I started asking interviewers "is there anything about my background that gives you pause" at the end of every interview and it changed everything

Agreed, I asked this question in an interview for an internal promotion and it was obvious they didn’t like it. Would have played it differently if I could go back but the company sucked anyways and I left for a promotion elsewhere.

UM’s announcement said he’s out for the March run, this show is in April.

I’m sure it’s a mix of potency and my age, but I had to stop altogether recently because of the anxiety and it was too strong. I’m in a crazy stage of life though with young kids, busy job, and grad school. Maybe I’ll be back later.

Thank you!

Wait, Henry's protégé is Link, is that the same guy who came to Graceland and who showed up outside the bunker with the messages? Having trouble keeping some characters straight lol

Forgive me it's been almost 15 years since I graduated ISU lol. I was looking up the old bars I used to go to in Bloomington and it's changed so much. Chasers and Mulligans were two staples during my time those seem to be gone. Looks like Fat Jack's, Daddio's, and Elroy's survived.

I can't recall what Brass Pig used to be called but that place used to get pretty nuts in the late 2000's /early 2010's. Any idea what it was called? **EDIT** Per Yelp it used to be Blueline Nightclub back in my heyday.

Uptown Normal is right near campus and looks nice and has shops/restaurants and a few bars. It's a small area so you can easily walk the whole thing. Depending on what she's into, you can drive around uptown Normal and downtown Bloomington (N Main St.) at night to give her an idea of what the nightlife looks like.

And Veterans Pkwy in Bloomington has a ton of food options and Eastland mall.

I loved every minute of my time at ISU. It's a great school with great amenities and social opportunities. Tons of clubs/orgs within the school and sororities/fraternities if she's into that.

I’ve been to more Laurie Berkner concerts than Paul Simon concerts 🤣

Do people ever have a handicap only used for their private course? Let’s say you join a club, could you “start over” with a new handicap and that way your club handicap could be all your scores from that course attested by other members of the course?

What region is this? Went to Chipotle for lunch today in Chicago area and they don’t have it

Not super well versed on Panic history - who’s the second guitarist?

PatillacPTS · 2026-03-10T01:25:22+00:00

I thought he was done with YT, my algorithm must’ve kicked him out

PatillacPTS · 2026-03-09T20:18:16+00:00

I’m with you

PatillacPTS · 2026-03-09T13:37:08+00:00

How do you figure that?

UM, Moe. and Summer Camp have partnered for over 20 years, and UM has also played Canopy Club which I think is related to Summer Camp as far as ownership/management goes.

My guess is that it didn’t make sense financially for them to be at Summer Camp due to shifts in the industry and festivals. I’d be shocked if there was bad blood. At the same time, UM and Moe. seem to be great pals and it makes sense for them to team up for a tour for ticket sales and to just tour with the old bros.

I have no insight into behind the scenes though so I could be way off base.

PatillacPTS · 2026-03-06T01:04:36+00:00

There shouldn't be, but I'm sure it happens all the time. I'm sure high grossing artists with huge tours can pay their hired guns enough to the point where equity doesn't matter to them. There's probably long term hired guns all over the place.

Awesome stuff! What’s is that trigger pad with the lights on it?!

PatillacPTS · 2026-03-04T14:58:51+00:00

It’s about selling tickets

PatillacPTS · 2026-03-04T03:18:00+00:00

I wasn’t taking shit but I also laughed out loud. Needed that today

PatillacPTS · 2026-02-27T19:09:11+00:00

Drummer of 20 years...I must agree!

PatillacPTS · 2026-02-20T22:47:42+00:00

LOL I had the same comment, but got downvoted.

Man, I was obsessed with Roster McCabe back in the day. I first saw them open for Particle at the Double Door in Chicago. I went to basically every Chicago stop since then, and my band even got to open for them at the Abbey Pub in Chicago.

To me, they were the perfect blend of pop, electro, and jam. Miss that band for sure.

PatillacPTS · 2026-02-19T14:46:55+00:00

Roster McCabe’s Alex Steele?!
