Before we boarded the plane for Chicago, Mitch gave me two gifts that were crucial to the trip, my first ever business card holder and a waterproof Field Notes book to keep my thoughts organized. Throughout the weekend I found myself writing down quotes from various bands that I had originally planned on including in my review of Riot Fest Chicago. On Sunday night while I was waiting to watch The Prodigy in a drunken haze it hit me, I had so many great quotes that they deserved an article of their own. After careful examination, I have ranked the Top 10 Quotes from Riot Fest Chicago 2015.
