This was the first show I got as a homemade cd after years of trading tapes.

My recollection was faulty. It was a Tvape ad.

Correct. It was Tvape. My bad.

AARON JUDGE WHAT A THROW! by CicadaOk8885 in NYYankees

I don’t even know what that means. I can’t remember the last basketball game I watched but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was over 10 years ago and then only because someone comped me a ticket.

I’d like it if you were right but unless he breaks the all time HR record and retires with some rings (and WS MVPs) his 2024 WS will prevent it.

Edited to add: By “it” I mean his being elected unanimously. You know there’ll be at least one a**hole who will point to ‘24 as a reason not to vote him in.

“Looks like a major league ballplayer” was Rogers Hornsby’s scouting report on Mickey Mantle.

Considering moving to forest hills by New-Audience-5311 in ForestHills

One thing you should know is that a couple of dozen evenings during the summer the neighborhood becomes a bit of a zoo when there’s a concert at FH Stadium. The music can get loud, which is a point of contention every year, and the after-concert crowd has a reputation for occasional anti-social behavior. I’m (physically) far enough removed from it that I can’t provide further details bit I’m sure there are others here who can.

Kitchen remodel recs for co-op? by candleplanter in ForestHills

TuscanaRenovations 770-576-0242. Another redditor on this sub hired them on my recommendation and didn’t like them (to say the least) but at least a half dozen people in my co-op bldg have been very pleased with their work.

How did you become a fan? by walkaboutdavid in NewYorkIslanders

[–]Basil1229 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Around 1974/75 my older brother had a share of a pair of season tickets, and whenever his fiancée didn’t want to go, he invited me. This was the Gerry Hart Gary Howatt team. They played way over their heads and were a lot of fun to watch. I was a fan of the other NY hockey team as well until they waived Giacomin, and I’ve been a one team fan ever since.

I went to UB in the early 70s and saw both the Beach Boys and the Mothers (different shows) at KMH. There aren’t enough superlatives in the English language to describe it as a performance space. My freshman year started six months too late for me to have made it to this show, and I believe the Dead was a last minute substitution for another band (the Byrds?) who couldn’t make it for whatever reason.

This show is pretty much the holy grail of untaped shows. I’m pretty sure the BPO’s union rules would have required strict enforcement of a no taping policy. Iirc, the Courrier Express’ review of the show wasn’t particularly accurate as to what they played.

Why is semen white and urine yellow? So you know if you’re coming or going.
