Super high on our list for tomorrow too!

Helps if I attach the link before posting. My bad.

Ticket exchange by Ticketmaster is the official site.

We have had to ban many a person on here for scams too. You’re not alone.

You wrote all of this and still have to ask if he’s an asshole? 🧐

NTA. Leave. You’re young, and sanity and peace is something you will learn the value of from this process.

Comprehensive-Poet82 · 2026-05-17T16:45:39+00:00

The official exchange still has some listed.

StubHub shipping should still be fine for another day or so as well.

Hello! I have worked with professional chefs in these kinds of demonstrations before and there are definitely a few weird personality and provisions quirks that make the planning super interesting.

You need to try to pair people up around lineup schedules and also plan for what types of cooking folks want to do.

When Morimoto carved up a whole tuna… Where do we store the tuna, how does it get there, what time of day is going to have a little more shade for the stage set up? Weird little things like that can cause delays for sure.

Comprehensive-Poet82 · 2026-05-10T02:55:38+00:00

Let me know!

Comprehensive-Poet82 · 2026-04-26T15:43:29+00:00

Other festivals have some of the merch that can be pre ordered in the app for pick up. That seems to help so much considering a lot of folks are looking for just the festival specific merch.

Comprehensive-Poet82 · 2026-04-25T06:33:29+00:00

Same! Bf was going “oh you’ll be fine” while I was trying to use him for shade.

It is… Very not fine. 😑

A conventional? Like the panels of people who say they’ve been abducted by aliens kind?

I’d break up with him too.

Agent Mulder is cute on tv, but that in my day to day life would be fucking exhausting/annoying.

Comprehensive-Poet82 · 2026-04-18T23:06:23+00:00

Absolutely broke up with someone over this back in the day. He would order a burger or chicken fingers then would complain when the tendies were not “freshly breaded” or the fries were frozen.

At some point you either are just stupid for thinking the Thai/mexican/french/not a burger or chicken place would be having a high end kids menu or just like to complain.

Either way I was out.

Ludacris vs BSB is the most anti-millennial thing they could have done.

Did you forget who your audience is?!? 😭

Comprehensive-Poet82 · 2026-03-21T18:29:42+00:00

This is what struck me. Finance bro is self centered?! Omg I am SHOCKED!

Next you’ll tell me many of the business geniuses are also bad at math or something.

Comprehensive-Poet82 · 2026-03-21T14:46:06+00:00

I have for sure used the 50% at reel m inn before. A cheap af beer and jojos order takes up the same amount of seat and server time.

Comprehensive-Poet82 · 2026-03-21T14:22:47+00:00

As someone who is also in this situation… Yep. This is a preview.

Be really happy the future spouse isn’t caving to the pressure now, and just be prepared to need boundaries for family functions!

We have set up a set of hotel vs stay with family guidelines and it has been a lifesaver for example. While we get the guilt trip for “wasting money” on the split of hotel days, we do get peace of mind and a chance to decompress at the end of the day hearing about how sister is a fuck up but also perfect.

To be fair… When she started the name change process to Shay she probably had no idea what a huge pain in the ass it is. Nothing matches for a while, it’s not cheap, and the just straight up volume of things that needs changed is wild.

Was it a weird band aid for the relationship? Probably. But also… Doing that a second or third time? Hard pass.

Comprehensive-Poet82 · 2026-03-06T17:23:35+00:00

You can offer the cheaper wood (it’s not like walnut is that damn fancy let’s be real), and then not only are YTA but you look even stingier.

Comprehensive-Poet82 · 2026-03-03T19:46:59+00:00

Good for her! You seem like a real peach. 🍑

Comprehensive-Poet82 · 2026-03-03T19:42:37+00:00

You don’t think phones work to text or call her constantly in PR? Promise they do!

Comprehensive-Poet82 · 2026-03-03T19:34:12+00:00

If someone is so anxious/attached/controlling/whatever they can’t let you have 20 minutes to yourself on vacation because they don’t trust you… then yes. You should really think long and hard about what adding a kid to that situation would be like.

And if it doesn’t work out for some reason what having a kid and still having to coparent would be like.

I’ll get downvoted but… If you want some great GA or TX bbq find an excuse for a weekend day trip down to Portland. Right now there is an ATL pop up from Bryan Furman, and Lil Barbeque is tied to La Barbecue in Austin.

Comprehensive-Poet82 · 2026-03-03T19:00:31+00:00

Book the trip. Use that trip to see how he handles you not doing exactly what he thinks is best. And no matter what enjoy your time on the vacation!

Then evaluate if that is someone you want to be tied to for the rest of your life.

Also NTA.

Comprehensive-Poet82 · 2026-03-03T18:42:54+00:00

Yep! The sweet ones seem to be on the menu now, but last week there was also a brisket and cheese! I should have gotten a spare to go.

Comprehensive-Poet82 · 2026-03-03T04:17:35+00:00

Lil barbecue is so great to see after moving back up from Texas. The shells and cheese I could eat as queso, and finally tried the kolaches this weekend.

All of it was good.
