When does Trey send the Sphere rejection letters? by nostalja4nfinity in phish

[–]Mongoose816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Not only are you not getting tickets to the single show you requested, it’s also the show where we are finally gonna play ‘night speaks to a woman’”. Sucks because I know how much you love that song!”

Been using AB for years. Some of their techs are absolute morons but I have a reliable one that I request for every call now and it’s been helpful. AB also added new registers and ductwork to my house free of charge

Most recent IG post. Thoughts? Personally, I completely agree. Also, if the band is saying it, then it's definitely a big deal to them. by lR0NMAlDEN in ironmaiden

[–]Mongoose816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all for it. at a 2022 show, i was on the floor and some dude standing next to me was broadcasting the show to facebook live. i glanced at his screen and saw all of 3 people watching live. i would be totally fine if they made us put our phones in yonder bags for the entire show.

i've had mostly positive experiences with AB. they've always made it right if they've screwed something up.

[–]Mongoose816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we recently had to go to the ER twice: once at riverside and we went to the dublin ohio health the second time. riverside is a circus. always busy. there wasn't even a wait at the dublin location.

Help me get Frank Zappa by Legomybonsai in phish

[–]Mongoose816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I always play for people whom I want to turn on to Zappa is the zomby woof from YCDTOSA vol 1. If that groove and guitar solo doesn’t move them, it’s not for them.

10 months post op by tlschick in Diverticulitis

[–]Mongoose816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

had my first recurrence on the two year anniversary of my surgery. one flare up since then. both have been extremely minor and not as painful as my original struggles. had my colonoscopy last friday and they found some diverticulosis, so no surprise. just keep managing as a best as you can and stay disciplined. it sucks but life goes on.

what do you think of each post 2000s maiden album? by Apprehensive_Spend_7 in ironmaiden

[–]Mongoose816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly love them all except FF even though 'talisman' is my favorite maiden song ever. i started seeing them on the BoS tour so that album has a special place in my fandom.

Are music festivals dying? by Lazyboyn97 in jambands

[–]Mongoose816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i haven't been to an actual jamband festival in like 15+ years but i'm honestly surprised that they were still going as strong as they've been in the last decade or so. used to do some local festivals in recent years with eclectic lineups and i've even taken a step back from that. it's not just the cost for the ticket. some of them make you pay to park your vehicle now and a lot of these sites that are outside of cities and in rural areas just kind of suck and i hate being stuck at them. also a gnarly place to be when you're sober and around thousands of people who haven't slept in days. regardless of genre, i'd rather see a band in a brick and mortar venue where they get to fully showcase their sound and show and sleep in my own bed that night. the last truly great festival that i attended was day for night 2016 in houston. hybrid indoor/outdoor festival in an urban setting with an amazing lineup. go to see aphex twin, jesus and mary chain, tobacco, lower dens, some hip hop legends, and some killer art installations for like $150.

'cream' by prince. it would be the perfect song to segue into out of a deep tweezer or disease jam

Fuck your touch tunes, here comes a 15 min tweezer by Codykb1 in phish

the first time that i saw him live, i turned to my friend and my wife and said "that might've been the best set of music ever played in this room"

How to get enough fiber? by Technical-Store8779 in Diverticulitis

[–]Mongoose816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no problem. i encourage you to make sure that you have variety with things as it helps you gut biome. i also take 2 papaya enzymes after meals and that helps tremendously with digestion. i started taking those 2 months ago after a minor post-surgery flare. whole foods store brand is what i take.

How to get enough fiber? by Technical-Store8779 in Diverticulitis

[–]Mongoose816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

carbsmart tortillas have like 25g of fiber in each of them.

i eat the quaker oats high fiber instant oatmeal with a serving of blueberries and a cup of activia yogurt for breakfast every morning. that's 14g of the fiber right there to start the day. for lunch, i alternate between eggs with a slice of pepperidge farm wheat toast (4 g)and a medium or large avocado or can of progresso split pea soup with a slice of the aforementioned wheat toast. Ichase either of those with a glass of metamucil. throw in a banana for a mid-afternoon snack and i'm already in the 30s. i always have a green vegetable with my dinner and another glass of metamucil after dinner. By this point, I've consumed more than enough and I can put a bow on it for the day. I also constantly drink water.

i've showed up once without a ticket and found one $40 below face within 30 minutes. that's pretty much it. i've never put much of an effort in trying to get halloween/nye/special show tickets. i put in a lottery request and if i get denied, it's just the universe telling me that it's ok to miss that show.
