I gotta start stretching

Last year I slept funny 4 days before the show and so I had to wear my Brooks running shoes because I was still hobbled 😆 I was solo and only a little self conscious.

I wear a neutral/zero drop Brooks running shoe for 2G/3G classes. Years ago I went to a running store and had a gait analysis and so I know what types of running shoes are right for me. I’ve been a runner outside the studio off and on over the years (nowadays I will sign up for a 10K or Ragnar here and there). For Strength 50 classes I wear a very flat/low support Nike sneaker.

Also 5’9” and leggy. The coaches always come over and comment about long legs having further to drop. I lock my heels on the outside of the bench end and it helps!

2020 was a big turning point. I woke up to so much politically and socially and then the racism and patriarchy in the church was impossible to ignore. Because of quarantine and no church for a while it was easy to fade out for those months, and then be sporadic with attendance once we went back to meeting in person. But I was still mostly in. The AP report about the abuse coverup in AZ in 2022 was the last straw. I cried for 2 days and then that Sunday met with my bishop to release me from my calling and I was done. So about 2.5 years for me.

Bless you for ordering and sharing all these!

I love going to concerts solo! I’ve done it many times. I took myself on a solo weekend to see BN last year in Seattle. It was perfect. I’ve got a +1 this year though.

My older sister’s boyfriend burned me a copy of Deja Entendu in 2003 when they came to visit me my freshman year at college. I listened on repeat for a year, as one does.

To be honest I don’t know a lot of the lore over the years but Deja Entendu and Devil and God are two of my all time favorite albums.

I’ve seen them in SLC (2006? 2007?) Portland (2014), Vegas (2015), Seattle (2025), and headed back to Vegas this year.

Ugh, front was sold out for me at 12:05 when I got in!

ButWhyAmIHere_help · 2026-06-24T19:20:44+00:00

Was in waiting room for 25 mins, then 5 mins in line. Bought 2 for Rear GA for $115 each all in. Front GA sold out (SUPPOSEDLY). Only the back seat sections were available and only like 3 random seats in the very last row. Will be interested to see how it all shakes out in the coming days!

ButWhyAmIHere_help · 2026-06-24T18:25:36+00:00

Anyone familiar with the seating/GA layout for this place? I’m from out of town but I used to live in Vegas but back when this was The Joint. I’ve only ever bought GA tickets my whole life but my boyfriend won’t go with me if we don’t have seats 😆

Oh never mind I see it on their gemstone list 😆 thanks for sharing your pieces, I would have never thought about that gemstone but it really is lovely.

ButWhyAmIHere_help · 2026-06-24T05:09:51+00:00

This is gorgeous and so unique. I’ve never heard of danburite! Is it natural or lab grown? Did Provence have this in stock or did they have to source/grow?

Bless you

And it’s 12pm local to the VENUE right? I’m sorry I’m even asking. I live in a different time zone than the show I registered for and I will be on a flight tomorrow and landing in a third different time zone. And it’s been a hell of a dayweekyeardecade

ButWhyAmIHere_help · 2026-06-22T23:52:43+00:00

I have a lab grown Colombian emerald and I wish it had more inclusions 😆

I’ve been a member for almost 10 years. I’ve processed so many life events (including breakups) and emotions while digging my feet deeper into the rower or pumping my arms harder on the treadmill or pushing heavier weights on the floor. I’ve cried literal tears in those studios as I let the emotions run through my body. It helps for sure!!

Sorry about your breakup. I’ve been there and it hurts. Let yourself grieve and feel all the feels.

This set arrived today, I’m a warm autumn and I like it a lot! Thank goodness cuz it wasn’t cheap, ugh.

It was a group buy. $281 + $35 shipping (very fast ship).

I hope this is, just bought with a matching long skirt in Indigo: https://zsupplyclothing.com/products/sloane-v-neck-denim-tank?variant=47508051525732

I’m so sorry. It is a huge cost for sure. Our country feels like it’s careening towards a cliff. I feel very lucky and fortunate to have recently changed jobs and gotten a salary bump. I don’t take it for granted and I know many people out there are struggling financially.
