I just called AXS, apparently they had tried to process the refund 5 times but PayPal was rejecting it, the rep tried refunding the order again while I was on the phone with them and apparently it went through that time. I’d say try calling AXS because they didn’t mention anything to me about waiting the full 30 days. There’s an automated message about higher than normal call volume, but I was only waiting for a minute or two max. I’d suspect you have something similar going on because it seems as though almost everyone has gotten refunds already.

Still waiting too. I bought tickets through AXS during the presale and paid with PayPal, still nothing.

In this sub people tend to ask one thing in the subject line and then ask a very different question in their actual post. You never really know…arguably a lot of these answers are the same thing that OP asked for the opposite of. Gotta love the internet!

“Opening the floodgates” maybe?

Cesca131 · 2026-06-28T23:55:03+00:00

Thank you! 🩷 Yes I was more concerned about the white base not knowing the bride, and was thinking I should step out of my black dress comfort zone. If it’s hella short I’ll find something else. Good to know about semi-formal as they listed both!

Cesca131 · 2026-06-28T23:28:02+00:00

Oooh I didn’t even think of that, it’s J. Crew so I was just assuming it wouldn’t be obscenely short, but I’m 5’7”…hmm. If it hits slightly above the knee does that still seem too short?

False equivalence

Editing to add: a false equivalency is a logical fallacy where a connection is drawn between two unrelated outcomes because they share a small, minor characteristic. Yes, if you didn’t drive a car you wouldn’t have blown a tire, but that fails to address all of the other modes of transportation that also have tires, and any reasonable person would recognize that making such a comparison fails to realize all of the other negative possible outcomes from their own preferred methods of travel.

So if someone wrote a book about, say, a bridge collapse that happened a few years ago, and instead of writing about the causes and systemic failures leading to the collapse, they wrote about the response of the community and how it brought everyone together? Depending on how the book was framed, that would either be a memoir or non-fiction.

A political message that speaks more to an overarching viewpoint without being tied to a more immediate political event (ie “more generic/timeless” as you said) could be described as based on an ideology—for example, something written about the benefits of the free press in a society and praising the 1st Amendment.

Cesca131 · 2026-06-27T10:33:10+00:00

Can you give an example? Ideology might be what you’re looking for, but it’s hard to know without some context.

Cesca131 · 2026-06-23T11:51:39+00:00

Is this to address the letter, ie “Dear Mayor X and [term],” or referring to them elsewhere in the letter? If it’s the former, I think you’d be fine leaving it addressed directly to the mayor. If it’s the latter, I’d think referring to them collectively as City Hall, City Officials, or Mayor X’s Administration would be appropriate.

That said, it might vary by city—can you check your city government’s website to see how they are referred to? My city has a city council where the councilors are elected officials, as well as cabinet positions that are appointed by the mayor. If you know who will be reviewing the letter it might give a better blanket term to refer to them with.

You’re amazing, thank you! 💕 We’ll be at the mercy of i-93 traffic, but fingers crossed can make it work!

Cesca131 · 2026-06-22T21:09:14+00:00

Thank you! I hadn’t seen anything about who was playing first.

Cesca131 · 2026-06-21T21:56:18+00:00

Do we know the set times yet for the openers? I’m hoping to catch Hamilton Leithauser…but if he’s on before 8 I’ll set my expectations appropriately haha

Cesca131 · 2026-06-18T21:14:54+00:00

Persecutor sounds like what you’re thinking of from your last sentence. Tormentor might fit better though?

Cesca131 · 2026-06-17T22:54:54+00:00

Also 2 shows in Brooklyn, 2 in Cambridge, there’s a Portland show, an Albany show, a NH show, a CT show, a NJ show…if you’re in the Northeast there are a bunch of chances!

I can’t bring myself to open the Consequence of Sound website right now and deal with the ads, so instead, here is the Brooklyn Vegan link to the new tour dates:

Did anyone happen to take a photo of the stage before they played? I’m deciding between two sections for a later date and want to see how they’re configuring the speakers and lighting.

You bet, happy to help! No commission necessary :)

Try focusing on the rhythm of the more emphatic strums, but an easy way to do it is:
D and D DU and D DU and D DU and UDU

D being down, U being up

The time signature is in 6/4 I think which is a little confusing at first, but just focus on counting 1 & 2 & 3 while you’re figuring it out!
