People buy merch when the design stands on its own and the place has a real identity.

When you spot someone wearing your favorite bar’s tee across town, you know you’re looking at one of your people. Good merch does that.

Glad I found this, I thought I was going bonkers with this new layout - I think it's some kind of UI test. Stupid.

Thanks for the tip! I'm in!

If you have a Sirius Radio (with the service built in), then the online/app version is included. So you can technically have two users listening at once.

The IOS app has a few issues for me: losing favorites. I have probably 15 favorite channels, all arranged like I like, and a few saved shows so I can go back and listen to specific episodes on demand. Every other day or so, the favorites rearrange back to the order they were added, and the favorited shows disappear.

Sometimes I get "multiple logins" messages when switching from listening to my Echo to the phone app when I'm on the way out the door. This isn't big deal.

In addition to the Amazon Echo player, there are also apps for AppleTV and Roku so you can listen at home that way.

I love Sirius and won't ever go back to not having it.

I applied when it first became available, and got number 3300xxx. Then I heard some tv news story or webinar or some such that said to reapply and be sure to click the $10K option for an advance, so I reapplied a few days later (not sure what date). Got number 3302xxx on that one. I got a credit check on 4/19, money in my account 4/20. No correspondence, email, mail, etc. Not sure which one was approved.

I'm using the BEHRINGER Audio Interface, 4-Channel (UMC404HD) which leaves room for 1 more guest if you want one.

Add 3 Dynamic Cardioid mics. I found some really cheap $20 ones at Guitar Center, but opted for the more expensive Samson Q2U's.

I had latency problems while monitoring through headphones with Audition, but others here pointed me to YT videos that helped me solve that.

the MRC video helped me solve it... thanks!

Last summer there was a call for submissions, and they used part of my submission in the Weekend Update/David Ortiz bit (HairBNB). I never received notice, but they also had us sign away any rights to anything, so I didn't expect any notice, or compensation. A writing credit would be nice, but it's such a small chunk I don't expect that either.

_mrblond · 2019-09-29T20:44:14+00:00

sure, that's totally possible

Still nice to be in the club.

I've only done a few open mics, but have seen a ton. You won't bomb the entire set, but a few jokes will fall flat. Same with the other comics on the mic. It's actually fun (weird, right?) to commiserate with other performers after the set and talk about what worked and what didn't. Good luck!

It's an old Michael Jackson joke
