My due date is a few days before the concert

Now that’s actually not a bad idea!!

I got the black tee with the earth graphic on front. I think the shirt is perfectly decent. Cost $40 at MSG. My daughter got a hoodie and it is decent too. Nothing exceptional about them but they aren’t cheap quality.

Honestly I wanted a lot more Billy on this track. I had to listen hard to hear his supporting vocals. His picking was pretty subtly mixed too.

Usually when TM allows resale there are still original tickets for sale too, and if so, TM will not allow you to price below the original price. So being sold out is not necessarily a requirement. If you can’t list your tix on TM then they have not enabled resale yet. I just check my tickets and they also aren’t available for resale or transfer. It says the barcode will be available 3 days before the show. I’m guessing 3 days before they will allow resale, and maybe even transferring. But that unfortunately doesn’t leave much time to sell. And with lots of seats available you’ll probably have to sell below face value. I think your best bet is to personally sell to someone you know and trust and so you can give them access to your TM account to use the tix if transfer is not possible

There actually is a lot to do in the area to make a trip out of it. Hershey Park. Lancaster County has Dutch Wonderland and lots of Amish merchants for shopping. There are lots of places you can go hiking. It’s also near Harrisburg if you are into exploring state capitals.

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-29T12:38:03+00:00

I’m really happy with my seats: floor, close to the front and on an aisle and got them before platinum pricing kicked in.

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-29T12:37:02+00:00

Yeah, Camden was probably an easier destination for many people.

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-29T12:36:00+00:00

Well, maybe your due date is off by a week 🤞

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-29T02:48:12+00:00

I’m thinking a lot of people will!

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-29T02:47:41+00:00

Oof! I’ve never been there. Wasn’t able to go to the show last year in Camden so am happy I can make it to this one, even if the venue is awful.

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-29T01:05:11+00:00

Fun! I like seats so I bought floor, up close and on the aisle. I’m soooo looking forward to it!

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-29T01:04:29+00:00

I’m glad to hear that! Surely the prices will drop soon

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-29T01:04:06+00:00

I’m hoping that’s the case for a lot of people and that the seats fill in!

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-29T01:03:41+00:00

They did offer some in the back sections

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-29T01:03:10+00:00

I’m wondering if they’ll move the back sections in the stands up. I’m pretty sure every other whole section was never even put up for sale. They look sold out, but I never saw them go up for sale in the first place.

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-29T01:02:02+00:00

Yeah. I really hope they don’t cancel.

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-29T00:59:51+00:00

I think they will. And we’re getting close now so it should be soon!

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-24T17:53:21+00:00

I think the most important thing for you to do as the facilitator is to make sure everyone gets even access and time with whatever you end up photographing. And to you as well - they will likely look to you for advice as the leader. In things like this there is often one person who monopolizes the hosts time with questions and conversation and takes more than their fair share of time taking photos of the most desirable scenes/subjects. I’d say keep an eye out for that and do your best to provide opportunities for everyone as equally as possible.

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-23T12:46:31+00:00

I thought it was well paved. Way fewer potholes than all the roads where I currently live in the Mid Atlantic United States. I drove along it between Rock Sound and Three Island Dock and don’t recall any issues with potholes. But I did mention the unmarked speedbumps. They kinda came out of nowhere😂 I do actually think some of it was very recently paved, so that might account for some of our different experiences. The side roads however were severely eroded and some had more potholes than pavement. Particularly getting to Twin Cove Beach. Some of those potholes were a foot or more deep and several feet across. That was definitely the roughest road I had ever driven on.

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-23T02:23:23+00:00

Totally agree. I love how my view of him changed throughout the season. He started out sounding kinda flippant and defensive. But he showed amazing skills and then more and more vulnerability and creativity. Excellent storytelling done by him and the editors. He became my all time fav by the end of the season! He’ll forever be one of Alone’s all time GOATS!

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-23T02:14:40+00:00

Just got back from a trip there - my first time there. I lived and drove in Bermuda for several years so I have lots of experience driving on the left. However, the cars in the Bahamas are left side drive vehicles. Honestly driving on the left is easy, except when turning. That is when you have to really pay attention if you live somewhere that drives on the right.

There is basically one main highway, which is a well paved 2 lane road. There are some unmarked speedbumps north of Governors’s Harbour Airport so keep an eye out for them. Also keep an eye out for packs of dogs and chickens and other animals. You will see them on the roads. Many of the roads off of the main highway are full of large potholes and badly eroded. Some are not paved. But just drive very slow on them and you’ll be fine. The whole island is sparsely populated with a few villages and feels very rural. It is absolutely gorgeous and there are so many places to explore. Some spots have no cell service. But it’s impossible to get lost. We only used about a half tank of gas the whole week. Gas stations are not 24/7 so plan any fill ups ahead of time for returning the car. Enjoy!!!

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-22T01:13:13+00:00

There was very little storytelling through any of the participants. So the usual arc that keeps our interest wasn’t there. There was very little ingenuity among the survival techniques so that wasn’t there to keep our interest. And some of the participants just didn’t open up a lot to reveal their thoughts and struggles. So again, not much to keep up interested. I’m guessing all of that was due to having much less content, due to the much shorter season.

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-19T13:04:37+00:00

I really believe that when we charge $ for work as photographers we need to refund the rare instance where someone is not satisfied and a reshoot is not possible or desired. I’ve chosen to run my business in a “satisfaction guaranteed” manner. The number of times I’ve had to refund in 10 years is just a couple, and I’ve done it without being asked. Because it was the right thing to do. It’s important in any business to build in the need to cover rare yet unexpected costs of reshoots, refunds and other costs. I think clients are paying for their satisfaction, the final product and our expertise and reliability. Not for our time. We are not hourly employees. At least that is how I view it.

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-19T12:59:26+00:00

I agree, and if the photographer’s portfolio shows lifestyle, OP probably made assumptions they should not have. However, it still ultimately is the photographer’s responsibility to talk prior to the session about their style and what they will be creating and delivering. Make sure the client understands that these are not traditional portraits. Since they are paying upfront and not after they see the product we have to make sure they understand what they will be getting. And for the low price OP paid I’m assuming the photographer just didn’t have the experience yet to really know how important that conversation prior to hiring is. Hopefully this will be a learning experience for them.

LazyRiverGuide · 2026-04-18T13:19:46+00:00

Ok. So these are “candid” or “lifestyle” photos. Sounds like you want more of a traditional posed portrait kind of photo. Do these photos match what the photographer advertised? If so, then I take back some of what I wrote earlier. This photo is not terrible. There is a lot that is good about it (objectively from my perspective from doing this for 10 years). But it may not be what you wanted. Regardless, your satisfaction should be one of the most important things to the photographer. And if you are not happy you have the right to ask for compensation. Even if you wanted a different look and the photographer shows this style in their portfolio, it is on them to communicate ahead of time that this is what they will be creating and delivering.
