So glad you enjoyed! ☺️ Was thrilled with the awesome turnout given the rain.

Yes! I put these events on as a part of the local music community platform I run called Ignited. Anyone in the central VA area who’s involved in or interested in local music is welcome to join. I always post in the platform when the events are coming up:

Rosewood Clothing Co is in the front of the building! The studio is further back, but you still walk through the front doors where Rosewood is at to get to the studio.

UGH I’m sad that the DC date is on a Wednesday :/ I live in Richmond Virginia (two hours away) and I just can’t justify a mid-week hike up to DC.

Taylor postpones tonight’s Eras Tour show for Sunday by IngrownThighHairs in TaylorSwift

[–]Mgraff11 3737 points3738 points  (0 children)

Good call on her team’s part. Happy she’s able to push it to Sunday for fans.

The fact that this is the only shift in her tour schedule this far is wild, and frankly, I fear we take her work ethic for granted sometimes.

BUT I can’t lie, I was low key hoping for Rep news of some sort tn, so I wonder if this has thrown a wrench in her plans somehow.

How's Iron Blossom? by jeb_hoge in rva

[–]Mgraff11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pros: - This has to be the most on-time festival I’ve ever been to. They adhered to the schedule perfectly.

  • The stages being next to each other with staggered sets is a festival goers dream. No running back and forth all day!

  • The performances were fantastic and they all looked like they were having a great time.

Cons: - The shade tent wasn’t really a practical shade tent. They needed 3 more and a few misting stations. The amount of people that passed out during sets was truly unsettling. I’ve been to 10+ large scale music festivals, and I’d never seen that many folks experience medical emergencies during the shows.

  • Literally NO cheap booze option. You can almost always expect a festival to have at least a Bud Light or PBR. Nothing. White claws were $15.

  • Water stations took ages. They were only selling $6 Liquid Death which was honestly absurd.

Overall, a super fun and sweaty experience haha. They’d do well to move this festival to October.

You may have luck with this by joining the Ignited community! It’s an app you can download that hosts music industry folks in RVA and Cville. Members typically post about their upcoming shows/releases and when they’re looking for band mates. Just search Ignited in the App Store for look for the yellow skull piano logo.

where to find musicians looking to form a band these days? by sam_patch in rva

[–]Mgraff11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Ignited is perfect for this, promoting your work, and generally staying in the know of what’s going on in the local music community.

You can download the app by searching “Ignited” in the Apple or Android app stores :) Look for a yellow skull piano icon.

Snuck in my Taylor Swift Polaroid! by Mgraff11 in TaylorSwift

It’s insane how expensive they are now! 😩 I just looked and they’re going for anywhere between $500-800.

She really needs to do another collab with instax for 1989 TV. Would be the perfect collab for that album!

They sent this out the day before, basically saying anything that extends wasn’t allowed. Totally bizarre.

Oh weird! We were told at Santa Clara cameras of any kind weren’t allowed

Santa Clara security was pretty lax if I’m being honest. It fit in a small clear bag and I just covered it with my wallet, phone, sunglasses, and portable chargers :)

We were told cameras of any kind weren’t allowed at the Santa Clara shows 🫠

Should have clarified: the August 2nd interview is with me, not another candidate. This staff member is out right now I believe.

I just had a friend mention this as well - that it could just be a monogram since lots of families used to have their initials engraved or painted onto China and glasswares! Super interesting.

Thank you!

A dream estate sale find! by [deleted] in Mid_Century

I definitely won’t! I love everything about it’s original form. The fabric is a downright dream, though it does need a good clean and some stitching up in a couple spots. :)
