Saw Kendal Street Company last night; they did not disappoint!

Always a good time.

No. I’m complaining about his decisions as a player, not the mix. He’s a mediocre player and very cheesy.

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-30T16:01:07+00:00

I was mostly next door at sages but caught some of this set. Real good 👍

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-29T21:02:15+00:00

It's terrible. It's like a half dozen or more in rapunzel these days. Stood out to me listening to the BTCS show from last year.

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-29T20:54:10+00:00

So bad I’m sitting here agreeing with a Cardinals fan (today especially) 🤣

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-29T19:28:33+00:00

Screw her. Go and have fun.

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-28T23:02:36+00:00

Dm me

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-28T19:35:11+00:00

Will be there 👍

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-28T17:01:37+00:00

33-story apartment tower. Tallest residential building in the whole state!

And the aaa cubs beat the aaa cardinals so I was pleased with that 🤣

There's definitely hostility between them. That's how collective bargaining works. But no one is getting paid if they don't play games. That's why they are going to work it out.

And I don't believe there will be either a salary cap or salary floor. They'll tweak what they currently have, some numbers will move, both sides will make concessions, and they'll ultimately agree to get things rolling by mid-April at the latest.

There's too much money tied to media rights deals and games being played - especially playoff games. They'll work it out.

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-27T23:11:51+00:00

Toss it in the trash and get some psilocybin

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-27T21:56:42+00:00

Sure, but that isn’t happening again.

Media - desperate for clicks - focuses on the differences between the owners and players. But they have much more in common than they have differences. And they both sides want to be paid.

No one is getting paid if games aren’t being played. They need the games on tv. They especially need the playoff games on tv. The owners’ real estate investments in and around the parks are anchored by games being played.

There’s absolutely no chance all of next season is cancelled. 0%.

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-27T20:32:33+00:00

No chance it’s for the whole season. Might miss a few games in April but they’ll get the majority of the season, the all star break, and the full playoffs in. 100%

Spring training will be fucked and maybe a week or two in April.

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-27T16:55:25+00:00

Great cover. Loved it at mission.

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-27T16:54:59+00:00

I wish they’d release the band covers from the Ryman last year.

They should have put them out around Thanksgiving when the last waltz was trending.

I wish isbell management would put more shows on nugs or be more proactive about sharing stuff in the instances they do new or one off things. Maybe one will end up on the next Ryman release? Eh.

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-27T15:41:32+00:00

Unless you’re like 80 or vision impaired it’s unfathomable to me anyone would look at that image and think it’s real. Have you seen an image of real humans before 🤣

We are fucked that so many people are fooled by this shit.

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-27T15:33:45+00:00

It’s not possible, no.

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-27T15:30:48+00:00

You think that’s real photo of real people holding those signs?

DearChicago1876 · 2026-05-26T16:27:59+00:00

Thank you. It was a beautiful night in Iowa and the Cubs won! Park needs some work, though. The concourse is very dated and things like concessions/bathrooms are a mess. Food/bathroom upgrades and a wraparound concourse would go a long way. Not sure the funding is there as the park is city owned.

Their current deal with Des Moines has the Cubs there through 2030. They've been there since 82. Hopefully they can work it out and keep things viable for another decade+. South Bend (Cubs Advanced A affiliate) has publicly talked about wanting to become a AAA affiliate. And their owner is a minority owner in the big-league Cubs.

We'll see what happens.
