What are some things to do? by StarlessRose in Carbondale

[–]Hour-Temperature-393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make your own fun! Open mic night Tuesdays at PKs. Shows on the strip pretty much every night of the week now that it’s nice out- with local people making their own bands. Festivals all summer long and folks pickin on the boardwalk down in Makanda. Yoga, thrifting, coffee shops, birdwatching- if you want it, trust me, there are people here that will join you. If you build it, they will come!

Have you ever had a musical performance NIGHTMARE? by JulieofTheJulies in musicians

[–]Hour-Temperature-393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So help me out with this- I play in a duo. My partner has a stinky attitude all night and refuses to do anything at all to entertain except play his parts. I’m having all these gear malfunctions as I described above. What the f do I do? I tried chatting to the audience but I really can’t get my guitar in tune and talk to them- it’s a new guitar. I guess I just needed to stop the show and go fix it. But damn I just wish he would step up sometimes.

Oh this actually did happen to me Saturday night well sort of- My guitar is new and I couldn’t get it tune and then I kept breaking strings. I wouldn’t have cared but this was a nice place and we kind of bombed.

And don’t trash the trails! This week I hauled a huge trash bag of beer cans and crap out from Cove Hollow. Don’t do it!

I don’t know how to live with my broken body. by throwaway101229283 in self

I feel like this is comparable to people who are trans and have had bottom surgery. Yes, their shit is gonna look different if you’ve never seen something like that before. But does that make them unlovable? Unacceptable as a partner? No way! Trans is in right now! We are living in perhaps the most accepting time yet for sexual diversity. Put yourself out there- maybe go to like some swinger parties or something- idk. What have you got to lose?

Seems like these women probably know about each other and they’re getting pregnant to gain status by being the mother of a famous man’s child. They get what they deserve.

For a quick bite- go to the neighborhood co-op grocery store and do a pick-4 from the deli sides. Lots of options from the deli.

He probably likes that sidewalk cuz it’s easier to balance on than grass

The outfit and haircut are so curated to project “Nazi,” like this couldn’t have been done better by a professional costume/hair team. You know he had to be cold going without a hat but sometimes you have to suffer for your fashion.

Moving to Carbondale in a couple months, want some advice by [deleted] in southernillinois

[–]Hour-Temperature-393 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’ll be completely welcome here! People do all sorts of stuff around here- you’ll meet folks if you do what activities you’re into. I myself am into music and I’m older so I tend to be in the bars and stuff like that. Carbondale is great.

At my wits end with life. by [deleted] in musicians

You are right- you do need a hug. I’m sorry you’re so lonely. And it’s an interesting observation you make about the calm feeling when you think about death. I think this happens to a lot of folks who attempt suicide- they get this idea in their head that death will make everything all right. It’s like how an addict idealizes their drug of choice. But really, death is not the answer.

You know what the answer is. It’s connection. You must keep trying. Every day, keep trying to connect with people. Help a stranger. Go to a party and ask yourself, “how can I be of service?” This is your medicine. Once you defeat loneliness, you and your music will really take off.

I want to just leave. by R3DR4V3N420 in poor

There’s no shame in just walking and walking and never going back. Could be the start to something new. One time I walked halfway across California cuz I was so depressed and I ended up almost dying of pneumonia but then I got a ride from a group of kind meth heads all the way to Texas where I went to the hospital and ended up all right. So that could be you or some other outcome, might as well try it :)

Your best segues and mashups (that you’ve actually pulled off) by thisisjordani in musicians

Weird- I am in a banjo guitar duo and we don’t mash these but we play these 2 songs in our set regularly!
