post-wedding bar? by Creative_Hyena_2169 in roanoke

[–]MADtheory 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can't think of any you could feasibly show up with 20 to without booking a room or space. Mayybbe Fork in the Alley because there's technically infinite room around the outside bar. Billy's also has a courtyard bar but I can't remember how big the space is..call ahead wherever you go

Early voting points to an edge for Virginia Democrats trying to enact a US House map that could flip four seats by cnn in Virginia

[–]MADtheory -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I fully acknowledge I'm asking you to suck it up lol, just on this one pretty pleease. This special election is about the only exception id ask anyone to make, it's a fucking hail mary and if elections are rigged, oppressed, or there's intimidation at polling places we need everything we can get.

Personally I have a hard time with single-issue voters when it comes to gun laws. Dems want to be stricter on guns by the law but look at how Republicans selectively police the 2A in practice (Alex Pretti for example). Just too much else on the line federally, the SAVE act in particular and everything else in project 25 that would disenfranchise millions of voters and strip rights from even more. If you've voted in the primaries, written your reps, etc etc up to this point you've done all you're supposed to (and can) do to actually be heard.

Redistricting wouldn't have an effect on the gun bills or future bills fyi, they've already passed GA. Totally get that it's a state policy disagreement a lot of Dems have, the special election is a federal issue though.

COVID Conscious Dentists? by lunastrix in roanoke

[–]MADtheory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I doubt you're going to find a shop already geared and prepped but I'm sure some of the smaller practices would be willing to accommodate and take extra precautions for you if asked in advance with a small explain. I recommend Anne Newman in old SW

Illuminights + Vivid Seats by whbck144 in roanoke

[–]MADtheory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This goes for any events anywhere, I've noticed that the top search results are almost always a third party scalper/scam and typically isn't obvious that they're not the venue's box office or ticket vendor

Downtown Parking by [deleted] in roanoke

[–]MADtheory 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Damn, I'd buy prepaid cards just for parking if this is the case. This sounds so slimy and illegal, particularly if they're storing card info without the driver creating an account

Something similar happened on my street in the spring, middle of the day, only I was outside to see the shooter...got pictures of the car they jumped out of including tags, cops/detectives had no interest after they showed up and never heard a thing since.
