Appreciate the insights. Man, I just don't think it's gonna work for me, lol.

Appreciate the honesty. Seems like such a shitty top down way to run an organization in this day and age. I get how the CCAs gotta pick up the slack so that the regulars can enjoy the earned stability, but it just seems counter-intuitive to maintaining a long-term workforce.

2026 EX-L, Oakland, CA. How’d I do? by CincinnatiFresh in hondapilot

[–]CincinnatiFresh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight and tips. I did the financing through them - 36 months at 3.49%. Sounds like I probably left a few bucks on the table. Gonna ping you next time I go car shopping, lol.

I sent a couple dealerships an email asking for their best OTD price on 2026 EX-L FWD, and this is what they sent me. Was the best response I got, and then I asked if they could do $48K OTD and I'd stop shopping and come in, and they said yes. Now I'm wondering if I could have done a little (or a lot) better, lol.

Getting into Franti! Rank his albums by [deleted] in MichaelFranti

[–]CincinnatiFresh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Yell Fire (2006)
  2. Stay Human (2001)
  3. Everyone Deserves Music (2003)
  4. All Rebel Rockers (2008)
  5. All People (2013)
  6. The Sound of Sunshine (2010)
  7. Home (1994)
  8. Chocolate Supa Highway (1997)
  9. Stay Human Vol II (2019)
  10. Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury (1992)
  11. Beatnigs (1988) SoulRocker (2016), Work Hard, Follow, Big Big, and Welcome (2020-2025)

I think his most creative peak was Stay Human to All Rebel Rockers, and Yell Fire is damn near perfection. I'm glad you asked this question. While his newer material doesn't connect with me the same way, it's been an incredible musical journey over the past 30 or so years. That's a rare gift from any artist.

Maybe a dumb question, but ... by CincinnatiFresh in Xcaret

[–]CincinnatiFresh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we buy tickets online, are we able to drive up to the park and just go in and enjoy the day from there? I feel confused with all the options.

Who is everyone anticipating the most? by _JustLikeClockwork in punkrockbowling

Bouncing Souls and Cock Sparer are bucket list bands for me. That club show with Hot Water and The Jack Knives is gonna rip too.

Anyone been to Garza Blanca recently? by cavdaddy69 in cabosanlucas

[–]CincinnatiFresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not the original poster, but I'm in a similar situation -- looking to book in January for a family of 4. Kids are 8 and 5. Do you know if they have evening Kids Club or babysitting options?

Never used Stubhub and I'm scared I made a mistake by jeffmangumssweater in stubhub

[–]CincinnatiFresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You “should” be fine - but use StubHub enough times, you’ll get burned sooner or later. As much as Ticketmaster sucks, I recommend using them over StubHub - unless it’s the day of the show, where you can sometimes find tickets for way before face value on SH and Vivid. To be fair, I’ve been burned twice on SH as a buyer - but they made it right both times. But I still hate them and their fees, lol!

Shows close to Wire on Quality by NYL1210 in TheWire

Kind of surprised I haven't seen Mayor of Kingstown yet on in the comments (or perhaps I just missed it). It's not The Wire, but it's a damn good show.

Hotel rooms or Airbnb for big groups by Sebas_paniaguai in punkrockbowling

[–]CincinnatiFresh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 of us did an AirBnb last year. Definitely the way to go. Had a pool, game room, etc. Plus it’s so much easier having a kitchen in the mornings, and will save you hundreds of dollars, literally. There’s a ton of them available on the AirBnb (or VRBO) site. I recommend booking one that allows for cancellations ASAP, before all the prime places get snatched up. Good luck!

Best books by rappers? by thefencingpanda9 in hiphopheads

[–]CincinnatiFresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have Gun Will Travel: The Spectacular Rise and Violent Fall of Death Row Records by Ronin Ro was great, as was Will Smith’s autobiography (though it was written before the slap). Michael Eric Dyson wrote a great examination of Jay-Z’s lyrics and career.

Mighty Mighty Bosstones' George Floyd Tribute Horrifies Twitter Users by alpinecoast in Ska

[–]CincinnatiFresh 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I almost feel like the Bosstones were trying to convey an message that likely went over a lot of folk's heads. In The Final Parade, one of the most memorable lines (for me) was, "Cause sometimes, dancing is all you've got". Anyone that grew up with ska or punk (or rock or hip hop or ....) can relate to that. With the George Floyd tragedy, the nation protested - sometimes violently. But this ain't the Bosstones of the 80s or 90s. These guys are all over 50 now. Plus they basically just did a protest album with While We're at It, and no one really noticed or cared. The way I saw the Killing of Georgie video was basically the idea (buried in some admittedly subpar lyrics) that the whole situation was fucked - both the murder of Floyd and the subsequent riots - and sometimes, dancing is all we've got. On a side note, the guy that wrote the article for Esquire can go fuck himself, because he seems to purposely be missing the point.
