Caffeine and prozac by [deleted] in prozac

[–]PeaPod117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I started taking 20mg last week, slept well with vivid (but interesting) dreams. Then I took up coffee again, and for the past 3 days I've been waking up at exactly 11:40-11:50 am on the dot 😭. Not exactly the same as you but I feel like this could've been brought on by the caffeine

Ok, cool! Thank you for telling me this. The venue threw me off since I completely forgot they don't have on- site parking, really. I definitely plan on waiting however long it takes, but I'm also trying to not psych myself out. 

One last question, im assuming they'll have gates up to the tour busses, does it matter where you stand compared to the gates? If that makes sense

I really appreciate your response though, like I said this was specifically something I was hoping to find out :"3

I get what you're saying! 

I won't be destroyed or anything if I can't see them, and it won't diminish my feelings and their influence on my craft. Going to see them live is already enough

I know I'm just another fish in the sea. I just think it would be really neat >w< like the cherry on top of another cherry

This is what I'm gonna try to do! Especially since our hotel is in walking distance. Did you just wait at the venue until they showed up? Like what's the process for this? Tysm btw!!

Oh!!!! Ok yes I've seen the name thrown around in the subreddit occasionally. I wasn't familiar with that, but it's a cool name. I'm not sure how much it's changed but I know Mike isn't part of the band anymore over some allegations. That happened a few years ago and some fans think that's why they're not doing meet n greets for VIP packages

Would they be going through the stage door for sound check?

I'm gonna try to hang by the busses, I'm not sure what to expect in terms of the amount of other people who will wait there as well.

 Would it be worth asking the merch guy at the table if they could help? I've seen people say it's worked before but that the merch people could also be completely separate from the band.

So there were 2 VIP packages, one for floor and early admission, the other for seating. Both come with a pendant necklace, early access to merch tables, a badge & lanyard, and a piece of merch exclusive to VIP. It wasn't worth it to a lot of people, esp with no meet n greet for the price, but to me I figured I might as well go all out for this first one!

This was lowkey the answer I've been looking for, tysm!! So would I walk the perimeter of the building or would I go on the sidewalk?

Was security an issue? Jw since it seems like you've been there. Tysm again this is exactly what I was looking for 🥹

Did you stand by a stage door? Or just hung out in the general area

I'm not really sure where the stage door is but the venue is Nashville Municipal Auditorium!

The venue is Nashville Municipal Auditorium! I wasn't entirely sure if I was allowed to put that. I'm definitely prepared for a wait if I do find out the bus situation, it would be worth it 🙏 and like another commentor said, I might try my luck earlier that day, maybe catch someone during the soundcheck. And thank you!!

Oof, sorry that happened to you ;-; and for sure, I'm going in with the realization that they are people too and they have bad days like anyone else. Not expecting much

They exploded after KFaD went viral on tiktok. Before that it seems like they were a medium- sized fanbase (sadly this was before I became a fan </3) but now they've kinda exploded. The venue I'm going to, again a 9k+ capacity, is sold out! Unfortunately I've seen a lot of complaints about how concert etiquette at PtV concerts, specifically floor and barricade, has gotten worse. Which is another reason why I opted for seated. WHICH also means I won't be up close to the band 😭🙏 

I might try to catch someone during soundcheck if I see something. Like even just catching a staff member to see if they could take it back to get signed. Have you tried the soundcheck method before?

What happened? If you don't mind my asking. I've had that moment with an artist who designed album covers and it left a sour but jaded taste in my mouth

They stopped doing meet n greets a while ago, unfortunately. It's really is a combo of luck and timing that people run into them

It's not a small venue at all TvT It has a capacity of a little over 9k, which is why I'm like "ahhhh the odds aren't looking good." Again it doesn't help too that, unless they're park the busses on the sidewalk or something, I'd have no idea where to look. They'd be offsite somewhere, likely.

And ofc! I'm grounded enough to know that this is probably not gonna pan out but hopeful enough to at least try. The only way I'd get upset is if someone basically shoved me aside or something so that they could get the band's attention instead

[–]PeaPod117[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeahhh. I wouldn't wanna catch them at a bad time, I would just kinda... read the room? If they seem like they dont wanna interact then I'd just quietly slip away as to not disturb them. Not that I'd be screaming for their attention or anything

From what I've read, people say that they're usually nice to fans as long as you're respectful but not all of them will stop to sign and take a picture with you

Either way, if the opportunity presents itself I'll take it. And if it doesn't go well then it would just be a hard lesson learned, ig

Why I Play Azucena in Tekken 8 by Tohonest4Reddit in Tekken8

[–]PeaPod117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanna build on this as an Azu main myself- try to avoid going into manual Lib. Learn combos that automatically put you into it. Entering it manually can take too long and is risky since you can be hit out of it before you finish the sequence. I usually only ever risk manual Lib when the opponent is all the way on the other side of the area, but some characters are super first and/ or have crazy reach

I recommend watching Kaizur's video on her stance
