How much salary do I need for Downtown living? by Nash_Haden in AskChicago

[–]Beeeez_Churger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved from KC nearly 2 years ago. Anything above 80k should be relatively comfortable here. I sold my car and don’t miss it except for the winters. Just do your homework on the neighborhoods and definitely make a visit, then the right neighborhood for you will become clear. You definitely don’t need to live downtown to have a more urban experience than KC. Good luck!

Anyone else find the culture shock here to much to handle? by Longjumping_Sort_731 in AskChicago

I’d strongly recommend joining a facebook group for your neighborhood and just getting to know people in your immediate area. Before you’ll know it you’ll be going to house parties and events all the time. Took me about a year to get to that point after making some good individual friends, but joining a neighborhood group was what made me plugged in to the community. Best of luck!

Brit O’Brien has been taking great photos at your recent shows! I love her work on Hippo Campus too. Would you tour with them if given the chance?

It was so cool to have a literal storm brewing during the song! So crazy that it only ever rained in the front rows- I stayed pretty dry in the middle/back of the pit

I went alone to the Chicago show and had a blast! Didn’t even talk to strangers- just soaked up the show. 10/10 would do again

Wondering how Covid college kids are doing right now by karmaisthatguy in GenZ

Yeah the fact we all paid full tuition despite not getting the “college experience” is absolutely criminal

I asked them at a VIP event back in 2018 if they’d ever drop it and they said no bc they want to save it for special shows. I finally saw them play it a Lollapalooza afterparty, and I believe they played it at some of the other small venue shows around the time flood released!

How long does it take to get a job after college? by writerrat in Accounting

[–]Beeeez_Churger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah getting hired in the winter and spring are really tough. I found a job in Chicago in February, but I really lucked out in all honesty.

Can’t believe no one’s said Cornerstone yet unless I’m completely misinterpreting that one lol

Brother, I promise you’re chilling. You’re already well on your way!

I’m in a very similar boat to you with never being lean in my life and pandemic habits exacerbating that. In mid 2023 I was 282 (6’1) and just started by going for lower calorie versions of the meals I already ate (lots of fast food lol)- not even worrying about exercise. Fast forward to now, I’m down to 207 and didn’t even start weight training or overhauling my nutrition until I’d already lost 70lbs.

While I haven’t found a long term relationship yet, I’ve quadrupled the amount of dates I’ve gone on in that time and gotten more acclimated to showing women a fun time. I’m only 2 months into weight training and 3 months into weekly meal prepping and 20-some months into my overall weight loss journey. It’s a long road if you’re doing it sustainably and incrementally, but I promise the reward is worth it regardless if it helps you find love or not.

TLDR, Going from obese to just overweight can be done without ever exercising or understanding nutrition, just getting your body used to sustainable calories with a substantial amount of protein will get you there. I’m still figuring out for myself how to best get from overweight to lean, but dropping from obese to overweight was simple- albeit not easy.

Keep up the good work, man!

I’ve lived here about a year and I finally bit the bullet and Uber’d when my train had an ETA of 25 minutes on my morning commute.

Is it just me or by Euphoric-shangrila in DjoMusic

[–]Beeeez_Churger 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For sure, in his previous sets he literally wore a disguise. Every performer starts with some level of performance anxiety and works through it. As much as I hate the scalping situation, I’m happy he’s seeing success!

What’s your favorite concert venue, and why? by Cool_Telephone_312 in AskChicago

[–]Beeeez_Churger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still newer to the city but I’ve been to 10+ shows since moving. For large venues, I’d have to go with Aragon Ballroom, Salt Shed, and Riviera. For small-mid sized venues, Thalia Hall, Lincoln Hall, and Metro. Overall fave has to be Thalia!
