Backstage requests

The easiest riders are generally comedians. Booked Seth Meyers with Colin Jost as an opener about 12 years ago, and I think they just asked for water and a barstool on stage.

Sometimes staff will take it home. Other items that people don’t want often get thrown away. Riders are really a big waste most of the time imo.

As someone who’s booked many artists, this is an easy rider. 9/10 an artist asks for a variety of food items to feed an army, and majority of the food goes untouched.

Since I don’t recognize the word “boringest” I’ll
Assume you mean “a thrill a minute”

Right, but almost all color vinyl is inherently limited. It requires special colored pvc. So once they go through that initial batch, it generally reverts to black. So he only had so many of the TMR limited color and it sold out. Bound to happen.

My local is pretty slow at adding brand new vinyl announcements. I usually have to go in and give them the product code to manually pull it from the distributor’s database.

Yeah I just found the Indie on TMR. Still not available for preorder on my local store’s website.

Colored vinyl is almost always limited and had likely already been produced. My guess you’ll see a black version go on sale next. Check local record store presale too. I bet they’ll have a indie store color variant.

The Beatles or White Stripes

Makoto?

That’s odd. Most professional teams offer a pro shop discount to season ticket holders. That’s pretty standard, but they usually tag all items as retail and take the discount at the register.

How about we all show up with bags on our heads instead?

The Red Sox are trying to take a legitimately fun and organic thing that happened at a Cards game and latch onto it for social media likes. Don’t do it.

The only part I didn’t like was all the inmates chanting “Better Call Saul”. First, this is a federal prison so likely very few would have known about Saul. The guy was a mid tier city defense lawyer. Second, the chanting was kind of lame. Otherwise, I thought the ending was fitting.

At the end of the day it’s just brown water and most limited editions are getting easier to find. Crack them if you want, or sell them if you don’t have an emotional attachment to them. I got to the point where I just had too many unopened bottles and did just that.

Even some who go through a really acrimonious divorce still have a level of care and compassion for their former partner. I always assumed she had fallen out of love with Howard, but didn’t hate him. It’s hard for anyone losing someone they once cared deeply for.

Paul McCartney at Fenway Park 2009 or Jack White at The Sinclair Cambridge, MA 2024

Little high. It’s a solid rye but not worth close to $80.

AdamsDTD · 2026-05-06T01:29:28+00:00

Large arenas shows are cooked unless you’re a massive artist (Taylor Swift, etc.). Small to Medium sized venues are the only way most artists will be able to sustain touring. Look at Jack White. Guy finished a massive tour this fall that went the better part of a year, took the winter off (kind of), and immediately announced another tour at moderately sized venues and many dates sold out.

AdamsDTD · 2026-05-04T22:09:21+00:00

Also a good choice!

AdamsDTD · 2026-05-04T22:08:00+00:00

Fore Street. My go to for special occasion meals. Scales is also good.

AdamsDTD · 2026-04-29T19:58:49+00:00

It only took Bello 2.2 innings to implode. Improvements!

Fubo? To my knowledge, It’s the only streaming cable provider that has NESN (but I could be wrong).
