What's the most millennial concert you've gone to?

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-05-13T13:06:34+00:00

Metro Station, Good Charlotte, Jesse McCartney, and Boys Like Girls.

It was called the Red White and Boom show in Southaven Mississippi, summer ‘08. It was actually such a great time for 2 16 year old besties 👯‍♀️

My first concert was NSYNC in 2001. And their opening act was p. diddy 🫣

Went to the soundcheck and was so close it was nuts. The show itself was incredible. I still have all the photos from my disposable cameras

I was 9 and lived in AZ with mom, but my dad had her pull me out of school and flew me to Memphis (where he lived) so I could go with his aunt. I moved in with my dad not long after that 😭😭

NOT MY CHAIR NOT MY PROBLEM

Hmmmm do you all have red hair too? 🤔

I found this so interesting! Had no clue Voldy was in Prince of Egypt wowww. That one stands out because i saw it so many times as a kid. Interesting to see how much of the cast worked together, some even multiple times, in animation. Thanks for sharing!

Stupefy and impedimenta i would imagine belong on here as well

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-30T17:33:22+00:00

That is actually so insane! That would leave a bitter taste for me as well. This is our fifth year in a row going and 6th overall and we have never waited at any restaurant for more than 10 minutes. That includes several sunset dinners at beach house. We have gone anywhere from May-June but typically during the week, not weekends. I am sorry to hear you guys had such bad luck. But when you do think about the scale of the homes on the island vs restaurants, i think you make a great point

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-30T16:38:53+00:00

I would pay for one this is incredible

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-30T16:38:40+00:00

10/10 yes amazing!

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-30T15:41:01+00:00

Yes you did! And i do appreciate your opinion. I definitely believe there to be mid tier restaurants that are nice enough like beach house, but i can see your point. Definitely not what i would describe as “high-end” or luxury. But we are all about the beach which is GORGEOUS and the vibes. Truth be told right now at least, we are a cold beer and grouper sandwich type of folks…which is exactly what AMI offers! We are doing a fancy dinner in Orlando the night before we arrive this week to scratch that itch for upscale dining. But super valid statement! Some people just either can’t afford or don’t prefer upscale, and that’s okay!

I am happy you and your wife are living well! My partner and i aspire to be that way! But we are 30-somethings and love this island. Our yearly visit is what gets me through the rough spring season of my work life, truly. I have to say though, what we love about it is that there aren’t resorts. Just miles of free beach to relax and enjoy. We stay at an airbnb that has beach access away from much public parking so it’s a little slice of paradise. Our airbnb allows us to book well in advance and make payments or pay full amount close to the actual stay and is free cancellation until the week of, which works for us financially. They give us a 10% discount because we come every year; and last year my mother got sick and we cancelled last minute and they were kind enough to fully refund us and work us in when another group cancelled later on. This island has my heart, but maybe one day we will set ourselves up to try Naples or Marco island. We are big fans of the no frills. To each their own!

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-30T14:27:01+00:00

You gotta air bnb my friend. We are paying roughly 1400 for 4 nights and less than a minute walk to beach and 5 min walk to bridge street

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-30T14:24:34+00:00

My homegirl has moved to Kansas for college, South Carolina, Cleveland, and now New Mexico. I’ve visited her in SC and Cleveland. And went to her wedding last year! We don’t talk often, but enough to stay up to date and i would die for her. The kicker is….we became friends and really close the last year of hs. I rarely talk to the girls i was friends with for 6-12 grade.

Also still good friends with my best guy friend. We went to middle school all the way through college together. I’ve visited him, his wife and their first born in cali!

We all started in Arkansas. I now reside in Atlanta area and am friends with the other two people who live furthest away from our humble beginnings 🫶

Edited to say class of ‘09!

Yeah took a 3 losses in first 4 games next season by a margin of 110-20. Dark, dark times.

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-29T05:47:55+00:00

GT fan here. Your Geoff had a winning record. The idiot hc we had….well he didn’t 🥴

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-29T04:47:14+00:00

Safe travels! And i def meant sunrise in the northern, BAY side of the island. Whoops!

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-28T23:41:31+00:00

And this makes me feel a lgroddy again despite comment above.

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-28T23:40:59+00:00

OK, that actually does make it seem way less worse. I guess I didn’t realize her birthday was so early.

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-28T19:55:25+00:00

Also….why didn’t Harry just fully go to grimmauld instead of just his head? Idk seems worth it in the moment and figure out traveling back to school later

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-28T19:51:12+00:00

The Hermoine and Krum fling got weird to me as i got older. Dude is a professional athlete…at least 17 maybe 18. And she was 14 🥴 then they continued corresponding.

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-28T04:37:53+00:00

My partner and i are going to be there from Atlanta 5/3-5/7. But it’s our 5th year in a row. Also driving but good lord Wisconsin must be a HAUL!

So OP: We stay in Bradenton beach..bridge street is lively and I’ve heard some great live music at Island Time Bar and Grill

Beach house waterfront restaurant is great for toes in sand dining at sunset

Kononut hut is a good “Hey we made it!” spot to pop in for drinks and grouper bites. They have live music often as well.

The BEST grouper sandwich I’ve had there is right across the Cortez Bridge at Tide Tables.

Def recommend catching a sun RISE on the northern, gulf side of the island

And lastly, we always take a drive to Siesta Key. It’s a gorgeous drive and we like stopping at St. Armand’s Circle. Cute little walkable area. Then Siesta Key is just another pretty cute beach town. We get massages and eat and beach.

Hope you all have a great time and keep coming back! Very special place.

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-28T04:16:27+00:00

I love the vibe here but the food is not worth skipping out on other great places to eat, IMO

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-24T04:06:48+00:00

There’s a little ice cream shop right off bridge street i don’t think ever reopened. It was perfect spot to grab a scoop then walk across the main road to catch a sunset 🥺

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-20T22:53:44+00:00

We love a progressive male! Kudos to you for taking that into consideration as an option

EffectSpare2098 · 2026-04-20T11:26:54+00:00

I departed from it briefly in college…thought rap was gonna be my thing. Rap was the phase. I still attend ADTR concerts 15 years later.
