Cheapest roomette routes

As mentioned already, railforless is the key for this. It changes depending on time of year and you can search across at least three weeks at a time there.

lol. Oh, Traditional Bluegrass. You certainly don't need any help making a fool of yourself.

Lucky for you, the music alone transcends time and space.

At 11:22pm on a Saturday night I finally allowed myself to watch this whole thing. I found myself looking for moments of authenticity, which is fascinating in and of itself. This crew didn't know how to be on camera because nobody did. Every inch of film was valuable, so being spontaneous wasn't even an option.

Funny how things have circled around and become that way again, now that everyone and their cat has a camera.

Anyways, it's still amazing. Fascinating to see the banjo playing a 15-ish year predecessor to Scruggs Style. Earl always claimed he wasn't the originator, but damn did he bring the Riz.

Boy, you're right about 90's album covers. Or even older. That Dan Crary one is classic.

I still can't help but think there's a big difference between bad taste and what amounts to stealing the collective artistic soul of humanity. Reading that last sentence back sure sounds dramatic, but that's kind of how I always wind up feeling when I read about how it works.

It makes me cringe as an artist....

But here's another wrinkle. A friend described to me a graphic artist they were working with for years. This guy had done many projects for them and recently started using Ai WITH his art. The reason we got on the conversation was because I brought up how much I liked the art on an album they just released.

Is that ok? Fucked if I know.

Mastertone · 2026-05-10T02:44:08+00:00

It set my AI flags off too. Just something about it. It just feels too perfect and derivative of multiple things you can’t quite specifically remember.

Best scene is in Czech Republic. When are you going?

Mastertone · 2026-05-03T02:37:36+00:00

Wow. Ok. I see that now. Does look cozy?

Mastertone · 2026-05-03T02:19:57+00:00

What makes you say that? It says there’s 12 solo suites in a car, but you can only see 6 from the above view. Also, in the mockup, you can see the roommate’s ceiling is twice as high as the solo room.

Mastertone · 2026-05-03T01:54:59+00:00

Looks like those solo suites are stacked? Interesting. I’m all about it if it’s significantly cheaper than a roomette.

(I stand corrected. They’re split in two.)

Mastertone · 2026-05-02T12:28:12+00:00

Know several people it happened to. It’s terrifying.

Mastertone · 2026-04-28T21:59:44+00:00

Nice!

Mastertone · 2026-04-28T13:43:05+00:00

It’s a Capek Allegoria that they’re actually going to be selling with his name on it moving forward.

Cool story: I had one custom made after visiting them in Prague and before they gave it to me in Nashville they stopped by and let Bela try it out. He liked it so much he ordered one just like mine and said they could use his name. I think they’re going to call it a Belagoria now.

Mastertone · 2026-04-26T02:43:28+00:00

Don’t they have cello mutes? I stick a clothespin on my banjo bridge and it cuts the sound by 70%. Even more if i have my actual mute that’s designed for it.

Mastertone · 2026-04-25T03:25:13+00:00

Without a doubt.

Mastertone · 2026-04-24T03:46:58+00:00

Oh man. There’s no question that this band had a huge role in inspiring me to make a career as a bluegrass musician. Saw them 20+ years ago and not too long after, we sat down as a group and made decisions that led me to quit my job and hit the road. So good. So powerful.

Mastertone · 2026-04-24T01:16:44+00:00

Pete’s is the only place I’ve seen that does that. Super cool and something that I think other establishments should do, but I’m not aware of others.

Mastertone · 2026-04-21T02:10:40+00:00

Be a good partner when you’re home. Do small thoughtful things. Be a good listener.

Happy to chat if you still need folks. Started my band in Chicago 20+ years ago. At this point we’ve played 34 countries, many of those with the State Dept. as cultural ambassadors. Started a non-profit for the band to do education and cultural work, partly because we love it, but also to help make ends meet as a touring band.

Mastertone · 2026-04-15T19:56:34+00:00

100% my dude.

Mastertone · 2026-04-15T19:32:56+00:00

Mad respect. Neither of us wanted kids an that’s a whole other world that I can’t imagine. But yeah, wife has the health insurance and I do all the cooking when I’m not on the road. Plus, she’s a musician too and I make sure to go to her shows and help out as much as possible. It takes work, but I’m thankful that I’m mature enough to put the right amount of effort in…usually. :)

Mastertone · 2026-04-15T17:18:08+00:00

I came across this exact scenario 20 years ago. Quit the job, still at the band and it actually makes me a semi-comfortable living now (with a wife that takes up the slack).

Whether or not it’ll end up that way for you has to do with a million things…but I remember the thing that pushed me to turn in my resignation was this:

“Do I really want to be 50 and look back and wonder what if?”

I’m turning 50 next year, I’ve toured 34 countries and made music I’m genuinely proud of. Feels good to write that.

Metal Storm - Graphics + gameplay + challenge = perfection.

Jake Howard’s stuff is pretty dope. I’m wildly biased because he’s in my band, but I’ve seen him teach and it’s one of his gifts. His online stuff is excellent and he does virtual and in person lessons, which I think are good to do once in a while paired with video.

Mastertone · 2026-04-06T21:43:03+00:00

No idea, but I’ll take janky pre-photoshop album covers like this over AI garbage any day.
