Some more info about this year's event:

• We are hosted by two venues across Thursday-Sunday: IBW and Kitchen 17. Way easier than splitting it across three venues.
• It's all-ages, all weekend! We've made arrangements with IBW to accommodate that, and Kitchen 17/Fallen Log is all-ages already.
• Weekend Passes now include Thursday. In the past, we've had to separate Thursday from the Friday-Sunday tickets.
• Curious about the bands? Check out the Bandcamp Sampler here!

Cross posting from the sky. A young (23) human I've known since the day they were borned, is flying to Chicago to hang with L and I and attend the BBQ this summer.Let's gatekeep the hell outta this snot nose!

Someone theoretically born at the first PRFBBQ (I wasn't there so can't confirm whether this happened or not) would be able to legally drive this year wtf.

I'm sure there were some children conceived during BBQ weekends.

Speaking of the youth... my children (16 and 14) are coming to Chicago with me this weekend. Does anyone know whether IBW will allow them to attend those shows?

I'm working on that with IBW. it's very likely those shows (Thurs/Fri) will be all-ages, with some caveats like "no kids sitting/standing at the bar itself." Hang tight for sure, though. We'll make an announcement about it.

Dates written down.

Supposed to be in Korea during the week of July 14th, which means I might have to leave on Saturday or Sunday. My attendance may be limited to one or both of the days at IBW. Frick.

Ugh, family vacation runs counter to the the BBQ this year so unfortunately I have to miss out this year again.

I hope it’s killer and to see some of youse for the ‘Worm in September.

We'll take as much of you as we can get. Happy trails to Korea!
