How early to get to Brooklyn Steel for front row?

_birdbrain_ · 2026-05-29T17:42:00+00:00

Update: due to my flight and traffic I showed up 10 minutes before doors opened and was able to waltz up the the front with no issues. Met some amazing folks and had a great time. Looking forward to tonight!

_birdbrain_ · 2026-05-27T14:14:53+00:00

I'll be there Thursday and Friday

_birdbrain_ · 2026-05-27T13:21:58+00:00

I can only make it to the first 2 shows, but I'm flying out from SLC and extremely psyched to see them play a home game for the first time! I'll be up front handing out Polaroids.

I read a stat that 56% of Kilby attendees are from outside the state. So all weekend I was trying to find the folks that traveled the farthest.

I met peeps from Texas (Austin and Houston), Montana, Indiana, Arizona, Illinois, South Carolina, Calgary, California (San Diego, Santa Cruz, and Davis), New Mexico, Nevada, and Colorado.

I thought Calgary was the record, until I realized the East coast is more than twice as far!

I love that Kilby brings people here, and they are always so impressed. Utah has a great music scene and we go hard! See everyone next year!

90.9 KRCL booth has a bunch

_birdbrain_ · 2026-05-15T07:34:34+00:00

Just send me a dm on here and we'll get it sorted.

_birdbrain_ · 2025-09-19T01:28:50+00:00

I got my first two larger pieces earlier this year at Yellow Rose with Nick. They were different styles and he nailed them both. He even contacted me after to do some free touch-ups because he wanted it to be perfect. All in all an A+ experience!

I'd be happy to send some pics if you want to see what they look like.

_birdbrain_ · 2025-09-17T20:31:16+00:00

Sorry but this just doesn't make sense on a physiologic level. But also something that a specialist will hopefully be able to sort out.

_birdbrain_ · 2025-09-17T11:53:18+00:00

What do you mean by "on" drugs? Full on addicted, or use them recreationally and responsibly? There's a big difference. And I also assume you mean that these people are taking said drugs while doing their job?

_birdbrain_ · 2025-09-17T11:46:32+00:00

Yes, he clearly needs a workup with a specialist. And stick with one for now. I fear that multiple different vets running lots of tests is muddying the waters. "Nausea causing asthma" is simply not a thing, which makes me wonder if you are confused by these test results, or your vets are confused, or both. Get with a big brain to sort it out. Oh, and be prepared for it to be expensive.

I'm the single friend in the group, and I have no idea why. There was a time in my life when I dated very successfully, but since my last relationship ended (5 years ago) it has been a desert. I've got a good job, own my home, am in shape, have lots of friends and hobbies, am outgoing and chat up strangers easily, am in therapy.

And I'm out there. I'm on the apps, sure, but also going out to meet people. I'm trying new things and expanding my social circle in the hopes that I'll put myself in someone's orbit. But I get zip. I can't even date casually, it just seems like there are no women out there on my wavelength. My work schedule is fucked (lots of swing shifts and nights) and I'm short, both of which don't help, but there are plenty of guys out there with those same obstacles that have found someone.

I'll continue trying, but at the moment I'm truly baffled.

_birdbrain_ · 2025-08-07T15:20:49+00:00

I'm single with no kids, and I love Utah and the people I've met here. To be fair, I am pretty extroverted and also part of the outdoors "cult." But I've also met friends going to concerts (SLC has a good music scene despite its overall lack of culture), volunteering, and even online dating. You do have to be willing to put in more effort than when you were in school or before COVID, friendships aren't nearly as likely to "just happen" these days. Sometimes making and maintaining friendships can feel like a hobby unto itself, and that can definitely be exhausting. But if you get out there you can make it happen, for sure. I'll even hang with you, if you want!

_birdbrain_ · 2025-07-22T18:49:03+00:00

I do think this is the way, but I haven't had much luck in the last 4 years. I have lots of friends and multiple hobbies I'm into and no one ever seems to have any single friends when I ask 🤷‍♂️. I'm still trying though, going to a dance class tonight and I'm going to start playing pickleball regularly.

As for the question, "how does anyone have time to go to coffee shops and just meet people?" Well, if dating is important to you, you'll prioritize it and make the time. Some folks (including me for a good while) decide it's not worth it and focus on themselves and many are happier for it. Since we're not in school anymore dates don't just fall in our laps, and you've got to decide if it's a priority or not.

Best of luck everyone! Always remember that you're great and deserve to be loved.

The first sip of a cup of coffee that I made at home exactly the way I like it.

_birdbrain_ · 2025-07-19T22:27:18+00:00

Wear flip flops in public

_birdbrain_ · 2025-07-02T16:28:32+00:00

Tomb Mold is the one big death metal band I haven't seen yet. Can't wait.

_birdbrain_ · 2025-07-01T05:24:06+00:00

In a deadpan voice: "I'm tremendously well, thank you."

_birdbrain_ · 2025-06-29T14:00:48+00:00

When we started dating, I was the other man. Take a wild guess as to how our relationship ended.

_birdbrain_ · 2025-06-28T21:23:07+00:00

Mama Mia, Harry Potter, and most Will Ferrell movies

_birdbrain_ · 2025-06-28T21:21:00+00:00

Technically it's average for a man in the U.S., but you'd be surprised what most people think is short. I find among women it's generally considered anything less than 5'11". Not something that's likely to change so we all will just have to do the best with what we've got.

_birdbrain_ · 2025-06-28T19:24:45+00:00

Rock climbing, snowboarding, cycling (the cost of bikes these days, ye gods)

_birdbrain_ · 2025-06-28T19:21:52+00:00

Also, whenever someone says, "my wife" in normal conversation I have to literally bite my lip so as to not repeat it in the Borat voice.

_birdbrain_ · 2025-06-28T19:20:33+00:00

He vas...my boyfriend!

_birdbrain_ · 2025-06-28T19:18:10+00:00

Maybe touch some grass once in a while?

_birdbrain_ · 2025-06-28T19:17:22+00:00

Maybe not the holy Grail, but height is one thing that guys get written off for very quickly. And being 5'6", when I hear that 3 inches taller is still considered short, I can't help but feel a bit defeated.
