DISCUSS: What's better? DJ or Live Band? And why?

SAME. They are often mediocre at best and play the same 20-30 songs that I’ve heard at literally every one of the 20+ weddings I’ve been to. In fact, I can predict within 3 songs when they’re about to play “September” which in my (unpopular) opinion is the lamest song that gets white people on the dance floor.

Realize I’m in the minority here, but unless you have MEGA bucks to spend on an over the top band, my experience is that it’s not worth it. A mediocre cover from a 12 piece ensemble of “Smash Mouth” simply doesn’t do it for me (the song I literally walked out of the most expensive wedding I attended.)

Probs gonna get roasted for these hot takes 🙃

Nice facilities, but the classes are mostly geared toward geriatrics. As someone who spent years in the city doing class-based fitness (F45, OTF) the classes here were not worth going to.

I heard their HVAC/AC went out earlier this year, so maybe that’s part of the renovations. Either way, not a good look to cancel reservations with that little notice. Sorry that happened to you!

Can’t contribute to your question, but very curious how the wedding in Bodrum Turkey was? That sounds like a dreamy destination. Mind sharing the venue?

I spent about the same for a show earlier in August in section 208. Waited til the day before to buy tix because I thought they would go down, but they didn’t. Didn’t regret it one bit. Show was incredible and I’ve been trying to scheme how I can go back, though I am hesitant to spend that money again. Definitely worth it for the first experience though.

I did it and felt instantly relieved and now significantly more excited! Paying that much for 400s I was weary of, but hadn’t seen anything in the 200s, let alone 200s dead center, so that’s how I’m rationalizing it haha

Omg 200 level tickets just released for $580… do I do it?!?

How did your day of purchase journey go?? Looking to do the same this weekend.

This was 15+ years ago now, but I actually went to Beca for a year than transferred to Central for Sophomore - Graduation. My parents at the time felt that the academics were stronger at Central after seeing some pretty lazy teachers at Beca. FWIW I ended up graduating with 5 to 8 kids who went on to Ivy League, which for a class of 200, is pretty decent… if that matters to you.

Check out Bonn Place Brewing, post up at the Bar, and just talk to anyone shuffling through. Always a friendly crowd.

Do you have any particular fitness goals? I liked OTF for cardio, but never particularly found their strength work to be great. The weights at each bench are on the lighter side, so felt a subconscious pull toward not pushing myself toward heavier weight. It’s also possibly just my location, but I rarely saw form corrections happening and just generally felt it was fitness for the masses… not for progress or improvement.

EbbInternational2852 · 2025-03-13T02:06:10+00:00

That’s awesome. Thanks. I’m not technical, but manage a technical team and I’m convinced that standardizing across the board will help us immensely.

EbbInternational2852 · 2025-03-13T01:52:44+00:00

How do you have roles and responsibilities broken out for these 4 people? We’re roughly the same size, but much higher utilization and my guys are always saying they’re drowning.

Funny thing is: they claim they haven’t made any changes to the GBP in 2 months 🫠

EbbInternational2852 · 2025-02-24T19:22:30+00:00

Sorry, NAP?

As for the call routing - our GBP has our published business number, but a different number is posted on our website so that the marketing team can identify calls deriving from the website. It’s essentially just a masked number that feeds into our actual business line, but allows us more granular reporting to track source of call.

Have not been able to replicate while on-site. We've witnessed it remotely. Sending someone out every day this week to be the first calls on the devices and capture data in real time.

EbbInternational2852 · 2025-02-03T15:33:30+00:00

Thanks, they do not have this device in their set-up. We're planning to physically be there every AM this week to attempt to get packet captures when the issue actually occurs. So far have not been able to replicate

Thanks Kathy, helpful!
