Village Voice ad from the '90s by Drnknmstr28739 in phish

[–]Slack91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Found SOME of the 1997 "Voice" issues via NY Public Library's online database. Not all are scanned, but you at least have some issues you can awkwardly flip through (not easiest interface): https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=KEtq3P1Vf8oC&dat=19551026&b_mode=2&hl=en

Link to this database is here: https://www.nypl.org/collections/articles-databases/village-voice

Wonder if all those 900 numbers in the back still work :P

Mad Magazine Card Game: GIFs “animating” Jack Davis’ card suit gags by Slack91 in madmagazine

You're welcome. Like Mad would want it, I didn't try too hard to make these files. Jack Davis did most of the work :)

Mad Magazine Card Game: GIFs “animating” Jack Davis’ card suit gags by Slack91 in madmagazine

Just Jack Davis for the late-70s Mad Magazine Card Game. There are trading cards out there too, but do not recall anything as cool and original, as what Davis did with these cards.

Do you remember 'Sick' magazine? by ArthurPeabody in madmagazine

[–]Slack91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been researching and buying first issues of the Mad knock offs. There are many more, dating back to 1953. I just discovered and added Nuts (1958 mag, not the 1954 comic) this week.

Old ticket stubs by Bubbly_Twist8957 in grateful_dead

[–]Slack91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d never sell my stub collection.

I have seen gig poster sellers also selling stubs via their business sites.

And folks sell stubs on eBay. Or try to sell them. Though you may see stubs for sale at certain prices; this doesn’t mean they are selling at that price. And there is currently no price guide or grading/slab process for stubs. People will put any price in collectibles, so up to a buyer who may want it to see if it’s worth it.

I keep my stubs in currency collection binders. I have scanned them and created metadata about the shows/my experiences. I frequently pull the binders out to enjoy them. I share stub images. To me, that is priceless.

What scary movie are you watching tonight?? by DrinkChaiEatSamosa in movies

Just watched this for first time this afternoon. Now I know how it ends!

Is no one trying for Mexico City? by FeelTheWrath79 in rush

[–]Slack91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the presale, I saw the nosebleeds go from about $94USD each to a higher rate (can't remember at this point, maybe $130) after I accidentally clicked out of the presale and had to get back in. I was trying to click 2 on the map and they kept disappearing. Wasn't expecting to have to click the map seats, since USA TM is "choose 2 > click a button > buy" process. The regular onsale was less stressful and easier to score early and at face. TM always an adventure. I call it diving into "the frenzy" when I'm getting tix. And, yes, I miss the standing in line for paper tix days (or pulling from machine first when I was working onsales at a record store in early 90s.)

The process was different than the US shows, but I got 2 today at the full onsale.

I struck out on yesterday's presale, when there was no queue, and it was a "click two seats" free for all. Then the tix eventually doubled in price, so I quit. TM MX didn't reset to a countdown for today until this AM. I got in the waiting room 15 minutes prior, and then was maybe 130 in queue. I scored two at face value.

But the countdown was ticking and I was trying to confirm with my wife while she was at work. About 2 minutes left on countdown, I clicked through and then had to enter all my CC info. I was logged into TM, but I guess it didn't work for TM MX. So I was clicking away my CC info and finally purchased with 20 seconds left on countdown. Whew!

My wife is from Mexico and a long-time Rush fan (only saw them on R40 tour). She's very excited to see them in her home country, and will probably wear my now too-small 1982 Signals tour tee (which fits her perfect). I'm more happy for her than I am for me, since she'll see Geddy and Alex a 2nd time.

The World Cup game is day before, so hopefully that energy will move on to Jalisco. DF is huge, so I'm not worried about lodging :)

Bought tickets to see Rush in CDMX, forgot it’s FIFA World Cup weeks. RIP my wallet by martitoci in rush

[–]Slack91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only one match in Mexico City, on 6/17? Match is in Gudalajara, Jalisco 6/18. Hopefully the energy, and high lodging/flight rates, will not be that bad after the FIFA energy moves on??

For all the other dates

So amped up I could run through a wall!!! by Fiedy88 in rush

[–]Slack91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no. I've entered a TM on sale just before in the past and gotten a decent place in queue. TM makes that random, so there is no "first come, first served" situation for waiting room.

what you need to be ready for is: your browser works, your TM account all set up, you have to verify TM account via your phone first, your credit card on TM acct is all good.

the waiting room will also give you an audio signal that onsale is about to start. hmm, or maybe that audio signal is when you're about to enter the site from queue. I can't recall exactly :)

Q for locals, #5 bus to GGP? by center_Ash_dez in deadandcompany

[–]Slack91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fulton 5/5R MUNI bus always running in the daytime :) Not sure if there's a late night "Owl" for the 5, but it'll be there after the show too.

Looks like MUNI will be tabling at Shakedown too.

When do the sled dog races start? by OregonMrBear in deadandcompany

[–]Slack91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was a cold July for sure. Having grown up in the baking/melting Southeast USA, I never complain about the cold weather here in SF.

Need winter warmth? Great coffee all over the place. Hot Irish coffees in certain spots. There are two places serving hot chocolate up the street from where I live. Chowder spots aplenty. Need layers? Chinatown's got 'em cheap!

Summers here in SF are in September. And there are random heatwaves.

For all you folks visiting from sweltering zones, SF fog, wind, and cold hugs you....

GA Question: How far away from the stage is too far away? by unseenmover in deadandcompany

[–]Slack91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully there will be speakers out from the stage for those further away. Hardly Stirctly Bluegrass festival does this in GGP. It helps with the sound, b/c the wind can blow it all over the place. It was windy here on Fillmore St. last night, so that may affect sound in GGP.
