#

I'll probably do the Popeyes for culture or maybe the Pollo Campero they don't have that at home

#

I would like chicken

ivory owl

i'd be. so happy gjfjfj

wait so drawstrings are allowed, right?

gray bay
#

Yes

#

Or at least I asked last night and they told me yes

#

As long as they meet the size requirement 13x15 max

#

As long as it doesn't have like a million pockets

twin hinge
#

Hold on. How do I use these points?And how do I get them lmao

#

I had to run some errands, and i'm just not reading all the texts

#

Are these points through the ticketmaster app lmao

gray bay
#

Sign up on the venue website and they'll give you a barcode and number that you scan on the venue

#

It's a separate website for it

#

To get the points for tickets you have to have both accounts on the same email, before you buy the ticket

#

But for everything else you just scan the code there

#

You can put it in your Apple/Google Wallet as well for easy access

gray bay
#

Yes

twin hinge
#

*is

#

Oh ok

#

Is it their loyalty program?

gray bay
#

Yes. The program also works at 9:30 club and the anthem and Lincoln theatre and the Atlantis. Because it's the same company

#

It's the company's program

twin hinge
#

Oh ok. Since I am not over 18, I can't sign up. Shit
