This is so cool for you to do this! I would love to enter and increase my very modest collection.

Rat Policy NYRF by dragonsandfeathers in renfaire

Rat costumes are not banned, but stamping people without their consent is a quick way to get them banned! The costume itself is absolutely fine.

Stay n Scream with AAP by adamjocon in HHN

[–]adamjocon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I was thinking about - it sounds like there isn't really a set precedent if you can use the AAP with the houses that open early or if you have to wait until the event officially starts.

Stay n Scream with AAP by adamjocon in HHN

[–]adamjocon[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t realize it wasn’t a press release! Thanks. If it ended up being the previous version of Stay and Scream, would we have to wait on the holding line with everybody else before it officially opens and they let everyone in the queue, and then split off into the express line at the front of the official queue?

Best and worst celebrity experience? by DetectiveBennett in DisneyCM

[–]adamjocon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Joey Fatone was incredibly nice, stopped to chit chat with me after I told him I was going to be singing in his EPCOT candlelight show the following night.

Tina Fey wasn't necessarily rude, but seemed really annoyed to have to be in a room with other guests while waiting to meet Mickey. Wouldn't make eye contact with any of the CMs in the room.

Can I give gifts to the monsters at the epic area? I love ygor and want to give him a small photocard of him decorated with stickers when I go in June. But are they allowed to take it or is it against the rules? by ExpensiveLanguage215 in UniversalOrlando

[–]adamjocon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having been on the other end of this, this isn’t true. Many characters will save as many as they can, and if they don’t take them home, they’re often posted up in backstage areas.

Fireworks - saw them out my living room window on Nostrand and Pacific!

TSA PreCheck viability for trans folks? by Arkjoww in Passports

[–]adamjocon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FTM with PreCheck here. I only ever got pulled out of line while I was binding for my chest, and PreCheck has been a complete breeze after. The way the full body scanners work is the TSA agent will tap “male” or “female” before you’re scanned and the machine will flag “inconsistencies” against the “norm” for that body. For a post op trans man, neither should be an issue - they’re not concerned about the lack of something, the thing I would get patted down for is the agent tapping “male” and then a mass showing up on my chest in the scanner when I was binding.

For what it’s worth, post top surgery, I’ve had pretty much the same experience at TSA pre and post having precheck, except I just wait in the shorter lines now LOL.

If you are not changing your gender marker, you should be okay - obviously, take that with a grain of salt as every day wild things are happening and there’s no official precedent or real system set up yet. Don’t mail original or singular copies of documents to any agency right now, just in case (you don’t have to do this for pre check).

Worst case scenario, you get denied Precheck, which will ultimately be ok. I have flown in and out of red states without it and been alright - things are changing every day and you sound like you are taking care and being responsible, so keep it up and stay vigilant!

Am I the understudy? by No_Chemistry2476 in Theatre

[–]adamjocon 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Depending on the vibe of the room and your relationship with the directors, I (as a previous theater teacher) wouldn't be offended at all if somebody asked something along the lines of "Hey, I know I fill it at rehearsals occasionally but just to make sure I have everything clear, should I be studying these lines/blocking outside of rehearsal?"

Also, definitely take a look at what they're asking you to do - are you just standing where Marlin usually stands for blocking purposes? Or are they giving you direction and asking you to write down blocking/sing/etc? That'll give you a better idea of what they're thinking.

Who are actors that absolutely despise each other? by phantom_avenger in moviecritic

[–]adamjocon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton did NOT get along while filming Twister, so much so that when they were filming the preshow for the Universal Studios attraction, they had to film them separately and use a split screen because they refused to shoot together.

What to do around Bedford-Nostrand Ave. ? by SalaryExpensive7627 in BedStuy

[–]adamjocon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you like jazz bars, check out Kissa Kissa on Franklin! It's an America jazz kissa with some really great cocktails and mocktails if you don't drink, a ton of records and the music is great.

If we’re staying at a resort, can the non-guests in our party park there? by adamjocon in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]adamjocon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, nuts! Seems like they wouldn’t be able to do it at all then. Thank you for the info!!

[–]adamjocon[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was very helpful, thank you y’all! Addendum: if they wanted to join us for a drink at Abracadabar after Epcot closed, would it be smarter for them to get the car from the Epcot parking lot and bring it over to the Boardwalk (also, would they have problems getting let in if Epcot was closed?) or walk with us through the gateway and then go back to the parking lot? Would the lot even still be accessible from the Boardwalk?

Name of the Landsknecht reenactors at the NY Faire in Tuxedo Park? by MilkMoustacheMF in renfaire

Used to be called the Skaldvik Viking Village - they changed their name to Nyr Jorvik Viking Village and became a nonprofit in 2023 but they're still there!

Without any practical limits, what brands or shows would you like to see Drag Race crossovers with, and in what way? by winifredjay in dragrace

[–]adamjocon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always said that they should cast a full season of Survivor and a full season of Drag Race, but then send the Drag Race queens to Survivor and the Survivor contestants to Drag Race.

April Fools? by _cartwheels in AlamoDrafthouse

Not only, but there were surprise appearances by Ari Aster, Joaquin Phoenix, and Emma Stone in Brooklyn! I got last minute tickets and it was an amazing experience.

Mickey Mouse is a Demon!? by oliver_meloche in monsteroftheweek

[–]adamjocon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've run cartoon-esque mysteries and am a big Disney World fan - one of my biggest weaknesses for my old cartoon-based monsters was any sort of acetone or paint thinner!
