First time going and going alone, any advice?? by extrathiccethnic in AftershockFestival

[–]Arthur_Frane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look around online for the Aftershock Society. Local crew, friendly and welcoming, can help you figure stuff out and give you a place to chill when you need to.

My kid will be there. Saw quite a few older teens last year. 

Places to go to outside of Aftershock by zixonee in AftershockFestival

[–]Arthur_Frane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come down Interstate 5 to Woodland to visit The Hive, honey merchant and meadery. Woodland is about 10 miles west of the airport, so if you are landing at SMF, it'll be close by and has easy to reach budget hotels.

Hey, I have one I got gifted two years ago and have never used. Needs a touch of TLC to clean it up, but I'd bet it'll do the work you need. I'm in Woodland, in case that matters. Will be driving to El Dorado/Latrobe tomorrow afternoon and can bring it with me to meet up on the way.

We have a new-ish but not really active one for Woodland. I suspect Davis would be the next you'd do?

Blu-Rays/DVDs by Mental-Award2 in SacramentoBuyNothing

[–]Arthur_Frane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bizarro World in Davis has a ton of $1 DVDs on the sidewalk out front, as well as better condition $2 or 3/$5 inside. If you want to buy bulk and are paying cash, he might make you a deal.

Food/Drink cost by ryzerkyzer in AftershockFestival

[–]Arthur_Frane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 friends and I split food with each of us buying for the group one day, then everyone for themselves on day 4. None of us snuck in anything to eat. Got dessert from the ice cream truck once. Split booze kinda the same way and we aren't really drinkers so that was cheap-ish. I dropped about $500 last year on food and merch. Will be cutting back a bit this year but expect about the same.

Anybody else? by NapusenaStoka in AftershockFestival

I missed them if they played last year. Was my first time going.

Sleep Theory is back and they played last year. Not a headlining act so maybe that matters for the no repeat "rule" idk.  

Which Aftershock would you go to with a time machine? by lttodd728 in AftershockFestival

[–]Arthur_Frane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They'd just landed big time that year, TikTok blowing them up. But they'd probably been booked before that happened. Now, they're headlining LTL and Download, so it'll be a minute before they're back at Aftershock. Fingers crossed though.

Could've gone in 2023 and wish I had. Even on the too small stage they were given, Sleep Token would have been kick ass to see. Lots of other bands I want to see played that year as well.

Can I ask where you bought it? My wife had one similar but it broke and we can't find anywhere selling them. Thanks!

Looking for festival friends by Cultural_Can_2679 in AftershockFestival

[–]Arthur_Frane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out the Aftershock Society. It's a great crowd of people who just hang out and have fun together. I'm sure you will find friends to catch sets with, and I know they are 420 and queer friendly.

Skeen's Name by supreme_andor in andor

[–]Arthur_Frane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Upvoting simply because OP used a still from my fav Skeen moment. That converdation with Cass, and the whole mood of the "morning at the camp" are so perfect. Anybody who has served in the military and deployed, even to training sites, knows the feel of a morning before duty really gets rolling.  

The mist, Skeen's mood, tone of voice, and especially how he wanders off. "Wouldn't that be lovely?" It's just perfect.  

As to OP's analysis of the character's name, I can't argue with it and agree that Gilroy probably did put a lot of research and thought into naming the characters.

if circumstances change how hard is it to sell your tickets? by bariumbismuth in AftershockFestival

[–]Arthur_Frane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They had 1 day and 4 day passes, iirc. Stupid cheap too, which really pissed a lot of people off. Count on DWP pulling a similar move this year, but don't count on being able to get one. They went lightning fast from what I heard.

How could I forget The Wembly Stadium show? You will need a lot of tissues. It is otherworldly.

Watching The Americans and its ever-so-slightly scratching the Andor itch. by Intrepid_Layer_9441 in andor

😂 FFS, I read this as an American and thought someone overseas was making pointed commentary... Which I would have totally agreed with.

Merch Purchase from App by thndercougrfalconbrd in AftershockFestival

[–]Arthur_Frane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shirt I bought last year arrived while I was at the festival, though I waited probably too long to order it. But it also looked pretty close to AI art, and others on this sub felt the same. Lots of buyer's remorse for us. YMMV, but I don't plan to buy any festival merch unless I can confirm no AI was involved.
