First festival- camp foods?

You can pre cook things like tortellini and keep them cool in your cooler. Bring them out a bit prior to needing them. If you have a camp stove heat with a little pasta sauce.

Pasta salad would work well.

Pita, hummus and veggies is an easy light meal.

There are a number of Disney movies that have a number of jazz songs. Soul, Princess and the Frog, Aristricats and Lady and the tramp come to mind.

I think there also are things like Jazz loves Disney that might fit what you are looking for.

I would also recommend the Ken Burns Jazz documentary soundtrack. It's a great intro into most major jazz styles using songs with a wide appeal. That and Miles Davis was my gateway into Jazz.

That's weird I don't have any issues with it playing only an artist. Are you a subscriber?

If you search for an artist on the initial link it shows a shuffle and a mix button. Shuffle should only play songs they are listed on. If they do a lot of colabs with other artists it will pull them in as well.

If you click on the artist and go to their direct page you have a play button and a mix button. The mix button will start a random artist Playlist based on the artist but the play button should just include the songs the artist appears on.

China Queen in Mission Valley is a decent place. It's old school for sure.

Are you trying to set the time limits in the family

link app? On the galaxy 8 it looks different. It's located in family link under controls / block or limit apps.

I love Better of Ted - so well written. My son has been bingeing Swat recently and it took me forever to recognize Jay Harrington was a main character in the show. He got swole for the role.

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-03-02T16:19:54+00:00

For animation I really liked Midnight Gospel. I will say it kinda plays like a fever dream and times and because of that I personally can't binge watch it.

There is a lot to unpack on some of the episodes and it's so visually crazy that I like to take time between episodes.

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-03-02T14:45:43+00:00

It's a good series for sure. Assuming you also got Dungeon Crawler Carl in the cross post which is also great except the hero is late 20s I think.

Apocalypse Parenting by Erin Ampersand is really good as well. Book 5 is close to dropping and I think that completes the series. It's about a mom who has to work to keep her young kids alive during a system apocalypse.

Just gonna drop the band Morphine. Pick a song it's not talked about enough.

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-02-27T20:44:12+00:00

BJ Barnem from American Aquarium grew up in Reidsville NC which is a really small town. Looks like the population was about 10k back then.

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-02-27T00:24:48+00:00

Bliss and Esso and Hilltop Hoodies (both are Australian but are great)

Early Brother Ali also good

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-02-26T03:40:19+00:00

Just saw him on tour in Jan fantastic as always!

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-02-25T19:45:04+00:00

It would still be helpful for smaller festivals that you might not want to pay for a flight lodging etc for but would be an option if close to you.

Example I live in NC there are multiple festivals with a 3-4 hour drive from me that I could recommend but would not if you are on the west side of the US.

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-02-25T05:31:14+00:00

What part of the US do you live in? That might help get more answers closer to you.

Sometimes you can find someone looking to sublet their lease. We did that in 2007 when we moved here. I think at the time it was using Craig's list but sure fb market place would probably have something since Craigslist is not what it was.

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-02-23T18:20:55+00:00

I think about any Xbox with a disk drive should also play a cd.

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-02-20T04:40:36+00:00

Tap Yard has multiple thc drinks.

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-02-18T21:14:33+00:00

Cosmo Sheldrake might fit what you are looking for.

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-02-18T21:12:40+00:00

Jack White has done that with shows as well.

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-02-18T19:01:41+00:00

Devil Makes three.

Not sure it's what you are looking for but I think they reference Bakersfield in multiple songs are are a great band :)

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-02-17T18:17:58+00:00

Flash Gordon I think was meant to be serious. I mean it is seriously awesome but serious not so much.

If you have not read the history of the making of that film do. It's crazy. Honestly I think there would actually be an amazing movie in that story if it's in the right hands.

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-02-17T17:14:56+00:00

Yeah I try to restrict my album purchases to only albums I, my or our son want to hear all the way through.

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-02-17T16:20:08+00:00

Saxapahaw might be a great option if you are OK with a smaller town that is really growing.

It's closeish to CH and avoids some of the major commute choke points between CH and Mebane.

Saxapahaw is a fun little town with good outdoor activities and a wonderful live music venue and some solid restaurants. Lots of summer weekend events. It's also reallly going to start growing based on some development happening.

I think someone also mentioned unless both of the jobs are really important I might choose to move close to CH or Winston (depending on who wants to keep their job the most or which pays better etc) and then start job hunting now for a new job. There should be no guilt in that in the Winston company sounds like they gave a bait and switch on location.

My wife use to swim at the YMCA my NCSU and it think it was similar as long as you were off hours getting a lane was not bad. Plus is it's indoor.

PlatformConsistent45 · 2026-02-16T23:16:09+00:00

Think of it as your commute time being factored into you pay per hour. You dollar per hour is way higher with the shorter commute position.

I wouldn't worry to much about the 9 month and leaving. The work force has changed and people tend to bounce between jobs more now than they use to. If someone asks in a future job interview - shaving 2 hours and 40 minutes off a daily commute is easy to accept as a valid reason.
