Riot Fest 2019: Bad Libs with David, King of the Riot Fest Press Tent

Bad Copy’s infamous BAD LIBS are back for another year of Riot Fest! Our Bad Copy team spent the music-packed weekend running rampant all over Douglas Park in Chicago watching bands and then sprinting back to the Press Area for beers, hard seltzers, and round after round of one of our favorite childhood games. We felt like last year, while fun and hilarious, was missing something. While we got to see all these amazing bands and artists read their BAD LIBS, you didn’t get the same chance. That’s why we’ve included videos this year!

While the performers at Riot Fest work their asses off every year, everyone who works behind-the-scenes at the festival is working even harder to make sure that the attendees are having a great time. David is the King of the Press Tent. While you’re out wandering around Douglas Park having a great time, he and the press and artist staff are working to make sure that everything goes according to plan and that all problems are solved before they even arise.

We snagged David at the very end of the last day of the festival. Check out his BAD LIB below!

You can also watch David read his version of “A Guided Tour of Chicago” into our technologically savvy and totally adult recorder while also correcting Kevin’s spelling here:
