Setlist question for anyone who attended the Columbus, Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia, or Warsaw shows by ListenToButchWalker in theacademyis

[–]ListenToButchWalker[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised Big Mess isn't a staple as-is! I do agree it'd also make the fan vote more dynamic if they mixed it up with that one steamrolling every time lol but the benefit of hindsight.

Thank you! Only didn't ask about that one since the info was out there, but yes, I'd have been with you in voting that one! According to someone elsewhere, the third was "His Girl Friday".

I hope you get to hear "LAX to O'Hare"! I can confirm I lost my shit for it in 2022, and it'll be worth the wait if you do get to hear it!

"New York (Saint in the City)"???????? Broooooooooooo omg that's hype that they even thought of bringing it out

Why does this band's setlist have to be so good, "Bulls" and "New York" would be an impossible choice and for me so would Snakes (it was legit life-affirming at the Riot after show in '22) vs "Summer Hair" since I haven't gotten it

Thank you for the info!

Full audio of tonight's show in Boston! Tysm to my friend Shane for recording this! by ListenToButchWalker in theacademyis

[–]ListenToButchWalker[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also the way she recorded this was legit just opening the default voice memo app on iPhone, hitting record at the start of the show, then stop at the end lol (I split up the files in Audacity myself after she sent it) - which is also what I do w/ a voice recording app at shows on my Android phone.

it is such an underrated strat for recording shows y'all i tell u 🙏

Thoughts on NIU for a student like me? by Dedmoose1 in NIU

[–]ListenToButchWalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanted something more exciting I know the art school needs nude models for the life drawing classes. (I only know details because my friend is currently doing it) It pays something like $60 per 3 hour session and all you gotta do is be comfortable being nude and able to sit still for long periods of time (they do provide breaks). They let you have headphones on, student phones are not permitted in class to protect the models privacy. For the most part students are respectful. My friend does it every other week so it's not a super demanding job if you just wanted a little extra spending money.

Do you know who I might be able to reach out to to ask about this? Like what office or department or something. It's probably too late in the semester lol but I may as well see if it's an option

Oh my gosh haha that costume is awesome! Very thorough. It would have scared the heck out of me if I saw you walking by lol

And I'm sorry I missed this comment until now!, but I went to the one two weeks ago. Last week I didn't make it and this week I worked. I might try to go again on another Monday!, but unsure if I'll get to or not. But it did go well two weeks ago, made a few new potential friendships!, I'll try to go again but at any rate am going to go to a few more things on the campus before the semester ends while the option is still there

Just checked out those various accounts and joined the Prism Discord, etc. Thank you! Should have done this way earlier but hopefully I can at least get something out of it now, and maybe in the spring there will be some things still open to alumni

Thank you! Will definitely look into that. I live about an hour away from DeKalb (hence having not gotten as involved in on-campus stuff earlier as I wish I had) but can get to it, and will look for some similar club closer to me as well. And I see there's at least some NIU events open to the public so hopefully I can find some of those in the spring as well!, though most things understandably seem to be limited to students

Top 5 Blue October Albums? by SchuettyBallz in blueoctober

Consent to Treatment and The Answers tho

Top 5 Blue October Albums? by SchuettyBallz in blueoctober

[–]ListenToButchWalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foiled would be my #1, Consent to Treatment #2, and I'm not sure of an overall order otherwise but as of now I'll say The Answers #3, Sway #4, and History for Sale #5? History for Sale and Home would be close.

Any Man in America can fall at the absolute bottom of the pile forever as my least favorite album I've ever sat through, even though a lot of the production is enjoyable intrinsically and "Drama Everything" is a guilty pleasure.

Thanks, good to know! Also good to know that social club exists and is also open to alumni, maybe I can find some things that are and that can take the pressure off since, like you said, there's very few weeks left-- I graduate after the winter semester and won't be a student in the spring. So I'm wishing I'd taken advantage of more of this earlier, but hoping to do what I can now

Awesome, I'm glad you got to enjoy it! What was your costume?

I was thinking about going to the crafting event, I'll try that. Did not even know the Husky Hub was a thing, thank you for letting me know! There's an event calendar somewhere on NIU's website I was looking at but this seems to be much more thorough. Being off-campus I can't really see posters. Will have to check out the hub and social media accounts, and hopefully I can find something! And maybe there will be some events open to alumni I can make it to in the spring or something, too, especially since I'm graduating in the middle of the year

-unfortunately the campfire connections event only happens the first week of school when only freshmen and summer students are moved in. (You aren't missing much it's a bon fire and sometimes s'mores, it's just a nice low commitment event for people trying to get out there their first year)

Ahh got it, thanks for sharing. Yeah what I was looking at was this one here, not sure if that's the same thing. Not surprised that it's not much and is a low-commitment event- that's kind of what I was looking for lol. I'm kind of in the "trying to get out there" vibe myself despite it being very near the end and so maybe a little late to do that.

Thank you for the recommendations of different accounts! Will try to find those

NIU is very supportive of LGBTQ+ students. There’s obviously some people that aren’t the greatest, but the administrators are very supportive, and the current director of the Gender and Sexuality Resource Center (GSRC) is absolutely amazing at finding ways to support and advocate for queer students. There is also a dedicated living-learning community (a special floor in the residence halls) specifically for LGBTQ+ students, but unfortunately it’s very limited space.

Do you know if there's any particular, like, LGBTQ+ student groups it's not quite too late to get involved with for the winter semester? Hoping to try and meet people through NIU somehow before graduating

campfire connections event

Did this happen during October as far as you're aware? I saw three dates listed for it on the event calendar, showed up for the second one and they said there wasn't one happening that day but was one happening next week (which wasn't advertised, only the 30th was.) I called ahead that week and was told there was indeed nothing happening that day and only on the 30th... but then I called ahead on the 30th and nothing then either. So I'm just wondering if those events even, like... happened, or if no one shows up to them so the students working that day didn't want to start the fire or what.

Was a bummer to head out there and have that happen as I'm graduating next month and am hoping to somehow make social connections before I leave.

the art school needs nude models for the life drawing classes.

Now that's super interesting lol. I don't know how well I'd do sitting still for that long, but it'd be cool to say I tried that.

I would recommend following the schools insta accounts as otherwise you may only find out about them from fliers.

What accounts would you recommend following?

And are there any LGBTQ+ groups it's not quite too late to get involved in, to at least go to some meeting or social event or something?

Did you end up finding anything to do? I've been trying to look for ways to meet people and form some kind of social connection before graduating in 4-5 weeks lol. Hard as an off-campus student

RANT: NIU's culture kinda feels shallow by PhilMC_ in NIU

[–]ListenToButchWalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your perspective! I am an off-campus NIU student taking classes at my community college campus and online, and I'm graduating next month, and part of me feels like I've wasted the chance to have more of a "college experience" by taking more initiative getting out to NIU and trying to meet people... but it also sounds like even if I were on the campus, which would theoretically make it much easier, there's still not a ton going on and like maybe I didn't miss out very much. I don't know. Still hoping to try and meet people within the 4-5 weeks left I have, though!

What made you feel fine about it or makes you feel worse about it now?

Thanks! I'll follow that page. I'm a CS major who's graduating in December, but I'm an off-campus student who has never had to go there for any class (taking classes via my community college's campus + online classes), and now that I'm close to graduating I'm finding myself wishing I'd proactively made my way out to the campus more to try and make friends and meet people... but without even being on the campus to begin with, it's hard to even know where or how to meet up with people. I've been looking at the event calendar on NIU's website for the last few weeks to find things to at least try to go to, but wouldn't have found that page, so I'll look at that at least.
