Once Riot Fest Has You How Does It Treat You

S. Nicole Lane Even as a 29-year-old woman, I find Riot Fest to be the most comfortable. I’m comparing it to the other big fests like Lolla and Pitchfork.

Leor Galil I hadn’t spent much time with the carnival aspect of the fest until last year, when my friend brought me and her four-year-old daughter on a couple rides. And I gotta say, watching Digable Planets from a Ferris wheel is a memory I’ll hold on to for a long time.

Leor I’ve seen a line of men urinating on bushes in Grant Park during Lollapalooza—nothing will compare to it.

For related reasons, I can’t remember the food I ate that year.
