Dont buy everything u goons i stg

I saw that the sign varies at locations but yeeee
this bad boi is essential to the revised concert fit
Leave one and ill spare u i pwomise
MEEE!!
SAMEEEEEEE
got the ok from the venue that glow sticks are allowed
we are fucking BALLING
bringing my sonic symphony glow stick tho cuz it's the only one I own 😭
We’re so back (we never left)
Hey Ayla I have something to ask you in dms
Ok 2 pink glowsticks 💕😳

Good stuff
love the way they spelled itinerary in the subject of the email lol
Omg the spell check fumbled that shit crazy lol
I have many glowsticks for everyone
wait does this mean 5:30 we check in vip, 5:45 they let VIP in to the venue and merch?
k
bring em!!!
Got it
:D
wait when you say glow sticks do you mean- gotcha
they just said "yes" so i think those are allowed, but the ones i meant are pen lights
?
Oh meepston would you like a custom porter shirt? I make custom shirts and it only costs me a couple dollars
i dont think merriweather really cares either way so if it glows and it's a stick then it's cool
You can have it free
oh! uhhhh sure i guess?
M, i'm 5'5 and built like a twink 
Oh wait probably a small then
nah M is usually what i wear anyways
Oh oki
i really appreciate it tho!
pink!
oh shit I only have pink in small. Is that still okay? I'm sorry
nvm I can just order a medium. I just realized that lmao
o
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.
Good I’m bringing mine!
I can still do custom logos and an optional back design
Gonna light it up like I did in NYC
THERE YA GO
I'll bring mine!
Yes!!!
do what you gotta, but at the end of the day it's up to you if you even wanna do the shirt lol
Got it. I can and want to make it, but it'll just be black small. I do hope I'm not annoying you.
I wanted to bring a flip camera so bad but I procrastinated too long on trying to buy one rip
Oh @inner tangle so at 7 we're going to meet up at section 303 Row AA seat 8
My 3ds retired
NOOOOOO
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
i'm GA so i can meet you any time, but i'll likely go straight to merch
OH WAIT I HAVE PINK SMALL
HOL UP
WAIT
Which porter logo would you like?
?
oh the smile logo?
which ones are you working with?
Would you like the smile face on the back? I can do that
All of them
You got it!

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
you might want to email them and ask
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
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.
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
something like that is probably more than acceptable i’d think
(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
at worst, you’ll just have to let security hold onto it until you leave so 🤷🏽
send pics to them in an email
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

probably
unless you find one that isn't under those rules
which they do have others out there
i did
they said its still not allowed
gg
like the mall parking lot?
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
they said clear is fine
that and others yeah
cool…
2 days.
That's gonna be me tomorrow night listening to the 2021 potaro set
same except with all of porter’s discography so i’m refreshed & ready to go
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
all good either way dude 👍
got it
I'll call during their office hours tomorrow and see if I can bring them, because I'm not selling them.
‼️‼️ holy shit my hero
DW BROTHA
THATS GONNA BE ALL OF US
I was right in front of someone on the floor who also brought theirs
Hey I'm sorry if I'm annoying with this, but how early are you gonna be there?
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
K. We'll be there around 6. Could you just hang around until then to get your shirt?
We'll be there asap
in the parking lot or the line?
Parking lot
Or the stands and vendors outside of the pavillion, but still on the campus.
Actually, just the parking lot. Zone A, Lot 5
yeah probably
👍
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
?
so my intention was to park and then line up
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.
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
Oh okay. We can meet at the merch stand if that's fine.
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

Having seats is so great, I don't mind getting there at doors
this is true but like the mall is sooooooo FAR from the venue 😭
this was my secondary option but man i really do not wanna have to walk all that way
Oh @inner tangle Sounds like we'll be there at 5:30
didnt think of this
gotchu
i havent been able to listen to ANYTHING but porter the past few days
im way too excited
Fuck. The back of your shirt looks like this, because the vinyl is horrible.
still looks kinda sick tho
honestly man, it's the sentiment that counts
imma wear that shirt PROUD 😤
especially since my Shelter JP shirt is a size small and i might want something else to wear under my cheerleader jersey
holy shit
also i dont think doors open until 6:30, which basically means entry to this entire map
imma just park in my lil gay zone A as porter intended and vip my way through the doors 
zone gAy 
all that really matters is being awake for the concert
get some sleep eventually tho

Oh. I thought it was just entry to the pavillion itself
Lit
I wish this was how the tracklist was revealed
• No outside beverages, except one empty or factory-sealed water bottle allowed per customer (refer to show for exceptions).
Hope this helps
ooh yea lol
Gonna let y'all vote on my fit
Unfortunately pants are locked
I can provide pictures if needed
Except for the last one
I'm gonna be wearing Madeon GFF shirt
Good choice! The good faith hoodie fucks
MY MERCH SHIPPED RAHHHHH
So backup is my mom goes with me which should be interesting
I remember playing Nurture once when it came it out and her reaction was "not my cup of tea"
Lit
Just finished memorizing the entire dialogue to year of the cup
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!"
i recommend watching the whole interview, as well. it’s very good i think
yeah


IS IT REALLY NONE OF MY GODDAMN BUSINESS??
praying tonight 🙏
I got the VIP email a second time I can't tell if something changed or if they just sent it twice for fun
guys should i make a kitsune maison fox perler bead necklace to wear tmrw
@gleaming pulsar ok yeah I'm gonna park at mall, fuck it
MY G
Your shirt is done :3
you mean before doors open? gonna be hard to set up considering people won't wanna give up their line spots
If any of you are in dc/coming thru dc id be down!! Itd have to be like early afternoon tho
hey man, you didn't give us any pics of the fits 🤷♂️
I said I could provide pictures
The onus is on you to ask for your due diligence
But if you must know
i mean the porter shirt probably makes the most sense here to wear
wait
wearing a concord shirt might be kinda funny actually
having a concord shirt is craaaazy
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
yeah i still see the merch on playstation's merch store for full price lmao
I almost got the beanie because I think it genuinely looks nice
But hats and I aren't on speaking terms rn
no pics of the shirts

lol
https://rally.co/porter-robinson-columbia awww this wouldve been legendary
not enough riders booked 
If I find another Porter Robinson vinyl from urban outfitters I might give it to a random person in here
For the IRL meet up, I guess
😳
Just letting gang know
here you know what
i'll do another poll with specific times when we get a result
poll ends around 12:20 AM tonight
now this^ is democratic decision making
i’m going to be with friends so i hope i have time to break away n see yall 
yes 
DAMN
power move
yes
woah
?
ur name lol
yea lmao
😭🙏 I’ll see if I have cash to spare for the vinyl
Well I can make you a custom porter t-shirt (size small only) to exchange
I've already done it for like 3 other ppl
💀 I’m 6’4 brother, I don’t think I could fit it lol
I'm already going out to run some errands. I could pick you up a medium.
oh shit tall king
dude you are absolutely about to tower over me
my ass is 5'6 LOL
I'm in the sweet spot. I'm 6'2
NOT even a medium lol
An xl for me
Got it lmao
I can make two xl shirts with custom designs to trade for a vinyl
One black one pink
Is that okay?
Is he gonna have an opener or is it the concert starting exactly at 8pm
Whatcha gonna put on it lol
Any porter logo you want
Except the smile face
I can make it in pink,black, white, and holographic
I can do shadows on the design in those same colors
I can put the track list or another logo on the back
I can put the logo anywhere on the shirt
It's completely custom
Up to you
I can also surprise you if you'd like.
Mmm
Which logos could I chose from
Here, just message me personally
I’m gonna cope 2 vinyls, so there will be one left for anyone that wants it
See you all tomorrow 🏃🏻♀️
Heading down at 10am tomorrow so I’ll be in the area with friends around 1. Gonna go eat first thing
Ericdoa is his opener
Yeah and he's on at 8
Porter should be on at 9
if any of y'all have nothing to do before lining up tomorrow, def check out the waterfront area near the nearby Whole Foods
8:45, 15 min change over
cool area to walk around and not far at all from the venue
And at 3am the surprise second set starts
The second set is security escorting you out for trespassing
I’m very much ready
I don't think the reality is setting in yet for me
This time tomorrow though. It's gonna be 18 shirts in my bag
@wet patrol did you go to pixel empire tour in dc years ago
Yes I did!
i think we met very briefly 
We most likely did 
Wait so Eric is opening at 8 and porter is performing at 8:45?
youtook a photo of me n my friend in our worlds galaxxxy hoodies 😎
9
15 minute change over
YES! I remember!!
y’all have no idea how excited i am (first concert that im going to that isn’t k-pop)
im actually SO pumped for tomorrow it’s wild
Same man!!! I'm fuckin pumped!!!!
what kpop groups have you seen?

i was debating on going to the nct dream concert on the 24th but decided on not going kek
I hope he plays league onstage
#1233112940991742025 message bumping this poll again, pls vote if you're interested in meeting up w/ discord peeps :)
#1233112940991742025 message
If Porter actually goes to say hi to his fans I’m dead
😭
I’d pass out from meeting him
ik what i'm wearing 
We chillin now
I saw $35 GA tickets on StubHub and I'm tempted.
I already had lawn tickets but ...
What time are doors? 7?
630
Okay bet
Parking opens an hour early
A reminder to all you need to reserve parking through ticketmaster. It's free but you gotta get the pass through them
anyone know if you can chill on the lawn if you have GA tickets?
idk, as much as I wanna be in GA, i kinda am glad i got lawn seats
fortunately was able to get a really good upgrade for my tix
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
ALL THREE CLAIMED. Have a great time!
todayyy
When do you guys wanna do our big IRL discord meetup?

true
TODAYYYYYYYY
TODAY'S THE BIG DAY

ALRIGHT GAMERS - looks like we're doing our big discord irl meetup before ericdoa starts playing at like 8-ish, trying to target meeting up HERE, probably around the water symbol (water fountain?) or margarita bar
i was thinking that we meet up around 7:20-40
Hey is anyone recording the show ||or at the very least the intro to RR||?
i lowkey expect exxo but i also dont wanna assume he will
Man I don’t want to summon him
i want to record the show, or at least parts of it... but if I learned anything from my first porter concert, it's that I'll be way too in the moment to want to do that...
HIII i barely talk here but im going to the show tmr (or today) and im so hyped EEEHRHEHHRH
was just lurking in these porter channels teehee
you can def do both but you'll have less genuine fun if you're looking to record stuff to look at later on than if you're in the moment, but if you wanna relive YOUR pov specifically then you can def pick and choose
new poll, gonna leave this up for the whole day but y'all should vote asap so we can figure out when to meet up
having trouble sleeping im so excited can't wait y'all
forgot to mention my plane didn't crash and i am alive 
Just finished getting ready, will start my commute to the bus in a bit. Can't wait 
TODAY IS THE DAYYYYYYYYYY
Safe travels everyone!!
I hope she plays anti hero
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
I know the merch stands arent
Oh didn't see that lmao
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).
Sorry I meant like food and drink to have in your car
So you're not hungry during the performance
You reminded me I forgot my earplugs 😭
eyyy at least you didn't forget
bring hand sanitizer 
Also deodorant
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
They take everything
good good good
yeah that makes sense i just get paranoid hahahah
I get the same way. Luckily everything usually works out there
yuuuup
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
Oh but if you let someone else do it for you then you explode
It is what it is fr

But nah fr it's all gonna work out great though I know I'm gonna be a little stressed til halfway through ericdoa
i'm only really stressed about actually being able to get merch
otherwise im not too stressed
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
got ga
and vip
Well VIP you don't gotta stress about shit. It's the people that get in after us that need to worry
yeah...
Poor folks gonna try to buy shit and then see me in the crowd wearing 80 shirts I bought
The noncompliant will be sprayed
too real
Unless they are overstocking the West gate stand because they priced in the VIP effect. That would be fun
what will I be wearing
6
16
5
Music Saved my Life shirt
Yeah well fuck y'all I'm wearing the concord shirt now
Or am I? Who's to say
look, i voted for the concord shirt, let it be known
Putting in 9-5 at the gates lmaoo
im thinkin ill try to get there around like 5:00 tbh
Our hotel don't got checkins til 4 evidently
VIP line gonna be 8 people anyway it's fine
show of hands, who got early entry here
me
I could really use that 200 dollars rn but yes me also
our hotel has an early check-in option
maybe see if yours has one and you can still apply
god i forgot MPP is closer to Baltimore than DC
me ☝️
me
im leaving at 3:30 to not get stuck in traffic
then imma stay at the mall for a bit
Concert hack: Save big bucks on the Uber back by politely asking the lead singer to take you to your hotel in the tour bus
if he declines, he hates his fans
Verified true
Hey, so my best friend ash is coming with me to this concert. Could they come with me to the meet up at 7?
i dont see why not :p
Great! Before I pack up and head off, Does anybody else want a small black or pink custom porter t shirt?
I have two custom black slots that I can fill and one custom pink
Does anyone have a pic of merch booth from another show so I can get a vibe for pricing
YUH
did ANYONE else arrive lmao
thank god
im still at my house lol
😔 im gonna wear my ego shirt i think
i was gonna consider bring the potaro onesie but NAH
Y'all I've been at the venue for the past week. It's been so hard dodging the guards
i've actually been on the tour bus the whole time, i'm hiding in the storage area
WHY?
too hot???
I'm telling Porter
dude that would be so sick if u wore that
NOOOOOOO
If he kicks you off that means he hates his fans tho
true true

i'll be like a bag boy or somethin
potaro racism
it is a fire fit tbh
i wish i could bring my plush too
holy shit we found the one concord fan out there
nah concord's trash, i'd definitely buy the shirt tho cuz it's funny
but like for how much tho
https://gear.playstation.com/1548184-concord-logo-tee idk like this much
Welcome to PlayStation Gear
why is the hoodie trending on their site..........
hold that thought
oh man they really do not want me to find battleborn merch on amazon
I think I'm cooked from them pulling it because now I kinda really wanna try it. God willing they'll reissue it free to play then I'll go out of my way to try it
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
I don't think I'll play it even if it goes f2p, game looks mad boring
It probably is but I figure my standards have dropped a ton recently
I've been playing a lot of call of duty mwiii
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.
I literally wrote my college essay about his music.
On the way to Baltimore 🏃🏻♀️
oh god I'm so sorry for you
also gang ngl I might've gamed too hard last night cuz I'm running on roughly 5 hours of sleep rn 🫠
i didn’t sleep until 5 am i feel u
cheers to that LOL
godspeed
hey guys
is it good to print out the ticketmaster tickets?
or can i use my phone
instructions say specifically do not print out the tickets
ah ok
use your phone for sure
Red bull gives u wings~
also they denied my bag :((
sorry, so was a string bag allowed? to bring to the concert?
now readying The Fit™
probably not but you could send an email of your bag and see what they say
I CANT DECIDE BETWEEN THE JERSEY OR MY EGO LONGSLEEVE MANNN

Ya i emailed them around 8 and they responded in an hour or so
are tote bags okay?
yeah
you gotta go the jersey imo, pops more and fits more for this specific show
^
or you can wear both and keep ego underneath
isnt it gonna be hot?
I’m bringing my hoodie because the temperature may be cool by the time he goes on
It will cause of ppl are warm but itll get a little cooler at night
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
Backup bag, theyll have no problem with this right?
they said something on the site about purse-type bags but it should be fine as long as it's easy to search
I’m heading to the outskirts of Baltimore, and then have a friend who is coming to drive us to the venue later
as long as it’s not a backpack-style purse!
Nearly true
i see no problem with this bag (cute btw)
this is what ill be using to carry stuff LOL
actually I should prolly be fine with this
also ty! it's based on Mio from Xenoblade Chronicles 3
uhhhhh maybe?
definitely take measurements and send them an email with pics of the measurements
i measured, its the same size as yours
bc technically it is backpack style?
why’s this venue gotta be so far lol
DORAEMON

GOD DAMN
MY GOAT
it's 2.5 now bc ppl are doing stuff today
even me, I'm going to a picnic in Columbia before going near the mall area to kill time LOL
just found out theres no overnight parking for the mall of columbia i think
nope
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
They don't allow "backpacks or backpack-style purses". I asked them and that means basically they don't want anything with lots of pockets and openings because they're really hard to bag search
shit ig we're doing this meetup at 7 or something then
@gleaming pulsar still down to hang out around the mall prior to lining up if u want
Is your goal with mall parking just to avoid the traffic on way out?
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.
no it's to park so we can line up before 5
from the site
😔
Oh
alrighty
yeah I'll have some friends with me but we can all walk over together :)
SO im guessing 5:30 is when they open up parking
yep
Oh shit!
was going to ask if anyone else got this
😔
Merriweather Post Pavilion events, tickets and more!
Merriweather Post Pavilion events, tickets and more!
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
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
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
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
#1233112940991742025 message
oh shit
Always sign up for loyalty programs if they’re free to join
wait free coat check is kinda broken holupppp
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
i appreciate the gesture but i don't think i'd really use it, being up on the rail and all
My understanding is the MVP area has a really bad view anyway
Not a good place to be during the show
yeah i'm realizing now like i'm going to porter tonight and zedd next week
I won't be there much myself but I will take advantage of their toilets for sure
that's 110 points already
wait you earn points for stuff
And I might buy overpriced food at that bar
?
Yes you get points from tickets you buy for events at IMP venues
Yeah you get points for buying tickets and you can scan the barcode at the venue when going in and when buying food and merch
exxo you better sign up now
this shit kinda broken fr
this counts for both merriweather and anthem
and 9:30 club
i literally go to concerts like twice a month, wdym you can earn points from them
BITCH SIGN UP NOW THEN
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
yeah this is like mega points cash out
Cuz I get 55 points for scanning at the gate and then I'm gonna buy 3 shirts and probably food
wait this counts for merch TOO???
oh most of them are echostage tho, that's not included in the program
Oh, and I have your two shirts ready
wtf is rooam
oh i see
yeah so like that's 300+ points in the next week
for sure
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
How much?
it looks like points can only be redeemed for rewards, not exchanged for stuff
their rewards are pretty nice tho
For merch and food you get one point for every dollar spent
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
You can get tickets with points yes
i've been going to shows since 2019...
bro...................
These are all the ticket ones
how amazing this would've been if i knew about this

You can see there are some limits on using them for shows which are sold out or close to being
But other than that
seems like 10 points per ticket at their venues
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)
yeah you can line up earlier than the parking lot
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
oke thank you!
guys, we sell bags that you CANNOT bring into our venues
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 🥴
Brooklyn Mirage moment
they more than likely allow their own tote bags through..
but idk concert venues are silly sometimes
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
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
o
lol wtf
mirage has rules and they STICK with them
well mirage also has a stick up their ass and charge me $10 for the right to buy things there, so
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"
see that's different
but it's guestlist tho
idk man
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
it's like the performer being age restricted
Which is weird because I have never experienced that
it was to activate their contactless payment shit
super weird
Which again, I have never experienced that the few times I’ve been there (including for Gesa last weekend)

I’ve been going to 9:20 club shows since 2013 and my ass didn’t know about this 😭
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
Does anyone know what time the concert ends?
probably 10-10:30
Okay good to know
The opps dont stand a chance
Jane Remover shirt, Wicca Phase Springs Eternal Shirt (it has a Gundam on it), or Oceans Ate Alaska shirt
gundams are cool
i'm gonna be there in 30
Unfortunately I am now in Maryland
real as hell i hate it here
By the way the venue sells earplugs at the merch stand
How much...
If it's like the anthem (same owners) they should be one dollar
Hope not
True
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
wait i just looked at the anthem and weezer's playing a sold out show there tonight wth lol
And they were so horrible
oh yeesh
anyone at the line yet
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
Jane remover the move if you ask me
They're doing blue album front to back for this tour. I almost wish I were seeing that instead fr
i had wingstop and my stomach is happy we're so back
also if anyone wants a smile bracelet lmk because idk how i'm gonna give them out to random people i'm too awkward
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?
whats ur budget range
Preferably cheap
im snot a weezer fan but that's such a sick idea
so like max $15? or $12-ish? $10?
Ye
uhhhhh try the columbia mall food court
lol
or halal guys just outside of the mall
we are so back
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
yep
A man could go bankrupt in there
if anyone else is bringing kandi I'm so down to trade
Oh fuck yeah Popeyes perfect for a porter show
mcdonald's, popeyes, five guys, pizza hut, chipotle, panda express(?), charley's cheesesteaks, bourbon street chicken or whatever it's called, etc
if i run into you i can give you one :D
I'll probably do the Popeyes for culture or maybe the Pollo Campero they don't have that at home
I would like chicken
i'm a cheerleader so you'll prolly see me :p
i'd be. so happy gjfjfj
👁️
i should get into making kandi, they seem cool
i dont think i have anything to trade u tho (unless you want a pair of paper 3d glasses)
DAYUM
excite… the bracelets look supa cute !
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
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
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
Us merriweather the venue?
Yes
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
Oh ok. Since I am not over 18, I can't sign up. Shit
we're almost the shows-meetups thread with the most messages now
We can beat the record tonight because we're the best part of the country no cap
we can go higher
Now if he does a show in Brazil it's over
high cap
i'm 3 minutes away from the venue
md kinda sux dude
i feel like i'm a little early
A lil cap
A tiny hat for maybe a mouse
Google is cooked I looked up pictures of mice wearing little hats and all the results are AI. RIP stock photo business
a miniscule head covering for a rat
Yeah precisely
I'll be there at 5:30 With a friend! See all of you amazing people there!
im probably getting there around 4:30 so I could find you in line to give bracelet :D
What's the way in like if you're walking into the venue or doing ride share? There isn't any BS getting in is there
Nah
I got parking passes loaded just in case but I don't need those right? Not if I'm like walking in from the mall
Oh yeah i have a nice suprise for yall
hopefully i can be in line around 4-4:30 depending on how fast i eat eeee

It opens fine in a browser

And yet @gray bay will be in before all of them because of his VIP ticket lol
these mfs....
A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH
porter be screaming rn
alright heading out now
Bruh I’m getting tour spoilers bro stop playing ||FSS||
The west box office
For vip
nvm found it
did you guys just park at the mall or is there somewhere else better for early parking

technically there's the parking at merriweather district, but I hear from my local buds that THAT lot is filling up extremely quickly
Yep and I'm still in the hotel n shit
Had some hotel lobby coffee
Say hi to my dog everyone
just park at merriweather district or the mall if you wanna settle down sooner
this is the fit feel free to approach me to trade kandi or just to chat ! 
yopppeee
Even Porter knows that the venue is nowhere close to DC:
the venue is straight up Maryland lmao LN lied to his ass
We got 13 in line rn
Getting some food. All the food is in this Casino 😂
briefly stopping by the Columbia party city to get some glow sticks
... casino? where are you???
0 shade in the line gonna boil me :c
2 and a half hourssss
this is chill asf waiting
40 mins till i get there i can't wait 
Trying to pass the time in line
last minute nail painting oh boy
Nah they’re all early
They have a separate line
I did see the GA line while looking for a bathroom that was outside the venue (there wasn’t one)
There was like 3 people there
so there's like a dozen ppl already there for early entry
damn
smile autumn
Don't love how long it took to confirm an Uber ride to the mall
AHHH i will be another hour
Rafa posted an Instagram story of the soundcheck don't click that if you don't want to see anything but definitely feeling good about the view. Im not worried about jockeying for position in the pit at all
Wallahi i will meet u beautiful ppl
i’m an hour and 14 min away 
inshallah
if merriweather is anything like td pavilion it should be a pretty spacious pit
Definitely much wider than it is long
merriweather pit is big-ish
does that mean im not cooked if I try to get merch before pit early entry
The friend I'm arriving with is joining the server now. PROTECT THEM AT ALL COSTS
lmao
Their name is LittleKiller
Probably not. Especially because everyone else will be getting merch too
Like literally everyone else
lol
yeaaaa
Like you are literally wasting your money if you don't because one of the only vip perks was that you could get merch
yeah ik
