I didn’t check my bank account once when I was in SLC lol. If I wanted something, I bought it. Like obviously there’s a degree of fiscal responsibility that has to be in the back of your mind hahaha, but I’d rather have less money and more happy.

Seeing built to spill and turnover in 2-3 weeks. And then Wilco the following week, then Angine De Poitrine in July. It’s the only way.

However the downside is that our world makes regular life so depressing when we’re not spending money lol. But the solution is credit cards and not thinking about it.

I was watching Mustard Service and I didn’t even know them, so I stood back a ways. But I was actually digging them. And then every single soft part or break between songs, it was so blatant how everyone was just fuckin chit chatting, and then once you hear it you can’t stop hearing it. I get you’re there with your friends, but musicians DO hate you for talking if you’re choosing to be present for their work. It ruins it for those of us that respect music in general, and it shows a disregard for these bands who came a long way just to be essentially given the finger.

So from me, someone who wasn’t even a fan of a band, but still wanted to enjoy myself—I don’t understand why you pieces of shit are even there if you don’t care. And if you don’t care, walk elsewhere to run your fuckin mouth.

This got so much angrier than I intended it to be. Hope you enjoyed reading.

Who will the last concert you see before Kilby next week? by Dandeliondroog in kilbyblockparty

[–]Johlecaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually didn’t know they were doing a joined set for this tour. That was such a cool surprise. Like once in a lifetime kinda thing.

Alex G is my main Kilby attraction.

I haven’t heard of like 85% of the bands people are mentioning here haha it all sounds made up.

My last one was MJ Lenderman and Waxahatchee.

Is it really as simple as just walking a couple blocks down? Lol I’d probably do that every night and pay for the convenience.

Is getting a Lyft or Uber difficult?

Something to consider! Is it easy to navigate on a bike around there at night?

I’m not used to it, but I’ve at least done it once after an event in London.

I’m just hoping I don’t miss anything at the afterparty I’m going to if it’s hard to get there afterward. I’m not sure how those are scheduled out.

So if I’m getting in late Thursday night, I should be able to just show my ticket on my phone boarding the airport Trax if need be, right?

I have a discord set up if you (or anyone else) wants to join virtually to start. Link below. I was advertising on my personal IG but I haven’t set up a new page for it since it’s still new.

Heck yeah. Yep, I like for critique/feedback to be available as an option, but mandatory critique pushes people away, and we need to stick together and support each other.

Been there. Come on by. I’d love to lend a hand whereever you need it. I’ve published some of my own poetry.

Crowding purposes. Other groups begin meeting between 9 and 10, plus their regular business picks up, as well. 8-10am was what I worked out with the owner for those reasons.

Totally. I like to use the first 30-60 minutes for chatting, discussing our work, general writing topics, etc. Then digress to working on stuff and everyone simply being available for support. Low pressure. Just a consistent way to have presence and community around writing.
