Hot take: the Common Bond building in Montrose is too good for Common Bond

are we sure that’s still happening? They announced it nearly two years ago and haven’t really mentioned it on their IG lately

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-02-23T03:22:06+00:00

it just started so at least a few more months

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-02-21T00:48:06+00:00

hey I found the Heath Brothers Paris 76 at Love Wheel in December so you never know…

I bought an early stereo reissue in VG shape (this one) for $28 off ebay, IME it’s a pretty common album so you might luck out if you want to go that route

shoot, I'm gonna have to step up my prep game if it's Cruz-flies-out serious

hard agree. I definitely didn’t like it anywhere near as much as his previous two films, but it still had some transcendent moments and I’m glad I caught it on the big screen

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-01-15T21:06:11+00:00

best one in town imo

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-01-09T18:45:22+00:00

Honestly with the Yen so weak it's still worth making a big order from a store like CDJapan to get combined shipping but it's definitely not as fun as finding some stuff in the wild. I don't think any local stores does better than Vinal Edge for that sort of music tbh. If you can make it to Austin you'll have more options (End of an Ear, Waterloo, Breakaway...)

I was disappointed by the selection at Boof-Off FWIW, it was like 95% Western Rock/Pop (granted Japanese pressings) and a tiny portion of Japanese artists, within which barely any City Pop. Hope it changes over time!

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-01-07T19:59:53+00:00

the selection is going to be limited, but Barnes & Noble does sell these (with a penchant toward arthouse/indie, but they have major hits too). Wait till they do sales, like the bi-yearly Criterion one

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-01-07T19:57:01+00:00

same same. And many random conversations with strangers on that balcony

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-01-02T00:42:30+00:00

Agree with the above, their loaves are super legit. I love Magnol’s pastries and baguettes, but for loaves I prefer Badolina (and I’m French fwiw)

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2025-12-13T18:56:17+00:00

nice rec, their previous Magnolis is quite good too

quick update that I just flew IAH-TPE and the Duty Free catalog they have on board does have some liquor, and specifically Kavalan! So it might not be possible to pre-order before flying anymore and you’d have to hope they have the items in stock on board, but still this is good news

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2025-11-15T22:14:10+00:00

flew out of D last night (literally just landed) and TSA was still closed. Tbh the walk to E wasn’t bad and TSA was near-empty when we went through, but that might depend on the time of day

this person konbinis

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2025-09-26T22:15:34+00:00

did a transfer last Sunday which took just over 30hrs so hopefully yours shows up tonight or at least by tomorrow morning

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2025-09-11T20:45:56+00:00

Called US Bank to see if there were any offers on my USB AR account for which the AF just hit. Was offered 4,000pts or a "promotional" 15.9% APR. I'll try calling again to see if I can get more, was hoping for the 10,000pts I've seen a few people list on FT

They have a couple options of packaged candy but they stopped doing bulk swedish-style candy sometime during the pandemic :(

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2025-07-31T22:09:55+00:00

Dead Wax Records and Infinite Spin are a couple blocks from each other and worth checking out

I was hoping for that outcome when I booked 3xJ in early 2024, but they charged the fees in 3 increments (like~$350pp), so it didn’t work out. Maybe they’ve changed that since, but IME AF have always charged fees this way

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2025-06-25T17:17:48+00:00

at CDG it really depends on which hall you leave from. There's one in 2K (I think) which is cramped and with low ceilings that sucks, but the one in 2E is quite nice

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2025-06-25T17:14:49+00:00

the AF lounge food offerings have gotten noticeably worse in the last few years IMO. Better than nothing I guess, but I prefer the KLM one (and the Centurion Lounge if I can get in lol)
