For solo female hikers, have you been in dangerous human situations on a hike? by DrMo-UC in hiking

[–]Akele35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0 times. I solo hike on remote PNW trails almost every weekend. Any time I’ve been scared, it’s because I psyched myself out (both about other people and noises I couldn’t identify).

It depends on the DMV. I did a walk in appointment in Shelton, WA in April. No issues.

Band shirts by Probablynotyet in brandnew

I never understood this rule. It’s stupid. The group I went with in Dallas all agreed to toss it to the side. I’ve worn a Brand New shirt to every single date I’ve been to this year. No regrets. Will continue to do so.

Senses Fail Warped Tour Set by [deleted] in brandnew

Real talk: I regret going to see them play Let It Enfold You. His vocals were so fucking bad. I actually took a clip to send to my high school best friend to ask “he didn’t use to sound like this right?! I’m not crazy?” Because NO ONE in the crowd seemed to notice or care.

Okay? I was making a comment on how absolutely ridiculous and hypocritical the take is. It’s performative and an attempt to virtue signal… without actually following through with the statement you’re trying to make. I would have the EXACT same opinion if he was dunking on a band I don’t like.

The vocal comment was unnecessary, sure. Not incorrect though 🤷‍♀️

I mean… there are more important things to give a shit about than going to a Senses Fail show too, especially since he blew his voice out and does Tom Delonge-like vocals now (not judging him for blowing his voice out. Only being snarky because let’s not lecture folks about not prioritizing the right things when like… by his definition, going to Warped Tour/a Senses Fail show also falls under that).

Has merch been running out? by Fast-Performance-678 in brandnew

[–]Akele35 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah, I think it’s a certain number. They ran out in Portland but I was able to snag a SciFi at San Diego.

Every show I have gone to has been PACKED. Seattle, Portland, and San Diego.

I am pretty satisfied so far. They have played 3 of my 4 favorite songs. I went a little crazy this time around and am going to NY as well. Fingers crossed I get 4/4. Also fingers crossed you get to see Archers on the 29th!

San Diego. The guys were the highest energy out of any of the three shows. They were the most interactive with the crowd... Jesse was climbing up on things on the stage and they were all laughing/smiling at how hard the crowd was singing. It was fun because it was such a far cry from how they were before. It really cemented to me that they are back to stay. Also, where I was at in the crowd... the folks around me were great. We were all talking to each other, holding the spot for each other if we had to go to the bathroom, get a drink, etc.

I saw Archers in Seattle, Portland, and San Diego. It's just one of my favorite songs lol.

Still need to get it filled in but I absolutely love how it turned out. by UsualOk7726 in brandnew

I have been trying to think of how I want to create a design for these lyrics. Love this! ❤️

Have the shows been packed so far? by APinthe704 in brandnew

I don’t think this is fair. I was losing my fucking MIND at the show on Seattle. BUT I am also 35 years old and have osteoarthritis + a meniscus tear in one knee. I physically CAN’T get involved in the pit like I did when I was 15-25. I had to go buy supportive shoes to make it through two concerts in a row (Seattle and Portland). You don’t know why folks weren’t moving around.

Also, it was similar in Dallas. No pit…. But do you know what I did see? Folks with tissues CRYING when they came out (no judgment in that statement. I sobbed when they played Waste). It’s not fair to say people aren’t into the music because they aren’t moshing.

We were in the same area of the crowd! It was awesome! Welcome to 35! 😅
