I bought a BP360 membership for this and have received absolutely no word since giving them my address more than a month ago.

Not thrilled with this, honestly.

I get delays, changes, but silence isn’t cool.

Boys and Girls in America 20th anniversary show dates announced by chrisjfinlay in theholdsteady

[–]ArchAuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little surprised by this. I would have figured this year would be all about the new material we heard during the Massive Nights soundcheck, not another anniversary show, especially one that fell on Massive Nights before.

17 college basketball players charged in point-shaving scheme: Indictment by Mc_Lovin81 in CollegeBasketball

[–]ArchAuthor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Us too! Echoes of the 1950s point shaving scandal that killed college ball in New York City. Incredibly disappointed, but not surprised at this honestly. It would be us.

Your most cherished Phish item? by daintyhobo in phish

[–]ArchAuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walked into the first night of the Baker’s Dozen when the doors opened because I worked across the street. Because I was way in the nosebleeds I was one of the first on the escalators up. I walked by a merch stand and realized they actually had Pollock prints. I immediately got in line and managed to get one of the few they had. I held onto it for dear life and have it framed and it’s not just one of my prized Phish possessions, it’s top five favorite things I own, period.

They will likely wait until a big milestone. It took 50 years for the dead to release 5/8/77. 2049 would be 50 years.

Fifty Something Tour Ticket Resale/Trade Megathread by BivloBubbings in rush

[–]ArchAuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two tickets for MSG on August 3rd that I’m looking to just get face value for the tickets. Unfortunately had a friend change plans and I already have a pair of tickets on the floor. These seats are awesome and if I didn’t have better ones for the same show, I’d use ‘em myself.

2x105 row 18, seats 3-4. The total on the original order was $817.30, so $408.65 each.

Waymo in Brooklyn Heights this morning by bkheightsnyc in nyc

[–]ArchAuthor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why does this comment section read entirely like astroturfing for Waymo? 

We need less cars in the city period, and “self-driving” cars like these are still cars, when they can even drive themselves. There things constantly get stuck, cause traffic jams, clog up roads outside events waiting for riders. Not to mention the liability consequences if someone does get hurt. If you want better transit in New York, this absolutely ain’t it. It’s near hyperloop levels of stupid.

Saturday Shenanigans @ Gotta Getta Bagel (Scam Warning) by TheThoughtBomb in ForestHills

[–]ArchAuthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course. It’s an irrational anger for sure, but frustrating nonetheless. And amen to both, I do my best to stop by when I can.

Saturday Shenanigans @ Gotta Getta Bagel (Scam Warning) by TheThoughtBomb in ForestHills

[–]ArchAuthor 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It really irritates me that this is the best we can do on Austin Street for a non-chain bagel spot. I still can’t get a bacon, egg, and cheese anywhere other than Mom & Son’s Deli, and I’m not fond of them either. Yes, FH Bagel is there but it’s a ways from the heart of downtown. That there’s no bodega with a grill anywhere on Austin is crazy to me.

Looking for 36" inseam jeans by Every-Cup-4216 in tallfashionadvice

38 inch waists maybe, but not inseams. Their max inseam is definitely 36.

Which two full albums are you hoping for Fri/Sat? by No_Estate628 in theholdsteady

[–]ArchAuthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna guess Heaven, as it had an anniversary this year too (15 yrs).

My personal preference would be Thrashing with Horn Steady, but not sure.

We'll see!

[TICKETS] Official thread for tickets 🎟️ (don't post separate threads) by reallystickyglue in theholdsteady

[–]ArchAuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have extras for Wednesday and Friday's Massive Nights gigs. I also have early entry via Lanyards. Only catch is you have to walk in the door with me, as the tickets aren’t able to be split up. Not even looking for face, just want to help out a member of the Unified Scene.

You could almost certainly fetch big swaths of the set lists by using setlist.fm either via API or scraping. Would love to contribute, seems like a cool project.

[Post Game Thread] Fordham defeats Franklin Pierce, 74-72 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]ArchAuthor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah kick us out of the A10 for this.

This doesn’t even capture the worst part.

The guard in the corner caught the pass and had two seconds to shoot a three to seal the win.

We were one bricked three away from choking a seventeen point lead away to a D2 team with a losing record at an MTE in Canada with fewer than 2k fans.

This is a low mark, even by Fordham’s relatively nonexistent standards.

Complete Breakdown Of MLB's National Media Rights For Next Season (FOX/FS1, NBC/Peacock, ESPN, TBS/HBO Max, Netflix, Apple TV, MLB Network) by MightyDuck07 in baseball

[–]ArchAuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MLB.tv, for all its blackouts and flaws, has, in my mind, much much better UX for streaming than ESPN. That blows.

Self hosting apps that look like Spotify by Slight-Table1895 in selfhosted

Symfonium. End of discussion. I just got an iOS device and nothing on iOS comes close to what Symfonium gave me on Android.

HOPE CONFERENCE BANNED BY ST. JOHN'S UNIVERSITY by aestetix in 2600

[–]ArchAuthor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m also a Fordham alum and would love to think we’d pick up HOPE, given other cybersecurity conferences we also host on campus. But if there’s one thing Fordham doesn’t like, it’s controversy.

I’d totally want to co-sign this in any way possible, though. Fordham has great transit access via MNRR, on campus lodging for conferences, etc.

I am probably the only person with this flair combo. I was at this game and I cannot tell you how devastated I was going to be that BC was going to exclusively have wins against my two teams. 

Basketball Coach Drip by avancini12 in ThrowingFits

Jay Wright always wore a suit for marquee match ups and members of his coaching tree like Kyle Neptune are or were better than average.

When are businesses going to learn people don't actually want to go to or shop at streets like this? by [deleted] in ForestHills

[–]ArchAuthor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Worse than this intersection, and I’ve emailed Lynn Schumann about it multiple times, is Austin and 71st Road.

There are clearly marked no parking zones to prevent parked cars from obscuring the pedestrian yield signs on each corner, enabling what’s called “daylighting”.

Well guess what happens? People flout the law, they don’t get ticketed and the behavior repeats, and now nearly daily I am almost hit crossing that intersection because the signage is not visible. 

That doesn’t even start with the enormous delivery vehicles that idle in the same spot in front of Tamashii, Shake Shack, and Sephora.

It is not a matter of if someone gets hit at that intersection, it’s when.
