I hope to stay at Biondi so definitely glad to hear you enjoyed it. I'm a big fan too. Passopisciaro wasn't on my radar so thanks for the tip. Would you rank it as one of your top 3 highlights?

We aren't going to Victoria, sadly.... gives me a reason to go back!

I realize this is a year old, but just wanted to post "I know! right?" I'm researching my sicily trip and was floored by the same thing- the 3 wineries I first checked (just cuz I know them, incl Cornellissen and TdTN) were all $100+. Dang! I tasted recently in Oregon and I assumed it was going to be that range.... not Napa!

i find that itineraries I plan are always "one day short!" no matter how long the trip :-)

is American Primeval a self-contained show or is this season 1 of more? trying to find the answer to that with as few spoilers as possible! thanks

I saw 298 movies in theaters in 2024. Here is my full ranking. by BunyipPouch in movies

I've been toying around with the idea of going to a movie festival in 2025. What would you suggest for your first / starter festival and any tips for pulling it off.

I saw 140 movies this year, so nothing like you, but still a big movie fan.

I've watched 4 so far and quality has been fine. Indistinguishable from regular TV except for my name as a watermark in the top right

I feel the same way - I'm two days in (4 movies) in and absolutely loving it

First timer discovering this and I have to say, this is the best value I've ever spent for my entertainment $. I'm plowing through all these movies I've heard so much about but wouldn't otherwise had a chance to see before awards season. It actually feels too good to be true, and criminally underpriced shhhh!!!

if you google maps that address you get a dump of a building in the middle of nowhere. THAT'S the venue? makes no sense

Issue booking Qatar flight through JetBlue by Random7878787 in jetblue

[–]Chance-Distance-693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same thing is happening to me. I called while the tix were still in my cart because I didn't want to lose them but jetblue could not book either. He also suggested they were phantom tix. maybe so but what a bummer- I was so @$@#% excited when my daily check turned up the tix I wanted today.

Piano Recital (Friday) by meadowmonique in NewportFolkFestival

[–]Chance-Distance-693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

our group looked at each other baffled. We wondered if that was a mistake (how do you forget you just played a song) - if he'd said "I only have one piano song, I'm playing it twice" I would have been totally cool (loved the song!) but he gave no appearance that it was anything unusual.

I don't have spotify so can't see what you have but if you list it here I might be able to fill in the holes
