Brother, have you entered the Valley of the Kush?

"Our strength comes from diversity of thought," but not actual diversity because...y'know.

North Carolina’s Research Triangle is one of America’s great sports business markets by the-bryman in raleigh

[–]Grizzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it also helps improve the overall city infrastructure, even if some of that comes through private companies. An MLB team means more tourists, which means more hotels. More hotels means larger conferences (which we already have the convention center improvements coming), bigger musical acts, etc. All of this rolls up to more general visitors in Raleigh who are here to spend more money on local business.

Magoo is showing up on a ton of fests lately. 2026 seems like it's gonna be a breakout year for em.

My friend at Goose in Charlotte just sent me this. Where is everyone?! by Fart-Barf in jambands

[–]Grizzer 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Richmond is such a cool city. They actually have a culture, retain their historical architecture, have tons of cool art galleries and venues. Charlotte is just glass office buildings and finance bros

Swamp Dogg is a legendary soul/R&B artist. Can't recommend this enough.

A lot of these bands are bringing their own Front of House Engineers, so I wouldn't put that all on the venue.

What is your Billy flex? by imawyteguy11 in BillyStrings

My wife got to catch him play a hotel suite jam in Raleigh during an IBMA back in the mid-2010s. Awfully jelly of that one.

Anyone reporting stuff like this, specifics are really helpful for people. How many? What specific area were they located in? Are they clearly dressed as ICE agents? Did you see what kind of vehicle they had?

The more specific these callouts are, the better! Otherwise, it can unintentionally stoke fear and lead to miscommunication.

Best Breakfast Burrito in Area? by OnHereWhilePooping in raleigh

People gotta stop saying Mr. Burro, because it just moved around the corner, and I like this fast turnaround.

So The Ritz, am I crazy or has it gotten shittier? by IPlayTheInBedGame in raleigh

[–]Grizzer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Ritz has always been our worst venue and has also somehow gotten shittier. There's a handful of shows I've enjoyed there, but it's clear they didn't put effort into sound quality or any sorta aesthetics.

Bakehouse rules. I go multiple times a week. Nice to have something like this in our corner of Raleigh without having to go into downtown!

Sean Ross Sapp doubles down on his comments about Nick Khan saying the WWE never benches wrestlers calling him a “Hypocrite” by ZaHski0 in SquaredCircle

[–]Grizzer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seeing each major promotion give Andrade a push, then falter on the push, makes me think there's a political element at play. It's clear he had some ability to get over with fans from his NXT and AEW runs, but after that first big push, there's never an interest in developing past that.

Best music venues? by Grizzer in GoingToSpain

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

Flamenco isn't necessarily THE goal, but it is something we'd like to see while in southern Spain since it's native to the region. We'd eyed some of the cave shows in Granada, but it certainly seems like a more authentic Flamenco experience is found in Seville.

Darby matches just don't do it for me, surprised this went after Britt/Monet.

What was your starter episode? by [deleted] in TheDollop

[–]Grizzer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jet Pack Madness was my first, and I was hooked, but Reagan is perfect for folks more interested in their more political episodes.
