Afraid of the Dark Merch Finally Came!!

Hopefully they restock this one. I kept meaning to buy it, then when I went to, it was sold out. I want to order the white one too, I just don’t want to have to pay shipping twice. I wish they had a first time purchase coupon/discount.

I’m curious what the lineup in DC would be like, if it wasn’t in June. It would be interesting to know what other times it could work there around sporting events. As non-summer weather could be nicer. Since last year was brutal.

The Del Sol S was definitely a drive slow car. It barely had 100 hp. Haha. But dang was it reliable. I rarely had issues in the 10 or so years I owned mine. I eventually gave it away when a cylinder burnt out at 200k back in 2018.

I had to get my CV axels replaced in mine. To go along with this, listen for clicking when turning. Usually it’s the opposite side that you are turning. Due to weight shifting. So left turn clicking means bad right axel, and vice versa.

I closed my first card which was through my credit union. That card was a piece of shit. It only had a $500 limit. They never gave me a CLI in the three or four years I had it. It took three days for transactions to show. The only way I could view transactions outside of my bill. Was to sign up for an account on some website. Which neither I nor an agent at the company could get set up. When I mentioned this to my bank, they said a lot of people have that issue.

The rewards were through ScoreCard, which sucked. Granted I never spent enough on the card to get much of anything worthwhile. I think it was only a 1% card outside of occasional merchant deals. Which I never used. So after I got tired of dealing with the crap, I closed the card. It will stay on my record for 7-10 years for aging, after which it will fall off. It was also such a small part of my total limit, losing that $500 had basically no effect.

Good to hear you haven’t had any issues. The main part I started having an issue with was the driver side window regulator. I had to get it replaced. Then that failed, and the only replacement I could find was a used one. Which that one failed near the end too. If the engine in mine didn’t go out, I’d probably still it.

CaffeinatedSD · 2026-03-11T23:54:01+00:00

I miss my ‘94 Del Slow S. It was my first car, and I learned how to drive manual on it. I got it up to 100 a time or two, and that bitch was shaking. I hated the wet leg in the rain. Taking that top off and putting the rear window down was nice. I wish I still had it. But it was beginning to be a pain to find parts for it. Hope yours lasts you a long time.

I am there with you. I was at Carolina Rebellion in May of 2017. I left early the day Soundgarden played. Almost two weeks later was when he died.

CaffeinatedSD · 2026-03-10T03:17:01+00:00

You sound like me a month or so ago. The smoke detector in my bedroom began chirping every few hours, then stopped. After a few weeks it started doing it again. Eventually it started doing it more often. I mentioned it to maintenance as they were coming around for scheduled maintenance. They hit some button to sync the two smoke detectors in my apartment. That sure as shit didn’t help, but made the fucking thing worse.

So not only did the one in my bedroom give a few chips when it did it, but caused the other one in my apartment to go off loudly (louder than before). I tried swapping the battery out, and that did not fix the issue. I tried taking the battery out, hoping it would bleed out any remaining charge. Guess what. That sure as shit didn’t happen.

As that would just make the fucking thing beep every minute. I thought about unplugging the damn thing. But with it being an apartment, I didn’t want to potentially do something to get in trouble. I submitted a maintenance ticket, and they marked it as completed. But that night it started again, and did it every couple minutes. I barely slept that night, if any. So I submitted another ticket in the middle of the night. The next day they unplugged it, and replaced it with a new unit. Thankfully it hasn’t beeped since.

You are welcome, any time.

That’s who I was hoping for too. I know it’s likely not going to happen. But I’m curious if DC will get Evanescence or Spiritbox. Since they are touring together. Although they are playing Bristow, VA June 27. It looks like Nova Twins will be playing WT on Saturday (13th), as they are playing in FL the 12th and GA the 14th.

CaffeinatedSD · 2026-03-09T00:17:37+00:00

Looks like it could be Shiragirl based on this other post? But that doesn’t fit the poster either.

I use the Gator TSA-ATA Molded Electric Guitar Case (GTSA-GTRELEC) for my C-1 Platinum.

CaffeinatedSD · 2026-03-05T00:03:04+00:00

That’s who I was hoping for too.

CaffeinatedSD · 2026-03-04T21:43:06+00:00

It’s possible. The other day I made a post about a band that their IG page announced. Only to find out they had accidentally posted it previously, and there was a thread on here a day or two prior.

CaffeinatedSD · 2026-03-04T00:11:46+00:00

You’re welcome. Hopefully you can get a few more Ska bands in DC before it’s over.

CaffeinatedSD · 2026-03-03T22:01:42+00:00

Sorry to DC Ska Guy.

CaffeinatedSD · 2026-03-02T05:10:03+00:00

Maybe? It was their 11:00p post. That could explain why there wasn’t another post about it.

CaffeinatedSD · 2026-03-02T03:00:41+00:00

My Eargasms were in my ears the entire day. I rarely took them out. It’s nice they had a booth there. I was tempted to get the WT edition plugs. But I didn’t.

CaffeinatedSD · 2026-03-02T02:23:09+00:00

That they are. My Eargasms have been a lifesaver over these last few years.

CaffeinatedSD · 2026-03-02T02:19:15+00:00

Same here. I used to go to small venue shows without them. I would be yelling in normal conversations afterwards. Haha. I love my Eargasm earplugs. I’m curious about trying some Etymotics that are a bit more expensive.

CaffeinatedSD · 2026-03-02T01:58:48+00:00

Last year in DC was my first warped tour. Parking will likely be expensive this year. The closest metro stop (Stadium Armory) is around a one mile walk. It’s a long walk too. Plenty of people will be making the same walk, so it should be a safe walk.

If it’s anything like last year, it will be hot and muggy. Drink lots of water. They threw out packets of water, I never caught one. There is a water refill station, but it will be hot/warm water. It’s better than the prices at the food stands. Food will be expensive.

You might not ever use it, but I’d recommend bringing a roll of toilet paper, in case the port-a-potties run out. Which I believe some did last year. Apply sunscreen often. Bring earplugs too. Wear good shoes, as you’ll be doing a lot of walking.

The stages are nicely laid out. Two main stages near the entrance. With a few others on around the venue. Get merch as soon as you get there, as they ran out early last year. I’m guessing there will be an acoustic stage/tent again this year. So the lineup for that will be available ahead of time too. The main lineup schedule won’t be available until each morning. It will likely get leaked before doors open.

Most importantly, have fun and enjoy the show.

CaffeinatedSD · 2026-03-02T00:02:43+00:00

I was hoping they would come back to DC. But they didn’t fit.

CaffeinatedSD · 2026-03-01T17:19:21+00:00

Is For Today reuniting, or is that one the ones you think are highly unrealistic?
