Riot Fest 2019: Bad Libs with the Press & Artist Area Bartenders

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. We know that all the bartenders slave away all weekend long, but we think that the Press and Artist Area bartenders work the hardest. Hell, they have to deal with our drunken antics three days in a row.

We knew we had to get the amazing bar staff to play along this year. Check out their BAD LIB below!

You can also watch Chel read their version of “Mutual of Bad Copy’s Riot Kingdom” into our technologically savvy and totally adult recorder here:
