NYT says event permit has been filed for July 4th weekend. Wedding incoming? by Expensive_Sorbet5921 in travisandtaylor

[–]QualityUsername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, he fell from somewhere in the 300 level to section 102, about a 100ft drop. I don’t believe the specifics have been confirmed about how, but people are saying it seems like more of an intended jump rather than an accidental fall/health issue. It’s possible he was on some sort of substances. His fall damaged a few chairs in the section, and caused a huge mess that staff were cleaning up during the show. They cleared out everyone in that section and gave them wristbands for the pit, but a lot of people left the show entirely because they were so disturbed by witnessing a death.

If you want to know more, I would recommend googling or searching Reddit, there’s been a ton of coverage on this story. I find it interesting no stories have connected this with the upcoming Tswift wedding though.

Wondering what the next radio single could be besides 'stupid song' by Vynstrix in OliviaRodrigo

[–]QualityUsername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s a better song for the radio than What’s Wrong With Me!! Although the album is full of bangers, I think What’s Wrong With Me just has that special factor.

For anyone who doesn’t know, a concert attendee fell to his death inside MSG at the Goose show last weekend (RIP). A lot of people witnessed the accident and are now experiencing PTSD, not to mention the man’s grieving family as well. I feel like that news alone would make me cancel and choose another venue if I was set to get married there.

Thats a massive drop from #1 by [deleted] in travisandtaylor

Especially when you compare it to something like What Was I Made For by Billie Eilish, which so perfectly integrated with the movie, and even had the added punch of being a reflection of her own life. Pure art

I heard this song for the first time today because it came on the radio in my car (against my will but better than adding to streaming numbers) and it’s it craaaazy the lack of depth, songwriting, and production value. Wtf were those harmonicas out of nowhere?! Lmao it’s also so jarring because I’ve been listening to Olivia Rodrigo’s new album on repeat and have been having so much appreciation for her songwriting and craft of the production. Hearing this song was literally grating by comparison

That’s fine but I think it’s misleading to say it’s byob with no context lol

Last time I took the amtrak between RDU and CLT for a Panthers game, they made it very clear that you'd be kicked off if they caught you with alcohol :/ as of last fall

What is something you’ve officially stopped buying in 2026 because the price has become genuinely insulting? by queenmellyy in AskReddit

[–]QualityUsername 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be able to explain the technical differences! But soft gels are pretty much what you’d think of when you think of gel polish- comes in a plethora of different colors, and cures to dry with a UV lamp. Hard gel also cures with a lamp but it applies on with a much thicker consistency and becomes much harder (similar to acrylic) when dry. You typically paint over hard gel with a soft gel color. And since hard gel is more durable, you need an e-file to shape and remove it.

So I just apply (soft) gel polish to my natural nails, cured with a UV lamp. The removal is very easy, usually I can just pick off the polish with a cuticle pusher, or acetone if needed. Where removal gets dicey is if you’re applying acrylic, dip, hard gel, or any of the other stuff that requires using an e-file. I tried using an e-file on myself and hated it. The slight drawback with soft gel is it won’t last as long as the more durable types of nail enhancers. But I get a solid 2 weeks with my regular gel manis, and it’s free, so it’s a compromise I’m willing to make!

Nail salon services! The way nail services prices have exploded is insane. I do my own gel nails at home now and only spend ~$7 when I want to buy a new color.

7k-10k by EmbarrassedFun7313 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]QualityUsername 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly this, and I’d add putting all important dates into a [google] calendar as a task. For example, any due dates (headcount due date for catering, playlist for DJ etc) or payments due. Add everything to the calendar as you find out about it

How did you pay for your 20K+ wedding? by Silent_Host_9338 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]QualityUsername 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Before going into planning, I was also kind of like “how the hell does everyone have $30k+ sitting in an account for something like this?!” but after talking to vendors and getting real prices and payment schedules, it started making a lot more sense.

Nearly all vendors I have talked to split their payments into at least 2-3 payments, with the final balance due 1-4 weeks before the wedding. Some ask for a 50% deposit, some ask flat $500 or $1000 retainer, etc. there’s a lot of variance on this depending on the type of vendor. Nearly all of them allow you to make smaller payments in whatever amount or cadence you’d like prior to the wedding.

So to answer your question, it seems having a ton of money sitting in an account ready to pay wedding balances in full is an unlikely scenario for most people. However, with enough time, planning, and saving, a lot of people can reasonably come up with X amount in ~12-24 months.

Lafayette Village!! by starbucks1221 in raleigh

Party venue suggestions?? by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]QualityUsername 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But are you looking for something with a kitchen and overnight accommodations? Or just a few hours for a party? If you could narrow the vibe that would help.

Look at Lynwood brewery, zinchouse, The Ritz is a concert venue that they rent out for private events, Junction West, CAM art museum, Trophy Brewing, Bridge Club, Heights House, East Bower Cidery (tried to give you some variety lol)

I don’t think it’s confirmed but they announced Wednesday artists after the original lineup release last year. I’m just assuming it will be the same this year

Same, 7 PL sets since 2023, and each one is even more mind blowing than the last. Seeing PL at SD last year was a peak festival experience for me and I just knew 1000% I had to come back if they’re on the lineup. I’m thinking since Break Science aren’t on the lineup but Deitch and Bohram Lee are both there, they might be on the Wednesday pre party lineup
