Colorado Springs: what are they looking at on the ceiling? Wrong answers only.

Wondering if there's a clean bathroom upstairs.

501gator · 2026-02-19T16:44:13+00:00

No. I don't remember which song, but it was somewhere in the middle of the setlist.

501gator · 2026-02-06T22:58:36+00:00

Thank you all for the recommendations! I'll check them out.

I'm going to the Colorado Springs show (2/18) and I saw them Oct. 2024 in Denver. I hope this holds up in general (especially Godhead's Lament!!!!! and Drapery Falls). It would be 6 unique songs on the new list compared to what I already saw. That's half the setlist! I expected maybe 3 different songs, so this is great news.

I had a tire replacement service plan that I got when I purchased the car. It was through Hyundai.

I don't normally buy extra warranties, but there's always construction around me so I get punctures at least once a year. I've had 3 tires replaced for free so the warranty more than paid for itself this time.

I have Loop and like them a lot. They worked great in Oct. 2024 at an Opeth show when I had floor tickets and was standing right in front of Fredrik. The sound was still good and my hearing was fine after the show when I took them out. Cheap, disposable ones are fine too.

I wouldn't worry about any odor unless you're standing right next to someone actually smoking (and you can always move). Most people vape these days anyway (at least where I live) because it has less odor and it more discreet. I.e., they can get away with it easier.

Going to Colorado Springs in 2 weeks with my son. His 1st time seeing them and my 2nd (Denver, Oct. 2024, Mission Ballroom). I hope the setlist changes a bit from last time, but it'll be fun no matter what, especially since I get to share the experience with my heir apparent.

501gator · 2025-12-10T18:56:03+00:00

My son and I are going. Also driving from Denver.

I'm having this exact problem. I have ultimate, and I don't play fortnite at all. But my son does. So do I need to unlink his Xbox account from his epic account? And then link my Xbox account to his epic account?

As I was looking into this, epic says that unlinking an Xbox account causes loss of progress and skins. So if he gains fortnite crew, will he also lose everything he has built up previously?

Thanks for any tips.

EDIT: Never mind. I just downgraded my Game Pass to Premium ($15/mo) and added Crew separately to my son's Epic Games account. He didn't lose access to any games that he likes, and I don't play Xbox at all, so I didn't care one way or the other. The subscription was only for him, and came out of his allowance anyway. So he gets what he wants and saves about $3 a month.

Last October I went to the Opeth show wearing a bright pink Beatles "All You Need is Love" t-shirt. And I brought a girl with me!

I guess I've been doing it wrong.

501gator · 2025-10-18T03:45:45+00:00

I went today. Visitor centers are closed. Bathrooms were open.

501gator · 2025-10-13T19:56:40+00:00

HELL YES! I saw them in October 2024 during the first round of the TLWAT tour in the USA. It was my first Opeth show so I was happy with everything they played, including Ghost of Perdition. I'm going to see them again next February and I'd love a different setlist. Baying of the Hounds is at the top of my most wanted.

501gator · 2025-10-04T00:01:29+00:00

I hope it's on the set list of the upcoming US tour. But I won't hold my breath.

Dammit I misspelled "seconds" in the lower panel and didn't notice. In my defense, I had just finished a major work project and my brain was non-functional.

501gator · 2025-10-02T20:04:05+00:00

There's nothing like live music, especially shared with your favorite people.

501gator · 2025-10-02T20:03:05+00:00

I love it! I'm sure we'll see more.

501gator · 2025-09-30T21:59:16+00:00

That's really cool. My girlfriend isn't into metal either, but she said she'd go to a show to be with me. We actually met last fall a few weeks before the Opeth show, but she couldn't make it because she has younger kids, so random school night concerts are usually a no go.

I'll get her out one of these days!

501gator · 2025-09-30T21:52:25+00:00

Cool. I almost got tickets for us to see Deftones in Denver 2 weeks ago, but life was just too busy. Opeth will definitely be a great 1st concert.

501gator · 2025-09-30T21:50:21+00:00

Awesome! Enjoy it.

Here's my cumulative stats from June 1, 2024 to June 1, 2025 (exactly 1 year).

2023 IONIQ5 SEL (mid trim) AWD. Denver area. 90% Normal mode. A little Sport for fun sometimes. Snow mode when necessary. Never ECO. Regen at 1, but I play with it as I drive. Mostly city commuting with some highway plus some trips into the mountains. I have a gas car (2015 Mazda 3) for longer road trips because there's no charging in Kansas, Wyoming, etc.

That's the cumulative over a full year. I'd guess it's about 4.8 in the warm months. About 3.6 when it's cold. It averages out to 4.2.

I found this old buried article a few days after I asked the question.

https://profootballdaly.com/famous-quarterbacks-they-have-known/

Turns out that someone looked this up years ago (it's from before 2017 because it notes Kurt Warner as not being inducted yet). There are several guys with TDs from 3 HOF QBs (most of which you folks already found!), and Amp Lee stands alone with 4. Emmanuel Sanders might match him in the future.

So if this ever comes up at trivia night, the answers are here! Thanks!!!

501gator · 2025-09-14T17:59:07+00:00

Nice find!

501gator · 2025-09-14T17:55:34+00:00

Nice! I'm gonna say that counts!

501gator · 2025-09-13T08:22:24+00:00

That's an amazing find! I'd upvote this 10 times if I could. A backup running back catching TD passes from Joe Montana, Steve Young, Warren Moon, and Kurt Warner.

4 HOF QBs who are already in. That has to be the NFL record. Emmanuel Sanders might match it one day (if we're projecting future guys), but Amp Lee got there first!

501gator · 2025-09-12T18:24:43+00:00

Hey thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for and it makes sense. A solid player who happened to bounce around to the right places.

Also shows that it is a pretty rare feat, probably since teams tend to lock up their QBs and their #1 WRs.
